Chapter 15: The Breakthrough Before the Competition
() Ming Jianfeng, Shanmen Hall!
Although it is already afternoon, the place is still bustling with people.
Because it will be the day of the competition between the outer disciples in a short time. In order to have more protection, many outer disciples gathered in front of the jade bis where the mission was announced, striving to earn more contribution points from the disciples.
"Who is this? Why does it smell so bad?"
Suddenly, the crowd near the main entrance started to stir, running away like the plague.
Then, a beggar-like figure with unkempt hair and tattered clothes strode in. If it weren't for the identity jade plaque around his waist that clearly showed his identity as a disciple of the Ming Jianfeng outer sect, he would have been kicked out long ago.
.
However, there are some people with keen eyesight who have seen the extraordinaryness of this 'beggar'. Not to mention the powerful strength of the eighth level of the transformation realm, just the fierce evil aura emanating from his body means that he is dead.
There are by no means a few monsters in his hands. This is a true ascetic, a ruthless person who cannot be messed with!
"Phew, finally back!"
Looking at the majestic Shanmen Hall in front of him, Jiang Wen breathed a sigh of relief. He ignored the crowd who looked at him with strange eyes and walked straight towards the depths of the Shanmen Hall.
Because he was worried that other pursuers would appear, after killing Yao Ping, a disciple of Tianfeng Valley, Jiang Wen carried the seriously injured Zou Rong back all the way. It took him two days and two nights to get out of the jungle.
Not long ago, the two of them parted ways at the foot of the mountain. Zou Rong went directly to the forbidden area at the back of the mountain where Elder Meng Guxuan of Ming Jianfeng retreated, while Jiang Wen came all the way to the main hall of the mountain gate without having time to rest.
After passing through a long and deep corridor, Jiang Wen came to the inner hall. It was very quiet here. There were only three or five people wandering around the hall. They came and left in a hurry, never making too much noise.
Dozens of exquisite wooden shelves were erected on the walls around the inner hall. Each wooden shelf was divided into dozens of small grids, which contained various items. When Jiang Wen walked in,
There was a thin, middle-aged man standing in front of the wooden frame, busy placing the items in his hands in the small grid. He was none other than Wu Zhen, the deacon in charge of managing the 'Mission Hall'.
"Deacon Wu and disciple Jiang Wen are here to deliver the mission!"
Jiang Wen did not rush forward, but waited until Wu Zhen finished the work in his hands before he began to deliver the task.
"Take out your mission jade token!"
Wu Zhen had a business-like tone and did not look at Jiang Wen differently because of his attitude.
"yes!"
Although Jiang Wen came here for the first time, he had already understood the specific process of delivering the task. When Wu Zhen finished speaking, he had already handed over the jade medal for the task that he had prepared in his hand.
"Hey, it's actually this mission?"
Seeing the mission jade plaque that Jiang Wen took out, Wu Zhen's face suddenly showed a look of surprise. He hung up the task of collecting Poria cocos with his own hands, so he naturally understood how difficult this task was.
Poria grass itself is relatively rare. Even if you search the entire Luoxia Waterfall, you may not be able to find one. And those water monsters living in Luoxia Waterfall are extremely dangerous and difficult to deal with, even if they are in the Xiantian realm.
The monk may not be able to successfully complete the task. Therefore, the initiator of the task will add an additional Yuan Pei Dan as a reward.
"This little guy has a very strong evil spirit. It seems that he really put in a lot of effort to complete the task!"
Wu Zhen looked Jiang Wen up and down, and was not dissatisfied with Jiang Wen's sloppy appearance. Instead, a gentle smile appeared on his face, "Looking at your tired appearance, you must want to get the Peiyuan Pill as soon as possible."
Go and practice in seclusion. In this case, I won’t waste your time. Now take out your identity jade tag and the Poria cocos I collected, and I’ll register it for you!”
"Excuse me, Mr. Deacon!"
Jiang Wen said politely, then took out a hundred-year-old Poria cocos plant from the package and handed it over.
