Chapter 185: On the Golden Sword Mountain [6,000-word chapter
In the blink of an eye, it is already February day when the grass is growing and the orioles are flying.
In the past two months, Qin Ziling still consumed chi meat every day for nourishment. Of course, he also took some other nourishing foods, such as purple mist rice, green mist rice, etc.
"Die Lang Gong" is water-based, so eating chili meat is actually the most suitable.
Coupled with Qin Ziling's limit-breaking qi and blood foundation, as well as Jin Sheng Shui and powerful divine soul micro-control, qi refining also has some complementary effects on martial arts.
In just two months, Qin Ziling's wave power reached its limit.
Now Qin Ziling's energy and blood power, coupled with Han Tiejing and Dielang Jin, the three powers combined into one, have almost doubled compared to when he suppressed Long Xiaotian a few years ago.
Of course, the number of black snake phantoms on the Qi Refining Road is still increasing, but very slowly. It has increased from 236 to 256. Obviously, it will take a long time to increase to 356.
Way to go.
The number of green wood phantoms has grown quite quickly, from one hundred and nine to one hundred and forty-nine, a total of forty, but it has started to slow down since then...
Obviously, the practice progress of "Green Wood Evergreen Gong" has reached a plateau stage. If you want it to improve quickly, you need to take more advanced elixirs that can enhance the wood element's true energy.
The improvement speed of the soul is still slow, but fortunately it is still improving every day, which makes Qin Ziling feel more at ease.
Because among the three realms, relatively speaking, the realm of the soul is the highest and the most illusory and mysterious. Qin Ziling did not take any elixir that specifically nourishes the soul, so its progress was within Qin Ziling's expectation.
Taken together, the progress of the three paths, especially the amazing progress in martial arts, Qin Ziling is confident that if he were to meet Long Xiaotian again now, he should be able to kill Long Xiaotian alive with just force and Qi refining techniques.
There is no need to use the soul or the silver corpse.
After the Dialang Jin reached its limit, Qin Ziling asked Xiao Qing for the "Qinglong Xuanmu Jue".
Although the "Qinglong Xuanmu Jue" technique also has some characteristics of water, it is still fundamentally of wood. Metal generates water, and water generates wood.
After practicing Dielang Jin to the limit, it is appropriate to practice "Qinglong Xuanmu Jue".
When Qin Ziling began to practice the "Qinglong Xuanmu Jue", under his guidance and daily nourishment regardless of cost, Xia Yan finally became a Huajin martial artist.
This made Qin Ziling breathe a sigh of relief.
Because Xiao Qing's upper body had completed the cowhide layer more than ten days ago, and it was much smoother and faster than expected.
In her spare time, she had mentioned to Qin Ziling several times, consciously or unconsciously, that Xia Yan's control of strength could no longer keep up with her needs.
This put a lot of pressure on Qin Ziling.
Because the "Qinglong Xuanmu Jue" technique has the attributes of water and wood, the appearance of Xiao Qing's cowhide layer is different from that of the "Cold Iron Palm Kung Fu".
The latter is really just like cowhide, while the former has the vitality and tenderness of green leaves and the smoothness of water. Not only does it not affect the beauty, but it has a very tempting taste.
Therefore, Qin Ziling really did not dare to take risks.
Fortunately, Xia Yan finally lived up to his expectations and became a Huajin martial artist at the critical moment.
When Xia Yan became a Huajin martial artist, several inner-sect brothers and sisters who had studied martial arts with Qin Ziling at Shuiyue Villa had successfully condensed their strength one after another.
These were all within Qin Ziling's expectations.
To achieve success in martial arts, there are no more than three things: one's own qualifications, the supply of external resources, and the guidance of famous teachers.
The reason why wealthy families can remain prosperous and powerful is not that the qualifications of the children of wealthy families are much better than ordinary people, but because their ancestors and predecessors have laid a solid material foundation for them, which makes them better in terms of resource supply and guidance from famous teachers. With an absolute advantage, strong men from wealthy families will continue to emerge. If everything goes well, they will grow bigger and bigger like a snowball.
Shen Xiujin and others were able to enter the inner courtyard. In fact, their qualifications were not bad at all. What was bad was the resource supply and the guidance of famous teachers.
Since the showdown between Qin Ziling and Zuo Le, the last two shortcomings have been made up for.
In terms of famous teachers, the two great Huajin martial arts masters Zheng Xinghan and Zuo Le have given personal guidance and are very dedicated. This kind of treatment is much better than that of the core disciples of the four major families in Fangshan City.
