Murong's little thoughts were not noticed by outsiders.
Through many experiments, Murong has discovered that the concealment of the Qiankun Ring is ridiculously strong. Even if the Qiankun Ring is activated and searching for people, it will not emit any spiritual energy fluctuations.
If it weren't for the fact that the mana in his body would continue to be consumed every time he activated the Qiankun Ring, Murong even suspected that the Qiankun Ring was not driven by spiritual energy at all, but by some mysterious force that did not belong to the world of cultivation.
Murong had such an unconventional idea because she once heard Mr. Yang say that spiritual energy is not the only source of power in the world. Water power, wind power, sunlight, and firewood can actually provide power for humans. Even if there are things more powerful than spiritual energy.
More advanced energy forms are not impossible, and maybe the so-called fairy power is one of them.
Although Murong didn't quite understand what he said, Mr. Yang's words definitely made sense.
When she was at the Qingning Chamber of Commerce, she followed Mr. Yang to make many so-called "scientific instruments", such as two slopes with different slopes but the same height, or transparent glass columns filled with mercury. Although these scientific instruments ended up
All proved useless, but she still learned a lot of cool knowledge that she had never thought of before.
The more things he saw and heard in the Wuliang Sword Sect, the more thoroughly Murong understood the knowledge taught by Yang Lu back then, and the more he felt that Mr. Yang's wisdom could be described as unfathomable.
Before coming to the Qingning Chamber of Commerce, Murong thought that cultivators were all knowledgeable beings like Mr. Yang. Even after seeing Miss Li Qingning, she only thought that Li Qingning was an alien among cultivators. However, she fought with the disciples of the Wuliang Sword Sect.
After interacting with him, she discovered that Mr. Yang's perspective on problems was simply not comparable to that of ordinary cultivators.
The most typical example is the management system.
When she heard Yang Lu talk about the shortcomings of the Wuliang Sword Sect's management system in the past, Murong didn't feel it clearly, but after joining the Wuliang Sword Sect, she suddenly discovered that the Wuliang Sword Sect was really a grassroots team.
When big figures like Lin Jianxing, Cheng Shuying, and Mo Yunlan fight for power, it is actually no different from the Haiya City newsboy group forming gangs to fight for territory.
It's just that their fists are bigger and the consequences of a fight will be more serious.
After being baptized by Yang Lu's thoughts, these legendary big shots had long been disenchanted in Murong's eyes. It was precisely because of this that she dared to secretly do small tricks under Lin Jianxing's nose. If it were Wuliang who was born in an ordinary small place,
A disciple of the Sword Sect who is in the Qi Refining Stage, after picking up the Qiankun Ring, will probably have to hand it over to the sect as soon as possible to express his loyalty.
You must know that Lin Jianxing's status in Zhongzhou is much higher than that of the emperor of the earth. How many ordinary people can be honest after meeting the leader of their country, and even try to deceive the other party in turn?
Moreover, Murong's personality is obviously much more reserved than Li Qingning's, and she is naturally suited to hiding secrets in her heart. Even if she complains wildly in her heart, she will not show it on her face.
After all, Mr. Yang once taught her to be a low-key person, do things in a high-profile manner, and try not to talk nonsense if it is not beneficial, because the most unbelievable thing in the world is that your colleagues keep secrets for you...
Thinking of this, Murong wanted to see Mr. Yang even more.
I don't know why, but only when facing Mr. Yang, Murong dared to speak out his thoughts without any scruples.
Pretending to glance at Lin Jianxing as if nothing had happened, the leader of the Wuliang Sword Sect did not notice anything strange about her. Judging from the fact that it can hide the spiritual consciousness of the Yuanying Stage monks, the wonder of the Qiankun Ring is evident!
