Refining the Feijian sword blank was much more difficult than simply refining the ore. It took Zhang Ning a day to purify the ore, and Liu Li was always there to guide him carefully.

Zhang Ning invited him back twice, but he was declined both times.

The other two disciples from the Weapon Refining Hall left one after another.

When only Zhang Ning and Liu Li were left here, Liu Li suddenly started to have a long chat with Zhang Ning. Zhang Ning had to stop what he was doing and listen to his chatter, and kept asking himself, was he still pretending to be cold and aloof before?

Senior Brother Liu? When did we become best friends?

Liu Li lamented that Chen was squeezed by Chief Wu, had no time to practice, and was in a slow progress situation. He hoped that Zhang Ning could be promoted as soon as possible, and it would be best to replace him as chief, so that Chief Wu could suffer some hardships.

He also "inadvertently" revealed a piece of news to Zhang Ning: his cultivation speed attracted the attention of the sect's senior officials, who intentionally promoted him.

Mr. Wu is only at the middle level of the third level of Qi Refining. He has a lot of money in this position, and he doesn't want to be snatched away by a young boy who has just started. So on the surface, he is cultivating him personally, but in fact, he is teaching him a skill.

Luekeng's refining method produces the best quality of ore, but requires the most spiritual energy. Its purpose is to make Zhang Ning spend a lot of time and spiritual energy refining the ore, hindering his cultivation.

Only then did Zhang Ning understand that it was no wonder that his own ore refining was so inefficient and that he had taken advantage of others.

But it was hard for him to raise an army to investigate the crime. Chief Wu had no clue, because the ore refined by this method was indeed purer. Now that he had reached the refining stage, he realized that the higher the purity of the primary refined ore, the higher the purity of the subsequent refining.

The easier it will be.

Therefore, Director Wu can completely say that he taught this method to lay a solid foundation for Zhang Ning, and even to defend himself whether he has merit or demerit.

But in front of Liu Li, Zhang Ning still didn't express his position clearly. He just listened or made some "um" and "oh" sounds to show that he heard it.

Seeing that Zhang Ning did not share the same hatred with the enemy, Liu Li did not look disappointed. He continued to teach Zhang Ning a few weapon refining skills before slowly leaving the ground.

As soon as Liu Li left, Zhang Ning breathed a sigh of relief.

What's going on? Why are you involved in a power struggle for no reason?

In the past, Director Wu was jealous of others who could suppress him and prevent him from improving too quickly. At that time, Liu Li acted on the same front as Director Wu. But after he broke through the shackles and reached the third level of Qi Refining, he had the possibility to challenge Director Wu. Director Wu

His attitude suddenly became friendly, and Liu Li also came to win over him.

According to his observation, Liu Li and the two disciples of the Weapon Refining Hall who just practiced here are both at the third level of Qi Refining. Those two people are not very respectful to Liu Li. They should be in a competitive relationship, and he, a beginner of Qi Refining,

Just like the three of them, as long as they advance to the middle stage of the third level, they have the possibility to replace Chief Wu.

If Zhang Ning and Chief Wu confront each other, the other three will be able to benefit, and Liu Li, the senior brother of the Weapon Refining Hall, is the most promising to stand out.

Liu Li wants to use him as a spearman!

Zhang Ning curled his lips, even though it was just a position as the head of the outer sect, it was really stressful.

This is not his ambition, and he has no interest in these power games where he fights for small positions.

It seems that the strategy of hiding clumsiness in the early days of the great masters in the cultivation literature is the best way! Making a fortune in silence is a truth summarized by many seniors! I am still too young!

Thinking of this, Zhang Ning decided to play according to the routine of cultivation literature, first improve his cultivation level. When his cultivation level is high, those things that compete for power and gain will not come to him, and then he can refine weapons to earn crystal stones! The decision has been made

, he no longer had the intention to continue refining the flying sword sword blank, so he packed up the refining materials and returned to his bamboo house.

…

The main purpose of the third level of practice is to temper the meridians. It will no longer absorb a large amount of spiritual energy as before, but will use the limited spiritual energy absorbed to further forge the meridians.

A few days later, Zhang Ning finally realized the problem of meridian endurance mentioned by Director Wu.

In online cultivation literature, there are many records of this situation. If the protagonist reaches the limit of the meridians during cultivation, he will feel tingling in the meridians.

The state of Zhang Ning's meridians at their limit was slightly different. His feeling was that if he continued to forcibly operate the technique after reaching the limit, his meridian network would collapse. After several attempts, he found that the solution was to rest for four hours before continuing.

Cultivation is shorter than the six hours mentioned in the jade slip.

Since Zhang Ning is now very poor and has a delicate relationship with Chief Wu, he cannot continue to buy crystals on credit for the elixir Tongmai Powder needed to strengthen the meridians.

He began to hope unrealistically that Mickey would bring back some jelly grass, and waited for several days like a man and a woman.

It was night, Zhang Ning poured a cup of green bamboo and was drunk while savoring the cultivation of meridians. He had nothing to do for four hours. He was afraid of Liu Li's entanglement and did not want to refine the flying sword blank for the time being, so he used this time to truly rest.

Take a look, for example, enjoy delicious food and wine, and study ancient daily necessities purchased in large quantities in snail shells.

While sipping his fourth glass of wine, he suddenly heard movement outside the window. Zhang Ning rushed over in three steps and saw a soft flesh-colored creature hanging on the window lattice.

Zhang Ning almost didn't recognize it, it was the streaking snail!

The snail trembled for a moment and then stopped moving. Zhang Ning picked up the snail and found that there were several small wounds on its body, and transparent viscous liquid was oozing out.

This guy is hurt!

Zhang Ning brought the snail into the house, put it on the dining table, and thought about how to treat it.

The snail trembled and started to move. It moved about five centimeters, stopped, rested for a while, and started moving again.

Zhang Ning didn't know what it was going to do, so he could only watch it quietly.

After squirming for half an hour, it finally came to the wine glass. It stretched out its tentacles and dipped into the wine. The green wine liquid decreased at a speed visible to the naked eye until it was completely sucked dry.

Zhang Ning thought, could it be that he had been drinking a lot recently, and the smell of wine had brought him back?

The snail looked much better after drinking wine, and its color began to turn pink... Suddenly Zhang Ning's eyes blurred, and the snail disappeared.

He hurriedly checked the snail shell hanging around his neck...there was nothing inside.

Zhang Ning did not give up. He held the snail shell and probed into his consciousness. He suddenly discovered that the snail had entered the space as a living creature and was sleeping soundly in a corner of the space!

At the same time, Zhang Ning felt that he had a clearer perception of spatial objects and could communicate with space without holding a snail shell!
