Before Zhang Ning could take action, the naked snail had already jumped out and was entangled with the silver-threaded earthworm. After a few breaths, both guys disappeared, and then Zhang Ning felt the tremor in the volute space. It seemed that it was about to escalate again.

, Zhang Ning is full of expectations for the next stage of spatial changes.

In view of the last experience, when the space was upgraded, it was impossible to enter or retrieve items. Zhang Ning hurriedly transferred most of the magic weapons and materials to the storage ring before the volute space was closed, and then continued to study his trophies.

The seized storage bags had been damaged in previous battles of that level, so Zhang Ning placed his hope in the black storage ring of the Ghost Sect's sneak attack.

After trying several methods, it finally turned on.

The scene inside is like purgatory, with various bones, mutilated limbs and black clay jars filled with blood scattered throughout the space.

Zhang Ning endured the nausea and identified them. Most of them were animal remains, with only one tenth of the human remains.

This is also understandable. If the Ghost Sect really went on a killing spree, they would have been attacked by a group long ago.

It is not okay to kill mortals indiscriminately. Mortals are the foundation of monks. Under normal circumstances, the default rule of the cultivation world is that killing mortals at will is not allowed.

It can be guessed that these things are used to feed the soul-refining gourd, practice martial arts, or set up formations.

Zhang Ning was not interested in such skills and magic weapons, so he caused the ring to self-destruct.

With a slight "pop", the ring turned into black smoke and dissipated.

Zhang Ning was secretly proud that he spent a lot of money to visit the library and it was definitely worth it, and he could learn a lot of side knowledge.

At the same time, he breathed a sigh of relief. He was really afraid that the instructions he had learned were incomplete, causing the black storage ring to fail to self-destruct and spread the heavy-flavored things inside to himself. Fortunately, he succeeded. As for the several hundred kilograms of things, he did not follow them at all.

Zhang Ning doesn't care if the law of conservation of matter only destroys a trace of black smoke or is thrown into other dimensions.

The gourd was seriously damaged. Zhang Ning felt that the material was special and based on the principle of waste recycling, he temporarily threw it into his storage ring.

After that, Zhang Ning spent another two days completing the backlog of sect tasks.

The workload of inner disciples is similar to that of outer disciples, but the level is higher.

For example, among the disciples of the Divine Artifact Hall, some are responsible for refining the artifacts, some are responsible for setting up the formations and talismans for the artifacts, and some are responsible for integrating the formations (talismans) into one. The task of Zhang Ning and some new inner sect disciples is to provide

Magical instruments contain spiritual energy.

Zhang Ning believes that it is equivalent to charging the electrical appliances before leaving the factory.

Magical weapons require spiritual energy to maintain and operate. Low-level magical weapons cannot actively absorb external spiritual energy and will be damaged if they are lacking spiritual energy for a long time.

The magic weapon has the ability to actively absorb spiritual energy, and by chance, it can even give birth to weapon spirits.

After Zhang Ning completed the task, he handed the storage bag to Senior Brother Wu Xiang, who was in charge of the temple's tasks. He turned around and was about to leave when Wu Xiang said, "Junior Brother Zhang, stay here. Elder Zhen wants you to go to him and wait for instructions after you hand over the task.

"

There are only two direct disciples of Elder Zhen. Zhang Ning’s senior brother has been in seclusion in the middle stage of attacking the golden elixir. Zhang Ning has not seen him yet. Other disciples of the Artifact Hall, such as Wu Xiang, their masters are from the Artifact Hall.

Weapon masters.

Zhang Ning thanked Senior Brother Wu and came to the main hall.

Elder Zhen walked into the hall from the back hall a moment later, and Zhang Ning hurriedly saluted formally.

Elder Zhen sat in the seat and waved, and Zhang Ning felt a force lifting him up. He was flattered by this kind gesture.

Elder Zhen looked at Zhang Ning carefully for a moment and then said: "Not bad, not bad, he entered the country quickly. He is indeed the disciple I have chosen."

Zhang Ning: "..."

Elder Zhen may have remembered Zhang Ning's treatment when he came to ask for the elixir last time. He coughed lightly and continued: "Now that you have reached the realm, you can participate in the secret realm trial."

Zhang Ning was very cooperative and leaned forward slightly as if listening.

Elder Zhen continued: "On a spiritual mountain jointly controlled by more than a dozen of our sects, a very strange palace will appear every ten years. Monks above the foundation construction stage and below the golden elixir stage can enter it. In the palace

There are spiritual herbs, elixirs, and various magic weapons, and next year will be the year to start."

Seeing that Zhang Ning was listening with rapt attention, Elder Zhen continued: "Disciples of various sects can only hold special talismans to avoid being restricted by the barrier. And these talismans are distributed by the largest sect, Ziyang Sect, every ten years, but to open the secret realm

, but it requires the Ziyang Sect, Xuanming Sect, Xuanjian Sect, and Haoyue Sect to activate the secret realm token together. But every time the secret realm is opened, many monks will be lost in it, so the four major sects call all sects, large and small, to enter together.

Secret realm, share risks, otherwise, how could so many small sects participate?"

Zhang Ning thought to himself, hearing this, Elder Zhen was not very satisfied with the cake distribution.

Sure enough, Elder Zhen continued: "This time the Artifact Palace sent you to participate in this trial. With your weird magic weapons, you will definitely catch the disciples of other sects off guard... I don't care where you got these magic weapons.

, this time we must not lose the face of the Artifact Palace!" Then he looked at Zhang Ning encouragingly and said: "Go back and prepare well. You can do the next sect mission after returning from the secret realm."

Zhang Ning said hurriedly: "Disciple will definitely not let Master down!"

Then he went straight back to his house. Zhang Ning was very excited about the secret trial. I am familiar with this routine. It is a high-yield copy that drops equipment!

Zhang Ning spent the next time doing some tasks to earn crystal stones, because after he was promoted to an inner disciple, he obtained the reading rights of the upper level of the library. The rent for those books was expensive, and he needed to save up the cost of borrowing the books.

…

At dusk a month later, Zhang Ning was sitting on the couch and studying because he had consumed a lot of spiritual energy in his previous tasks.

Suddenly, he felt an oppressive feeling of impending rain. Just as he was about to get up to investigate, he saw the volute on his neck emitting a bright light, and then there was a "boom" and a bright white lightning struck the roof.

The beams of the house were split with a "squeaking" sound, and countless pieces of broken wood and tiles fell down.

Zhang Ning felt the familiar feeling of restraint and dizziness. Then, a second bolt of lightning struck straight down. Zhang Ning disappeared in the dazzling white light, and his house instantly turned into rubble.

………

When he woke up again, he found himself lying in a white space with his whole body intact.

This space covers an area of ​​seven or eight square meters, and its six sides are made of bright white rectangular stones. On the side where he is standing, there is a white pool half as high as a person, from which spring water full of spiritual energy flows.

There is a jade mirror on the wall above the pool, and the scenery inside is foggy and unclear.

There is also a chair-shaped white stone platform over one foot high next to the pool.

The largest object in this space is a large pool about one meter wide and two meters long. Half of the pool is filled with bubbles of spring water, and the spiritual energy is many times richer than that in the small pool.
Chapter completed!