Noticing Murong's gaze, Lin Jianxing thought she was worried about the upcoming extraterritorial battlefield, and then comforted him: "You don't have to worry. Although you are a disciple of the Holy Spiritual Root, the situation in the extraterritorial battlefield this time is different. Not only are there two other
There is a disciple of the Holy Spiritual Root of the Seven Great Sects, and there is a more eye-catching target. With me supporting you, there won’t be many people specifically targeting you. As long as you act cautiously and don’t make a fuss about the limelight, you won’t
What danger could there be?"
Murong knew that the target that Lin Jianxing mentioned as attracting the most hatred was Li Qingning.
The currency reform of the Third Lingshi Financial Crisis caused countless monks of the sect to go bankrupt. For cultivators with long lifespans, five hundred years is not enough to wear away this bloody hatred. This hatred was only destroyed by the three ascended immortals.
There are also vested interest groups represented by the Wuliang Sword Sect, which use their absolute power to suppress them, but they have never disappeared.
Now Li Qingyang has exhausted his lifespan and died, and Li Qingning has entered the lawless battlefield outside the territory. Without Lin Jianxing's protection, this hatred will definitely tear Li Qingning into pieces.
However, Lin Jianxing, the leader of Zhongzhou's cultivation world, not only did not arrange any manpower to protect Li Qingning, he did not even come forward on behalf of the Wuliang Sword Sect to warn Song Qingshan and Lu Youde, Li Qingyang's big enemies on the surface.
Fighting attitude.
Murong knew that Lin Jianxing did this because he was considering letting Li Qingning attract firepower for him.
However, the acquiescence attitude of the Wuliang Sword Sect undoubtedly allowed Li Qingyang's enemies to connect with each other and become more unscrupulous.
Murong believed that since she could see the danger of Li Qingning, there was no reason why Mr. Yang couldn't see it. And with Mr. Yang's character, he would find a way to save Miss Qingning no matter what.
In this case, she must find them!
However, Murong's ability to hide her emotions was so much better than that of Li Qingning. Lin Jianxing beside her didn't even know that her direct disciple ignored his advice and was already planning to take the initiative to wade into troubled waters.
At the same time, Yang Lu also turned his attention to the location of the Mountain Eagle Faction again. Looking at the time, he found that it was still a while before the start of the extraterritorial battlefield, so Yang Lu took the initiative to find Chen Ming, the leader of the Mountain Eagle Faction.
Seeing that Yang Lu wanted to talk to him about something, Chen Ming quickly dismissed everyone, cast a soundproof spell, and then took the initiative to say: "Counselor Yang, I heard that you want to participate in this extraterritorial battlefield trial?"
Yang Lu did not deny it, but nodded and confirmed: "I didn't expect that such a trivial matter would reach Master Chen!"
"This is no small matter!" Chen Ming had a good impression of Yang Lu, so he warned in a low voice, "I know that you and Li Qingning have a deep relationship. But to put it bluntly, even if Li Qingning died on the battlefield outside the territory, I'm afraid it would still have an impact.
Without your business status in Zhongzhou, the Qingning Chamber of Commerce will naturally be handed over to you, and everyone will still recognize your identity as the heir to President Li Qingyang. There is no need to act on emotion, because a woman can do this..."
Chen Ming and Yang Lu have no real conflict of interest, so this advice can be regarded as coming from the bottom of their hearts.
However, Yang Lu was unmoved and said: "I accept Master Chen's good intentions, but I have to go to this foreign battlefield no matter what! It's just that as an elder of your sect, I hope that the disciples of the Shanying sect will be able to
Please help me!”
Chen Ming didn't expect Yang Lu to make such a request.
He shook his head with a wry smile and refused directly: "We, the Shanying Sect, are a small family, so I'm afraid we can't help the Qingning Chamber of Commerce!"
"Master Chen is too humble!" Faced with Chen Ming's refusal, Yang Lu didn't take it seriously at all, but pointed at Ye Chen in the distance, "Others won't tell you, but you have such a powerful general as Daoyou Ye under your command!