The temperature of this Poria plant is about 130 years, which is the lowest temperature among all the Poria plants in Jiang Wen's hands. It is enough to deliver the task. Wu Zhen checked it carefully, and after confirming that it was correct, he put the Poria plant into the pot.
He carefully stored it in a jade box, then turned around and took out a curved-neck jade bottle from the wooden shelf behind him.
"This is your mission reward!"
Wu Zhen handed the jade bottle containing the Peiyuan Pill to Jiang Wen along with the identity jade plaque, and said with a smile: "Although this Peiyuan Pill can quickly improve the cultivation level, it still has some side effects, which will affect the meridians of the monks."
Cause damage. Before you take Peiyuan Dan, it is best to find a hundred-year-old purple ginseng as a medicine and take it together, the effect will be better!"
As the deacon of the 'Mission Hall', Wu Zhen had no obligation to remind Jiang Wen, but he loved the talent so much that he told Jiang Wen the taboos of taking Peiyuan Dan.
"Thank you, Mr. Deacon, for your advice!"
Jiang Wen bowed gratefully. If Wu Zhen hadn't reminded him, he wouldn't have known that taking Peiyuan Dan had side effects.
On a normal day, this side effect would not have much impact on him at all. It only takes ten days and a half to recover. It is definitely worth using this time to improve his cultivation by one level.
But now it is less than a month before the day of the outer disciple competition. If his meridians are damaged by that time, he may have to withdraw from the competition.
"Okay, you go back and rest!"
Seeing the unconcealable tiredness on Jiang Wen's face, Wu Zhen stepped forward and patted his shoulder, smiling and encouraging: "The day of the annual outer disciple competition is coming soon.
After you go back, you must improve your strength as soon as possible and strive to get a good ranking in the competition. If you can break into the top ten, there will be great benefits waiting for you!"
"Top ten? Benefits?"
Jiang Wen's eyes lit up and he smiled confidently: "Please rest assured, Master Deacon, this disciple will certainly live up to his expectations!"
Originally, Jiang Wen was planning to stand out in the competition among the outer disciples to attract the attention of Lingyun Sect's senior officials. Now that he heard Wu Zhen's words, he was even more looking forward to this competition. As a deacon of Lingyun Sect, Wu Zhen
The things he came into contact with were all very high-end, and something that he could call a 'great benefit' must be extraordinary.
.....................
Swish swish swish——
In the neat courtyard, a figure was concentrating on waving a long sword in his hand. The strong wind brought by the sharp sword energy swirled in the air endlessly, kicking up dust on the ground.
"Severe wind, break!"
After using a set of sword techniques, a loud shout suddenly sounded in the courtyard, and then a sword energy more than a foot long burst out and hit a sword target near the wall. There was a boom, sparks flying, and a sword made of diamond stone.
The sword target could not withstand the huge destructive power of the sword energy and broke into two pieces.
"The fusion degree of the violent wind sword force has finally reached the second level!"
There were only two days left before the competition for the outer disciples. Jiang Wen did not dare to relax at all, and meticulously honed the violent wind sword technique, and his strong mental power allowed him to clearly sense every change in the sword technique.
, practice to get twice the result with half the effort. After more than half a month of running in, he finally improved the integration of the violent wind sword power and sword moves by one level.
This seems simple, but the difficulties contained in it are unimaginable by ordinary people. You must know that even Zou Rong, who ranks seventh among the Mingjianfeng inner disciples, has only cultivated the fusion of sword power to the third place.
It’s only the third level, and ordinary warriors must have at least the cultivation level of the Reborn Realm to be able to do this!
Speaking of which, Jiang Wen's sword fusion was able to make breakthroughs so quickly thanks to his life-and-death battle with Yao Ping, a disciple of Tianfeng Valley. Although the consequences of leaping over a higher level to use a mysterious skill were serious, he
As a result, his spiritual power has broken through to the level of a second-level spiritual master, and the increase in spiritual power has naturally led to changes in the fusion of momentum, making his strength even more breakthrough.
"The person who originally created this violent wind sword-cutting technique is definitely a rare genius!"