The same goes for resource supply.
Therefore, the breakthrough made by Shen Xiujin and others became a matter of course.
Compared to the breakthroughs made by Lu Taiqiang, Shen Xiujin and others, although Zuo Le, Zheng Xinghan and Shao E are constantly taking a lot of supplements, they have not yet touched the threshold of bone refining.
The progress of Zuo Le and the three others was also within Qin Ziling's expectations.
After all, the master of bone refining can be regarded as a top-notch expert in the entire Xiyun Prefecture, not to mention in Fangshu City. The threshold of bone refining is naturally not so easy to reach.
Even if they even touch it, most people will only get to this point after a lifetime of hard work.
Because most of them don’t have the secret bone-refining elixir, even if they do, it’s usually either a secret elixir like the “Nine-turn Blood Essence Strengthening Bone Secret Pill” or a secret elixir made from the flesh and blood of fourth-grade lower-level alien beasts. The success rate is very low.
In other words, because Qin Ziling has Hua Chi in hand, as long as Shao'e and the others touch the threshold of bone refining, there is great hope for bone refining.
That's why Qin Ziling is paying special attention to the progress of the three of them now.
Once a great bone-refining martial artist appears under his account, not only can Qin Ziling be able to leave many things to them, but the base camp in Fang Licheng will be truly stable.
Qin Ziling now has the capital to move forward and retreat freely.
"It's not a hurry, it's not a hurry!"
Sitting cross-legged behind the screen, listening to the sound of "bang bang bang" palms hitting from time to time in the cave, thinking about the changes and progress in the past few days since returning from the land of dragon veins, Qin Ziling shook his head with a smile, and then slowly Slowly close your eyes and perform the "Qinglong Xuanmu Kung".
What the strength condenses is one's own qi and blood. Every time one's strength is condensed, a point of qi and blood must be replenished in time.
Considering the supply of qi and blood, when it comes to condensing strength, one can only do one exercise at a time. It cannot be done at the same time as water and wood like qi refining, because qi refining takes in the five elements of heaven and earth. spirit.
The energy of the five elements of heaven and earth is inexhaustible and will not have any impact on the body.
…
In the blink of an eye, another two months have passed, and April is already in season.
At this time, Xisheng Mountain was lush and lush everywhere.
In the cave, behind the screen, Qin Ziling is still practicing the "Qinglong Xuanmu Kung Fu".
Qin Ziling only practiced the "Folding Waves Technique" for just two months before condensing the "Folding Waves Strength" to the limit.
But when it comes to "Qinglong Xuanmu Kung", the progress has obviously slowed down.
In the same two months, the progress of Qinglong Xuanmu Jin was at least half slower than that of Dielang Jin, and the speed also tended to slow down.
But this is already much better than Qin Ziling imagined.
Originally, he only had one kind of strength: Hantiejin.
In just four months, he now has three kinds of strength, and the total amount of comprehensive strength is more than twice the original.
This was a result he had never imagined before.
Originally, he thought that it would take a long way to reach the master-level combat power and hunt down the fifth-grade exotic beasts. But now it seems that his sudden idea of condensing strength in martial arts many years ago made him take a shortcut.
, is expected to be on par with the Grandmaster in the near future, and even have the ability to kill fifth-grade exotic beasts.
Therefore, Qin Ziling is not anxious at all now.
Run the "Qinglong Xuanmu Kung" slowly and slowly, condensing the Qi and blood into Qinglong Xuanmu Jin little by little.
"when!"
While Qin Ziling was running the "Qinglong Xuanmu Kung", a crisp sound of metal clashing came from outside.
"Miss, you succeeded!"
Then Qin Ziling heard Xia Yan's voice of surprise again.
"Succeeded?" Qin Ziling immediately stopped practicing after hearing this and walked out of the screen.
I saw Xiao Qing standing upright in the middle of the cave, as if he was wearing a piece of blue dragon scale armor, with an indescribable heroic appearance.
"I didn't expect you to succeed so quickly!" Qin Ziling said with great surprise when he saw that Xiao Qing had successfully tempered his limbs and main torso.
"Yes, it worked!" Xiao Qing gently touched the hard skin on her body that was like dragon scales, and her emotions surged.
For this day, she walked twice before and after the gate of hell!
The first trip was forced, while the latter trip was proactive and more dangerous.
Now it seems that these two trips to hell were not in vain!