"
However, Chen Ming put on a helpless look and said: "I will be outside, and I will not accept your orders! Even if I am the leader of the Mountain Eagle Sect, I cannot arbitrarily restrict the actions of my disciples on the battlefield outside the territory."
"That's not necessarily the case!" Yang Lu pointed at Ye Chen again and said as if he meant something, "I am also an audience at the Zhongzhou Sword Discussion Conference, and I don't believe that Master Chen has no means to manipulate Fellow Daoist Ye!
"
Upon hearing this, Chen Ming's expression changed drastically.
If his vicious methods of controlling Ye Chen were exposed, it would definitely be the biggest scandal for the Mountain Eagle Sect in recent years. Yang Lu suddenly mentioned this matter at this critical moment. Could it be that... he had seen through the secret of sharing weal and woe?
Chen Ming took a deep breath and forced himself to calm down: "Consultant Yang is joking, how can I have the means you mentioned?"
Unexpectedly, Yang Lu did not continue to pursue the matter.
He said as if nothing had happened: "Since Master Chen said so, let's forget it! But if I ask for help from your disciples in the name of Elder Keqing on the battlefield outside the territory, please Master Chen not to blame!"
Although Chen Ming didn't know why Yang Lu raised this matter high and let it go, he still followed Yang Lu's words and politely said: "I can't restrict my disciple's actions on the battlefield outside the territory, but if Advisor Yang can convince
I sent my disciples to take the initiative to help, and as the leader, I naturally won’t have any objections!”
"Your words are enough!"
After greeting Chen Ming, Yang Lu turned around and left.
But when passing by Ye Chen, Yang Lu gave Ye Chen a meaningful look.
This move immediately confused Ye Chen.
He only saw Consultant Yang and Head Chen pointing at him for a long time, and he didn't know what they said in private to him. Then he saw that Head Chen Ming's face was uncertain for a while, and now Yang Lu ran away again.
He came over and gave himself a meaningful look, as if he should understand what he meant -
But the problem is...
He didn't know what Yang Lu meant!
If it were before, Ye Chen would definitely ask Chen Ming what Yang Lu just said.
However, ever since Chen Ming used the Shared Wealth and Suffering Gu to forcibly torture him at the Zhongzhou Sword Discussion Conference, an invisible rift developed between Ye Chen and Chen Ming. From then on, Chen Ming would intentionally or unintentionally avoid Ye Chen when talking about things.
Ye Chen could naturally feel the change in Chen Ming's attitude.
Although he could completely understand why Chen Ming wanted him to be humiliated by Ren Yi at the Zhongzhou Sword Discussion Conference, emotionally it was still difficult for him to accept his master's betrayal of him, and he was already vaguely dissatisfied with Chen Ming in his heart.
.
Therefore, seeing Yang Lu's clueless hint, Ye Chen just kept his doubts silently in his heart and did not tell Chen Ming.
And Yang Lu also saw the contradiction between the two, so he deliberately came over to sow discord.
Since the two of them already had a grudge in their hearts, even if Chen Ming told him that Yang Lu just came over to say a few polite words to him and it was nothing special, Ye Chen probably wouldn't buy it easily.
After all, the life-and-death extraterritorial battlefield is about to begin. You told me that Yang Lu just came to chat with you? Whether Chen Ming believes it or not, Ye Chen must have a question mark in his heart!
After Yang Lu said goodbye to Chen Ming, he went to greet Elder Han Xinhe again.
After all, during the absence of Yang Lu and Li Qingning, the Qingning Chamber of Commerce's business had to be taken care of by Han Xinhe.
As the staunchest ally of the Qingning Chamber of Commerce, Elder Han clearly opposed Yang Lu's adventures in foreign battlefields. He didn't even want Li Qingning to participate in the trial. However, Yang Lu's attitude was very firm and the two almost had a quarrel on the spot.
Although many disciples of the Haiya Sect could not hear what the two of them were talking about, they were attracted by their lively conversation.
