In a wine shop in Qingchi City, Jiang Ning and a middle-aged man were sitting opposite each other. Between the two of them, there was a short table with a few plates of side dishes and two bottles of wine.
Town objects are the foundation of a sect family.
At the same time, for cultivators, owning a tombstone is equivalent to having an extra life to a certain extent. Therefore, no matter who it is, they cannot refuse the temptation brought by the tombstone.
The middle-aged man smiled and said: "I haven't introduced myself yet. I am Sun Jun, a casual cultivator. When I was traveling on the Nine Provinces Continent, I accidentally came across a secret ruins.
Unfortunately, my cultivation level is low and I am unable to go in, so I would like to invite fellow Daoist Jiang to go with me. By then, I can give you the treasures in the ruins as a thank you."
Jiang Ning had heard about the secret ruins.
There are indeed many caves on the Jiuzhou Continent where powerful casual cultivators can be found. There are elixirs, jewels, magical weapons, and artifacts hidden in them. If you are lucky enough to get them, your strength will surely increase by leaps and bounds.
However, such a place of creation is also accompanied by great crises.
If you accidentally get in, you won't be able to get out again.
Jiang Ning stared at him with a smile but not a smile, and said: "So, the so-called town objects as a token of thanks are those in the ruins. So what should you do if there are no town objects in it?"
He didn't expect it to be simple. After all, the reward for a small item was placed there. However, he didn't expect that the reality was even more unreliable than he imagined.
This made Jiang Ning laugh angrily.
The white wolf with empty gloves actually put it on his own head.
Sun Jun didn't feel any embarrassment at all, and replied: "If there are no town objects, I would be willing to share everything in the ruins with fellow Taoist Jiang."
His words were sincere and his eyes were sincere. For a moment, Jiang Ning couldn't tell the truth from the lie.
After thinking for a while, Jiang Ning said: "There are more Yang Shen warriors on the Flying Star Boat who are more advanced than me. Why choose me instead of them?"
Jiang Ning is not the kind of person who is easily fooled by lard.
Even if he wanted to secure something, he would never gamble with his own life, so Jiang Ning would never agree easily until he knew the other party's true purpose.
Without even thinking about it, Sun Jun said: "According to what I have learned during this period, there is a powerful formation at the entrance of the ruins, and those with cultivation levels above the Nascent Soul realm cannot enter at all."
Having said this, he paused and said with a smile: "It is easy to find a strong person in the Yangshen realm, but it is difficult to find someone who is invincible at the same level in the Nascent Soul realm. There is probably only one Jiang Daoyou in the entire Feixingzhou.
"
Regardless of whether this reason is true or not, at least it sounds like there is no problem. Jiang Ning couldn't tell what he was thinking, so he could only say: "Okay, the last question, where is the ruins you mentioned?"
He is going to the Sea of Life and Death to rescue Wu Shiyi. If the location of the ruins is too far away and affects his plan, then Jiang Ning will give up no matter how attractive the reward is.
Hearing this, Sun Jun smiled even more.
He knew that Jiang Ning was already interested, and immediately said: "The location of the ruins is quite dangerous. It is in Dongjie City, which is the giant city closest to the Sea of Life and Death on the Kyushu Continent today. I wonder if Jiang Daoyou still dares to go with us?"
Dongjie City is located on the South China Sea border of Yunzhou and does not conflict with Jiangning's destination.
As for the danger, a person who is about to go to the Sea of Life and Death himself should still be afraid of a huge city close to the Sea of Life and Death?
Jiang Ning thought for a moment and nodded: "Yes, I agree to your invitation, but before that, I need to know all the information about the ruins. If you have anything to hide, I will withdraw immediately."
There are many dangers in going to the Sea of Life and Death. If you can get a controllable object to defend yourself, you will undoubtedly have more confidence to save your life.
So after much thought, Jiang Ning decided to agree.
As for what Sun Jun will be thinking about later, we still can't tell at the moment. We can only wait and see step by step.
"I hope you don't have any thoughts, otherwise, don't blame me for being cruel."
Jiang Ning thought to himself.
Sun Jun laughed and praised: "I know I saw the right person. With fellow Daoist Jiang on our side, you and I will definitely be able to return home with a full load this time."
Amidst the commotion, their wine glasses clashed in the air.
The three-hour rest time passed quickly. Jiang Ning returned to his cabin again and continued to try to build Yangshen.
After so many days of groping and trying, Jiang Ning was still unable to outline the huge phantom in his consciousness, which made him not only start to wonder if he was wrong from the beginning.
"Could it be that the shadow's true body is still alive, so it can't become my Yang God?" Jiang Ning thought for a moment and felt it was impossible.
But regarding Yang Shen, there is no rumor that living people cannot be visualized.
After much thought and no clue, Jiang Ning had no choice but to decide to try again.
He sat cross-legged on the bed, closed his eyes and concentrated, and then began to outline the phantom in his consciousness.
At this moment, his mental power is like a pen dipped in thick ink, and his consciousness is like a white paper. As long as he draws the visual picture on it, he is done.
But when Jiang Ning's mental power stopped in his consciousness, he couldn't put down the pen, as if there was an irresistible force stopping him.
Jiang Ning did not believe in evil and mustered up all his strength to fight against that force.
Click!
After a while, a sound that sounded like ice cracking came in his mind, and soon after, Jiang Ning found that the huge resistance began to collapse.
He was overjoyed.
With no resistance, he can start ghost sketching.
However, when his mental power fell into his consciousness and he just started to draw an outline, a splitting headache suddenly emerged.
The explosive feeling made him unable to restrain himself from roaring.
At the same time, Jiang Ning's condensed mental power also collapsed instantly, and his consciousness was lost. He waited for a long time before he barely recovered.
But this time, there was no disappointment in his eyes.
On the contrary, Jiang Ning's face showed an ecstatic look.
"I understand, I understand, damn it, I finally know where the problem lies!"
He jumped off the bed and walked back and forth in the cabin, his face full of uncontrollable excitement.
It turned out that after the previous attempt, Jiang Ning realized that it was not that he was unable to portray the shadow, but that the shadow was too powerful and his consciousness could not bear it.
If you want to complete Yang Shen, you must take your time step by step.
For example, let’s start with those strange peaks and mountains in our visualization.
Jiang Ning just did what he said, regardless of the loss of mental strength, and started a new round of attempts.
He gave up on the terrifying phantom and started with the peak that seemed to be the weakest in the visualization. However, even the peak that seemed to be the weakest was not comparable to the strength of a half-immortal.
But the strange thing is that Jiang Ning was able to completely portray it in his consciousness.
How could he bear it!
Before Jiang Ning could be surprised, after the peaks were completely formed, he immediately felt as if he had been reborn in an instant. His body suddenly felt light, and at the same time, a majestic power emerged from his flesh, blood, and flesh.
This is a power that far exceeds his own before. Although he has not yet reached the Yangshen realm, it gives him the ability to look down on all Nascent Soul realm cultivators.
Jiang Ning looked at his palm, filled with joy.
"Just one peak has given me a qualitative leap in strength. If all the peaks are imprinted, my Yang God will be able to compete with the former Bai Yang God even without the use of phantoms!"