"Next, do you want to continue to exercise other parts, or are you preparing to condense your strength?" Qin Ziling asked.
"No, I feel that my torso is already my limit. It would be a waste of time to try other parts. Let's start building up our strength today!" Xiao Qing replied.
After Xiao Qing said this, his energy and blood began to converge.
The skin like the scales of a green dragon rippled like water ripples, and then just like Xiao Qing took off the scales on her body, revealing skin as smooth and tender as gelatin.
"This..." Qin Ziling didn't expect that a woman could take off her "clothes" automatically without using her hands.
It was obviously the first time for Xiao Qing, so he didn't expect this.
When she came to her senses, she found Qin Ziling's eyes staring intently at her.
Xiao Qing couldn't help being shocked, but she quickly took the clothes handed over by Xia Yan calmly.
"Brother, can I put on my clothes now?" Xiao Qing held the clothes, winked at Qin Ziling, and asked.
Qin Ziling turned around, slowly closed his eyes in pain, and then waved his hand behind him.
Women’s psychology is so strong that sometimes it is a huge test for men!
Xiao Qing looked at Qin Ziling's back with a happy smile on her lips.
Qin Ziling is too powerful and has endless tricks. This is the only time Xiao Qing can see his weak side.
Xiao Qing quickly put on her clothes, then walked around to Qin Ziling, smiled sweetly at him and said, "Brother, I'm fine. Now you can start to gather your strength."
Qin Ziling looked at Xiao Qing with a sweet smile on his face, secretly shook off the images in his mind that were not suitable for children, and asked: "Don't you need to get familiar with it?"
"Brother, have you forgotten that I was once a Huajin martial artist?" Xiao Qing asked without answering.
"Yes, then prepare to gather your strength." Qin Ziling nodded.
"Yeah!" Xiao Qing nodded, then took out a ceramic jar from the bag.
This is the last bone-refining secret medicine of the Xiao family. It is made from the flesh and blood of fourth-grade lower-level alien beasts with wood attributes. It is most suitable for the Xiao family's disciples who practice "Qinglong Xuanmu Kung" to use for bone refining.
But now it is only enough for Xiao Qing to re-concentrate her strength.
If he couldn't regain his strength with this secret medicine, Xiao Qing might have no choice but to take the risk and use Chi's flesh and blood.
No matter how mild the Chi Flesh and Blood medicine is, its efficacy is almost as good as that of a fifth-grade exotic beast. It is still somewhat risky to use it for Xiao Qing to strengthen his energy.
Furthermore, condensing energy and refining bones are two different realms, and the secret medicine used also needs to have a different level.
After consuming Chi's blood and flesh in advance, Xiao Qing's secret bone-refining medicine in the later period is likely to be a problem again.
…
Two hours later.
A stream of air lingered around Xiao Qing.
This airflow is getting faster and thicker.
Then it quickly condensed into a five-foot-long, thick azure dragon phantom with gleaming blue scales, two horns on its head, and five claws on its belly.
This green dragon is alive and exuding great majesty, and it seems to be both an illusion and reality.
A low and majestic dragon roar sounded in the cave, and then the green dragon coiled around Xiao Qing soared into the sky, and then spread out its five claws to grab Qin Ziling.
Qin Ziling smiled faintly when he saw this, raised his sword in his hand, and slashed at the green dragon from the air.
The powerful air flow rushed out, forming a door-sized shadow of a giant sword in the air, emitting cold light, and fell towards Qinglong.
"Dang!" There was a loud noise.
The five claws of Qinglong were cut off directly. Qinglong wailed and tumbled in the air, turning into billowing air and being taken back by Xiao Qing.
"This!" Xiao Qing had a complicated look on her face when she saw Qin Ziling kill the green dragon that he had transformed into with one strike of his sword.
"Don't be discouraged, you are actually very good!" Qin Ziling stepped forward, patted Xiao Qing's shoulder, and comforted her with "sincere words."
Xiao Qing glared at Qin Ziling fiercely when he heard this, but soon laughed happily.
Qin Ziling also laughed when he saw this.
"Although I am still much weaker than you in strength now, I am still much more powerful than before. In the past, my strength could only compete with ordinary early bone refining masters, but now I am confident that even if Pang Qiwei personally
Come on, I can suppress him and fight. So from now on, eldest brother doesn’t have to guard me here." Soon, Xiao Qing stopped laughing and said with confidence.
"Okay, I just need to leave here to do something recently. You and Xia Yan will stay here for a while. Don't be in a hurry to refine your bones. You can practice the 'Qinglong Xuanmu Strength' to the limit first, and wait until you can no longer move forward.