Of course, Yang Lu also asked Elder Han as usual if he could use the Haiya Sect's guest token to drive the Haiya Sect disciples. Elder Han made it clear that you'd better not seek death like this, just with your mere Qi Refining Four.
With a high level of cultivation, let alone a guest from the Haiya Sect, even if you are the president of the Lingshi Reserve Bank, everyone will not be able to help but cut you off in exchange for merit.
Just when Han Xinhe wanted to continue to persuade Yang Lu not to be impulsive, a late-stage Jindan monk from the Wuliang Sword Sect suddenly appeared out of the crowd.
This person's name is Wen Tong, and he is a monk of the Infinite Sword Sect's Internal Affairs Hall. Just by looking at his last name, you can tell that this person is from the same cultivation family as the Supreme Elder Wen Hanqing, the leader of the Infinite Sword Sect's Internal Affairs Hall, and they are distant relatives.
After Li Feiyu, a non-sectarian, defected, Wen Hanqing, the Supreme Elder of the Wuliang Sword Sect, who was the most influential in the faction, sent his golden elixir monks to organize his disciples to participate in extraterritorial battlefield trials, which was obviously the most suitable choice.
I saw Wen Tong flying into the air with the escape light, urging the lion to roar and announcing: "The ancient immortal formation will be activated soon. Please all monks from all sects to stand back to their positions. If you violate it, you will be responsible for the consequences!"
As soon as these words came out, Han Xinhe could no longer block Yang Lu.
After turning around and returning to the original place, Yang Lu also held Li Qingning's hand again. Before he could comfort the eldest lady for a few words, he felt the ground suddenly tremble under his feet.
Immediately afterwards, a white halo unique to the power of the fairy suddenly appeared on the surface of the nameless hill. It was not as stable as the light of ordinary spiritual energy, but was constantly surging like a wave. At the same time, the space around the fairy formation
They all seem to be distorted by some special force, giving people the illusion that this space is "folding".
If the original three-dimensional universe was like a flat canvas, then now, this canvas seems to have been kneaded by some force that does not belong to the picture itself. As the distortion of the space becomes more and more intense, the surrounding people
The "three-dimensional canvas" was finally torn into pieces, revealing a chaotic world of chaotic light and shadow.
This spectacular sight made Yang Lu involuntarily think of the four-dimensional space depicted in "Interstellar".
Feeling the violent spiritual energy fluctuations in the surrounding space and the fragmented space, Yang Lu gently squeezed Li Qingning's weak and boneless palm and said softly: "Miss, the trial is about to begin, you must wait carefully.
I!"
Li Qingning did not answer, but squeezed Yang Lu's palm hard.
At the same time, Lin Jianxing, the leader of the Infinite Sword Sect, also looked at the chaotic space around the immortal formation, and said to himself: "The completely controlled Infinite Sea of Void, this is probably the true power of the ascended immortal... Every time I see it
I can't help but wonder about the true form of the Infinite Sea of Void, is this really a power that monks like us can master through practice?"
Wen Tong, who had just announced that the ancient immortal formation was about to be activated, had already landed next to Lin Jianxing.
After hearing Lin Jianxing's emotion, Wen Tong wondered: "How can this be false? Didn't the three ascended immortals show their supreme power to control the boundless sea in front of us back then?"
Lin Jianxing couldn't help but smile bitterly and said: "Having said that, let alone ascending in a day, even cultivating to the tenth level of Nascent Soul is an opportunity that is rare for us. I am afraid that my remaining life span is not enough.
Already..."
Wen Tong was very open-minded and said with a casual expression: "How many monks have been able to attain the Great Dao through the ages? Even if there are geniuses like Bo Nanke, they are still trapped in the realm of Yuanying Dzogchen, exhausted and depressed.
And the end. As the saying goes, there are times in life that must come to an end, but there is no time in life, so don’t force it. Master Lin, you are still too persistent sometimes!"
Lin Jianxing sighed quietly: "I'm not too persistent, I'm really unwilling to give in!"