The more he practiced the 'Floating Wind Slash' sword technique, the more extraordinary Jiang Wen was able to feel. Other Xuan-level martial arts, such as the 'Thirteen Flowing Cloud Swords' practiced by Zou Rong, differentiated the 'Flowing Cloud Sword Power'.
It is integrated into the Thirteen Moves Sword Technique and practiced step by step. However, the 'Gust Wind Slash' sword technique is only one move, and all the essence of 'Gust Wind Sword Power' has been integrated into it, which is even better in terms of realm.
"If there is a chance, I must find the creator of this Crazy Thunder Sword Technique and communicate with him. I will definitely benefit a lot!"
Jiang Wen could feel that the creator of the Crazy Thunder Sword Technique had found a new path and embarked on a unique path of sword cultivation. As a master of swordsmanship, Jiang Wen was very interested in this. But unfortunately, Ling Yun
The secret book of Crazy Thunder Slash collected by Zong was only a set of fragments, and he felt very regretful that he could not see the whole sword technique.
Putting his ambitious thoughts behind him, Jiang Wen shook his head with a wry smile, walked slowly into the practice room, came to the futon and sat down cross-legged.
In the more than half a month since returning to Lingyun Sect, Jiang Wen has not been in a hurry to take the Peiyuan Pill. Instead, he has been working hard to absorb and refine the demon pill left by the red velvet thread snake cub to consolidate his own cultivation.
.Just last night, he successfully raised his cultivation level to the peak of the eighth level of the Mortal Transformation Realm. Now he will work hard to raise his true energy level to another level before the competition between the outer disciples.
"My heart is like ice crystal, and I won't be surprised if the sky falls..."
Jiang Wen held his breath and concentrated, silently reciting the Calming Mantra in his heart. After a while, after he completely eliminated the distracting thoughts in his mind and adjusted his energy and spirit to the peak state, he immediately picked up the bowl of food on hand.
The decoction made from the crushed purple ginseng was drank in one gulp.
In an instant, a cool air rose from the abdomen, and soon circulated throughout the body through the blood circulation.
About ten minutes passed, and when the medicinal power of purple ginseng penetrated into the flesh and bones of his body, he immediately took out a medicine bottle from his arms, poured out the Peiyuan Pill inside, and swallowed it whole.
boom!
Peiyuan Dan melts in the mouth, and when combined with the medicinal power of Purple Lingshen, it seems that some kind of strange chemical reaction has occurred, and it boils violently.
"Whether you can be promoted to the ninth level of the Mortal Realm, you have to give it a try today!"
Without hesitation, Jiang Wen immediately activated the Dragon-Elephant Prajna Kung Fu, pulling the intensely boiling power of the Yuan-Pui Yuan Pill in his belly to circulate rapidly in his body according to the route of the true energy.
"It actually contains such powerful energy. It is indeed a spiritual elixir worth seven hundred sect contribution points."
Jiang Wen silently sensed the changes in his body. As the power of the Guiyuan Pill entered the Eight Extraordinary Meridians, the next moment, his body underwent strange changes, and there was a burning sensation, as if iron ore was passing through.
After being baptized by high temperature, the impurities inside were eliminated bit by bit, and the most essence of it was slowly extracted.
At the same time, as Jiang Wen breathed, his chest also rose and fell regularly. It wasn't that streaks of gray turbid air spurted out from the pores on his body. These were the impurities hidden in his body.
In this way, a full day and night passed, and the power of Peiyuan Dan circulated back and forth in the twelve main meridians and eight extraordinary meridians over and over again. After being tempered and condensed by the Dragon Elephant Prajna Gong, the final transformation was completed.
, transformed into the purest true energy.
"Haha, it finally worked!"
As the majestic zhenqi returned to his dantian, Jiang Wen felt a warm breath spread all over his body instantly, and his whole body and mind were warm, as if soaked in a spiritual spring, feeling indescribably comfortable and relaxed. This
This strange change made him realize that the power of Peiyuan Dan was working, and his Dragon Elephant Prajna Skill was successfully promoted to the ninth level.