After that, try to condense the 'Die Lang Jin'." Qin Ziling said.
"Two kinds of strength? Is this okay?" Xiao Qing looked shocked.
"How would you know if you haven't tried it? Your current foundation is very solid. After two times of tempering and testing of Sanjin, your mind and mind have become very firm and strong. As water and wood are in harmony, your Xiao family's 'Qinglong Xuanmu Jin' already contains some
Due to the attributes of water, if you try to condense the 'Die Lang Jin' again, the probability of success should be very high.
Of course, this will definitely delay your cultivation progress, but I have a lot of good supplements here, and using them to condense your strength should be able to make up for a lot of time delays," Qin Ziling said.
Xiao Qing did not speak when he heard this, but just lowered his head and thought deeply.
After a long time, Xiao Qing made a decision.
"Brother, everyone has their own way of practice. I am different from you. I have limited talents. I have to go through the gate of hell twice for the iron skin of my limbs and torso. But I won't be so lucky every time in the future, so I
I think I can no longer be greedy or distracted, but forge ahead on the same path and move forward courageously!" Xiao Qing said with a firm gaze.
Qin Ziling was greatly shocked when he heard this, lowered his head and remained silent.
Along the way, he cultivated the soul, practiced martial arts, practiced Qi, and even practiced corpse refining.
Not only that, in the way of refining qi and martial arts, we are not only pursuing the limit, but also pursuing the five elements.
According to Xiao Qing, he is simply super greedy and distracted!
"Have I taken the wrong path? Am I too greedy and too distracted? No, since God allowed me to be reborn, since I merged two and a half souls from the beginning, I can multi-task from the beginning.
From the beginning, the way of the soul has reached the state of expelling objects, and it can control three bronze corpses from the beginning...
Then the path that is strong and complete is my path! Others cannot and do not have the confidence to take such a path, but I can do it! Even though I am covered in iron, I can still do it with five kinds of strength and five kinds of true power!"
But soon, the wavering in Qin Ziling's heart turned into determination.
"You're right, everyone has his or her own path, so just follow your path and continue on firmly!" Qin Ziling slowly raised his head and looked at Xiao Qing calmly and said.
"good."
"However, you'd better wait until you become a great bone-refining martial artist before going out. With your foundation, you will definitely be able to leapfrog the bone-refining stage and become a great martial artist in the mid-stage bone refining stage." Qin Ziling nodded.
"I think so too!" Xiao Qing nodded, her eyes filled with anticipation.
…
One day later, at the foot of Jinjian Mountain, a man with two beards on his lips, a small beard on his chin, and an inconspicuous scar on his left cheek was standing at the entrance to the mountain, holding the hand of a little boy.
The man with the mustache is naturally Qin Ziling, and the little boy is Zuo Cong.
Beside them, there were two men wearing gray Taoist robes with a golden sword embroidered on their sleeves.
These two men are disciples of the mountain guard at Jinjian Pass.
Qin Ziling and Zuo Cong were stopped by them as soon as they arrived.
Qin Ziling gave them a beast-hiding bag and asked them to convey "An old friend is visiting" to Feng Ziluo. Then he and Zuo Cong waited patiently at the entrance of the mountain.
The main peak of Jinjian Mountain is Jinjian Peak, which is as high as a thousand feet, like a giant sword thrust into the sky.
There are green pines and cypresses everywhere on the mountain, waterfalls and flowing springs. There are ancient Taoist temples among the ancient cypress and pine forests halfway up the mountain. On the top of the mountain, there stands a huge palace with a huge square in front of the palace.
On the top of the mountain, clouds and mist linger, and the palace is looming, refracting golden light in the sun, just like the fairy palace where the gods live in the legend.
Standing at the foot of the mountain and looking up at Jinjian Peak, you can't help but feel awe and longing for it.
"Master, is this the place where I will learn Taoism in the future?" Zuo Cong looked up at Jinjian Peak, with a look of anticipation and yearning in his eyes.
"That's right." Qin Ziling touched Zuo Cong's little head.
Just as Qin Ziling finished speaking, a melodious bell rang on the top of the mountain, echoing among the mountains.
Then, there was the sound of a crane chirping, and three white dots on the top of the mountain burst into the sky, and then shot towards the bottom of the mountain like arrows.
