Chapter 70 Deepening
Gradually, it approached the depth of two hundred feet.
Feeling that the cold air around him was getting heavier and heavier, he had to use most of his true energy to deal with the invading cold air.
If An Fu goes down a little deeper, the effect of the practice should be almost the same. The deeper the place, the cold air will be a bit too strong, which may not be suitable for practice. What's more, there is Sima Chi down there, and he has to use most of his true energy to fight
Han Qi, facing Sima Chi, the chances of winning will only get smaller and smaller. In order to avoid him causing trouble for him, it is better to practice here.
Having decided on the plan, we slowly approached the slightly wider place in front of us.
But when he approached there, he was shocked to find a senior fellow from the inner sect, sitting cross-legged there. Ling Xiao knew that his name was Xi Jun, he was at the sixth level of Qi training, and he had just entered the inner sect not long ago.
Ling Xiao couldn't help but frown slightly.
This place is only 200 feet away from the surface. With a sixth level of Qi training, the effect of practicing here may not be very good, right? It's really weird that someone would appear here.
But after all, this was someone else's private matter, and Ling Xiao didn't want to interfere. He passed by him carefully, intending to go to the next place.
Two hundred and ten feet above the surface.
There was actually a senior brother here, Cheng Hong, who was also at the sixth level of Qi training. Ling Xiao was suspicious in his heart and passed by him, continuing down.
Two hundred and twenty feet above the surface.
There are still people...
Two hundred and thirty feet, there are people... Two hundred and forty feet, there are people...
Ling Xiao's face became increasingly ugly. Among the inner sect disciples, he is the only one with the weakest cultivation, only at the fourth level of Qi training. The others are all at least above the sixth level of Qi training. Different cultivation realms are suitable for cultivation.
Places are also different. Senior brothers who are on the sixth level of Qi training should practice at a place four hundred feet or even deeper.
In other words, he should have the least number of brothers competing with him for position. Why are there people in five places in a row?
Continuing downward, two hundred and fifty feet, there are people... Two hundred and sixty feet, there are still people...
As it went downwards, the surrounding cold air became heavier and heavier. Ling Xiao's steps became slower and slower, and he had to devote almost all his energy to fighting the surrounding cold air. If Sima Chi came to trouble him again at this time, he would also
The only way is to sacrifice the pair of puppets and then turn around and run away.
At two hundred and seventy feet, there was still someone there, and it was Senior Brother Hao An!
He is at the eighth level of Qi training.
For disciples at the eighth level of Qi training, the most suitable place for cultivation is probably under six hundred feet; practicing here will be almost completely ineffective.
Ling Xiao was already sure that this was the method Sima Chi came up with to deal with him.
Although it looks stupid, I have to admit that it is indeed very effective. Although the entire ice tree root cave is thousands of feet deep, the only ones that are really suitable for his cultivation are the dozen or so positions between 200 feet and 300 feet.
.
If Sima Chizhen found more than ten brothers and occupied all these positions, how could he practice? He would either risk going deeper, or he would have to retreat more than a hundred feet.
Ling Xiao looked at Senior Brother Hao An who was sitting there with his eyes closed tightly, as if he was meditating and not saying a word.
He coldly withdrew his gaze and continued walking down slowly.
Going deeper, sure enough, all the training areas were occupied by people. All the way to the place three hundred feet away, Sima Chi himself was sitting cross-legged there. As soon as he saw Ling Xiao coming, he couldn't help but laugh proudly.
He smiled and said: "Haha, Ling Xiao, there is no place to practice? You'd better go back up there! From two hundred feet to three hundred and fifty feet, there are already people there. You wouldn't expect that there are people below three hundred and fifty feet.
Right? Haha."
Not to mention three hundred and fifty feet, just here, Ling Xiao could already feel waves of bone-chilling coldness coming over him. The effect of practicing here would probably not be very good, let alone continuing down.
.
But go back?
At less than 200 feet, the speed of cultivation is probably less than half of what it would be after 200 feet, right?
Ling Xiao only glanced at Sima Chi lightly, said nothing, walked past him calmly, and continued walking slowly down.
Sima Chi was stunned and said in disbelief: "You are at the fourth level of Qi training, how dare you practice under three hundred and fifty feet?" He just felt that Ling Xiao was crazy, even though he himself was at the fifth level of Qi training.
His cultivation level only dares to practice in a place of 350 feet, or at most 360 feet.
Why would Ling Xiao dare?
Could it be that he just didn't want to give up and wanted to go down and take a look? Thinking that it was very possible, Sima Chi snorted and followed. His speed was not fast, and the freezing level here made it somewhat unbearable for him.
However, if he could watch Ling Xiao deflate and have no choice but to retreat, it would be worth it if he went down and suffered such a cold.
Three hundred and fifty feet.
There are still people, but they are the last ones. Sima Chi is not worried, because Ling Xiao in front seems to be close to the limit, his body is shivering from the cold, and his face is ashen. If he continues, let alone practice.
, it may be quite a challenge to walk steadily.
A wild smile of victory began to appear on his face. When he thought about it, Ling Xiao must have retreated.
Ling Xiao seemed to still not give up, and moved very slowly to the place three hundred and fifty feet away. There was still a senior brother there, Zhou Yang, who was at the seventh level of Qi training.
Everyone thought that Ling Xiao had no choice but to turn around.
Unexpectedly——
Ling Xiao only paused for a moment, turned his head and glanced back, expressionless. Then he turned around, passed by Senior Brother Zhou Yang, and continued walking down.
Sima Chi's expression changed, and several other senior brothers around him also looked surprised.
Disciples on the fourth level of Qi training, not to mention practicing at a place 350 feet below, even walking there is difficult. And I haven’t seen Ling Xiao offering any magic weapon to keep out the cold, so could it be that Master Fuling
Have you taught him some secret techniques? But although you can continue to go deeper in this way, how can you meditate and practice?
The practice of breathing in and out is to circulate the true energy throughout the sky. If all the true energy is used to fight the cold air, how can we still practice?
Sima Chi's face turned green and white, "Go down and have a look!"
As he said that, he took the lead and followed. Several fellow disciples around him were also curious, so they followed closely.
Three hundred and sixty feet later, there was no one there.
Ling Xiao looked back and saw that Sima Chi had followed him with a few people. He couldn't help but frown slightly and continued walking down. With Sima Chi beside him, it would be difficult for him to calm down and practice.
It's better to go deeper.
Three hundred and seventy feet, three hundred and eighty feet...
Ling Xiao continued to go deeper, and Sima Chi's face became more and more livid. On the one hand, it was the surprise in his heart, and on the other hand, he was also frozen. It was close to 400 feet, and even if he walked here, he couldn't bear it.
But looking at Ling Xiao in front of him, his steps became more and more steady, and he walked faster and faster, as if the increasing coldness had no effect on him at all.
How is that possible? He is only at the fourth level of Qi training!
Four hundred feet, four hundred and twenty feet...
Sima Chi felt that his limbs were stiff from the cold, and it was difficult to move. He had no choice but to stop. But looking at Ling Xiao in front of him, he continued to go deeper.
He was getting more and more frightened and angry. How could it be possible? He couldn't bear it anymore. Why could he continue? Why was it Ling Xiao again? It was him every time who made him lose completely. The more he thought about it, the angrier he became. He couldn't help it.
He shouted angrily: "Go and see how deep he can go!"
Zhou Yang and others couldn't help but frown, but they were also surprised at Ling Xiao's performance. After looking at each other for a few times, several people who were at the seventh level of Qi training followed suit.
Five hundred feet, five hundred and twenty feet...
In these places, even Zhou Yang and his disciples at the seventh level of Qi training have already felt the biting cold, and have to use their true energy to protect themselves in order to continue.
But looking at Ling Xiao in front of him, he was clearly only at the fourth level of Qi cultivation, but he still walked calmly, as if he was still far from reaching his limit.
Still continuing, six hundred feet, six hundred and twenty feet...
"What the hell, he, he, how can he still go down?" A person was so shocked that he couldn't help shouting.
Another person immediately let out a sneer, "Are you unable to hold on any longer? You might as well be a disciple at the fourth level of Qi training!"
At first, the man looked embarrassed, but he couldn't help but defended: "So what? How long can you hold on? Aren't you not as good as him?"
Then the man was speechless.
At more than 600 feet, even those disciples at the seventh level of Qi training could no longer bear it any longer, but Ling Xiao in front still continued.
Zhou Yang passed by them silently and continued to follow.
His cultivation level is the deepest among the disciples at the seventh level of Qi training. He is also curious about Ling Xiao, but also dissatisfied. Could it be that he is really no better than a disciple at the fourth level of Qi training?
The zhenqi has reached its peak, his face begins to glow red, and water mist rises from his head.
He is extremely talented, and his cultivation is most focused on fire. He usually prides himself on being able to withstand the cold. Even many seniors who are at the eighth level of Qi training may not be able to penetrate deeper into the ice tree root cave than him. But now, a fourth-level Qi training fellow
The disciple on the first floor actually walked to the front? Immediately, he felt dissatisfied and followed him.
Six hundred and fifty feet, six hundred and sixty feet...
Apart from Zhou Yang, the last disciple at the seventh level of Qi training was finally forced to stop and reluctantly accepted the fact that he was not as good as a fourth-level Qi training disciple.
"There is only Crazy Zhou, and I don't know if he can compare to Ling Xiao!"
"Definitely! Madman Zhou is not afraid of the cold. He can usually go deep to nearly 800 feet, but most of the senior brothers at the eighth level of Qi training can't reach it! Could it be that Ling Xiao is really comparable to the senior brothers at the ninth level of Qi training?
?”
"That's right, there's no way Ling Xiao can go that far!"
There are close to a hundred inner sect disciples in the entire inner sect, but there are only five or six of them, whose cultivation level is above the ninth level of Qi training.
After all, along the way of cultivation, every time you go back one level, it becomes more difficult, and it becomes more difficult to break through. Those who can cultivate to the ninth level of Qi training, the tenth level of Qi training, such as Huang Jian, Xu Yan, Cui Yun... none
One is not a disciple who has been tested for a long time and has a high reputation among the inner sect.
Even though Ling Xiao was in the limelight for a while because of his alchemy, no one would ever compare Ling Xiao with disciples like them who were at the ninth level of Qi training.
After all, if a disciple of the ninth level of Qi training goes one step further to the tenth level of Qi training, he will start preparing to build the foundation!
If he can break through again, he will be the elder of the sect...
How could Ling Xiao compare with them? Even though Ling Xiao's performance before them was indeed amazing, they didn't think Ling Xiao could really go that deep.
But Ling Xiao still continued, Zhou Yang's face became increasingly red, and he followed step by step from behind.