The white dot got bigger and bigger, and by the time it reached a place tens of meters above Qin Ziling and Zuo Cong, it had turned into a giant crane with wings spread about ten meters wide and its golden crown shining brightly in the sun.
The giant crane among them is riding a man in white, with his back erect, like a sword or a spear. It is Feng Ziluo, the contemporary leader of the Golden Sword Sect.
Riding on the giant cranes on the left and right are an old man wearing a blue Taoist robe and holding a whisk in his hand. He is between sixty and seventy years old and looks like an immortal.
"Master, you are an immortal!" Zuo Cong couldn't help but his eyes widened when he saw Feng Ziluo and three others flying down from the sky on giant cranes.
The disciples on duty at Yamaguchi also widened their eyes when they saw the three golden-crowned cranes swooping down, with the sect master and two elders sitting on their backs.
In their impression, the sect master had not personally gone down the mountain to greet guests for many years.
"Sure enough, packaging is very important. Riding a strange bird will instantly upgrade you to an immortal. No wonder so many people are trying so hard to become a disciple of Qi Refining Dao."
Qin Ziling secretly curled his lips in disapproval, but he was quite satisfied with Feng Ziluo personally riding a crane and leading people to greet him.
The golden-crowned crane flapped its wings, creating a storm, and then landed on the ground.
Feng Ziluo and the two elders flew down from the golden-crowned crane.
"Brother Qin is here, and we welcome you from afar!" Feng Ziluo bowed to Qin Ziling and saluted. He was always cold and arrogant, but a rare smile appeared on his face.
The two elders who came down to greet the guests bowed and saluted together, and their old eyes that seemed to be dim suddenly became as sharp as swords, as if they wanted to see Qin Ziling thoroughly.
It's just that these two elders are only in the late stage of true power, and Qin Ziling's level of Qi refining is not inferior to them. Moreover, his soul is powerful and he can control the magic power of his body to a very low level. How can they see through it?
"Brother Feng, you're welcome!" Qin Ziling returned the greeting with Zuo Cong.
"Who is this?" Feng Ziluo's eyes quickly fell on Zuo Cong.
"This is my disciple Zuo Cong. I came to the Golden Sword Sect this time mainly for him." Qin Ziling said.
"It turns out to be Senior Nephew Zuo!" Feng Ziluo nodded, and then said: "Brother Qin, this is not the place to talk. Please come up the mountain with me."
"Okay." Qin Ziling nodded.
"Elder Fang, please take a group of nephew Zuo." Feng Ziluo ordered an elder on the left.
"Can you let me and Zuo Cong ride a big crane together? It will save Elder Fang the trouble." Qin Ziling said with a smile before Elder Fang could answer.
He wasn't used to riding a big bird with a big man!
"How can this be done!" Before Feng Ziluo could answer, Elder Fang had already spoken quickly: "This golden-crowned crane is a third-grade exotic bird. It has a pair of sharp claws that can penetrate golden cave stones. It can even pick up tigers and black bears and tear them alive.
It is cracked and extremely fierce. Even though it has been tamed and raised by our Golden Sword Sect since childhood, in the Golden Sword Sect, only elders like us at the late stage of true power can ride it."
"Brother Qin, what Elder Fang said is true. This golden-crowned crane is fierce and aggressive by nature. It is only because our Golden Sword Sect has the secret method of taming that we can raise some for riding. Although Brother Qin is quite powerful, after all..." Feng
Ziluo took the words and said.
"Brother Feng, don't worry, I think I should be able to control a third-grade exotic bird." Qin Ziling interrupted lightly.
Seeing that Elder Fang had told him so well and the sect master also reminded him specifically, Qin Ziling still didn't believe him. He couldn't help but feel a little annoyed at his arrogance, so he pointed at the golden-crowned crane he was riding and said, "Then, fellow Taoist Qin, go and try it first."
Let's give it a try and see if there is any way to ride it. Fellow Taoist Qin, you should be worried, this beast is very ferocious. If there is no poor man around, it will definitely attack if a stranger approaches."
"Master!" Zuo Cong was worried when he heard this and quickly grabbed Qin Ziling's sleeve.
Qin Ziling smiled, picked up Zuo Cong, and said, "Let's see how I can help you tame this golden-crowned crane."
After saying that, Qin Ziling took Zuo Cong into the air, stepped on the void, and flew towards the golden-crowned crane.
When the golden-crowned crane saw Qin Ziling flying down towards its back with Zuo Cong, its eyes turned fierce, it let out a crane chirp, and pecked Qin Ziling with its long and pointed beak.
