Chapter 23 The Ancient Chen of the Two Heroes of the Ancient Clan
Ziji Sword Sect.
A low scream suddenly came from a house where servants lived.
Li Kezhou was sweating all over his body, his face was pale, and his whole body was limp on the bed as if he had lost all strength.
After a long while, he regained some strength and slowly sat up cross-legged.
"No! My current body, although it has been shaped by the Cangjiao bloodline runes, is ultimately different from the Cangjiao's innate body and is simply not strong enough to support the completion of the Nielong bloodline runes!"
He frowned.
Just now, he took the blood-producing bone-building pill, trying to use the power of the elixir to help him carve out the dragon pattern in one fell swoop, but the result was that his thinking was too simple.
Carving the dragon pattern into the body is a process of breaking and then building. This process requires the support of a large amount of medicinal power. Just a blood-producing bone-building pill will not be enough.
"After a life of nine deaths, I finally obtained the dragon mark and acquired the spiritual power I should have. I didn't expect that there would be this chasm in the end. My body is simply not strong enough to support the dragon mark. Unless there is a huge amount of medicinal power to continuously treat the body.
repair."
"Judging from the potency of the blood-producing and bone-building elixir just now, it must be at least ten thousand times, or even one hundred thousand times more powerful than this elixir to help me complete the carving and achieve the body of a great dragon! But with such a huge potency, the
Where can I find it? I believe that even with the power of the Purple Sword Sect, it would be very difficult to do it..."
Just as he was thinking hard, there was a sudden sound of footsteps outside the door.
"Sir! Are you there?"
"Bingyue! Come in and talk about something!"
Bingyue opened the door and came in with a sad look on her face.
"What happened? Why are you looking like this? Is someone bullying you? Tell me and I will help you vent your anger. I will beat you until you don't even know your mother!"
Bingyue burst into tears and smiled: "Young master is really good at joking. I am very good in the inner sect, and the elders also value me very much. No one bullies me."
"Oh? What worries you?" Li Kezhou looked confused.
"It's Gu Yin!"
"Gu Yin? Has this guy caused any trouble again?" Li Kezhou frowned slightly.
"Sir, I'm afraid you have forgotten that next month will be the Battle of Tianchi Medicine Spring. I just heard the news that my Ziji Sword Sect's three quotas for participating in the battle have been confirmed by Gu Yin before the internal competition has started."
"Tianchi Medicine Spring! Yes, how could I forget this?"
Li Kezhou was overjoyed and stood up, clapped his legs.
"Sir, what's wrong with you?" Bingyue looked confused.
Li Kezhou immediately asked: "Bingyue, do you know when the competition for the remaining two places will begin?"
Bingyue nodded: "It is said that it is the day after tomorrow."
"But everyone knows that even if the last two places are decided, it is nothing more than a foil. Tianchi Medicine Spring allows a total of four people to enter, and there are three major sword sects participating. All those participating in the battle are from the ninth level of Qi Refining of each sect.
Among the top masters, only Gu Yin has a chance to compete, and the others will go in vain."
Li Kezhou's eyes were blazing and he nodded repeatedly.
Bingyue was a little surprised when she saw her young master like this: "Sir, you don't want to..."
Li Kezhou smiled confidently: "Since it is a competition, naturally everyone has their own methods. This Tianchi Medicine Spring is very important to me, and I must participate."
"But... all the people participating in the war are without exception masters of the ninth level of Qi refining. The purpose of these people participating in the war is to use the medicinal spring to break through the pill condensation!"
"Of course I know this, don't worry, I have my own plan for this matter." Li Kezhou thought thoughtfully.
Seeing how determined he was, Bingyue also knew that she could not possibly persuade the young master to give up on his decision, so she could only choose to remain silent and no longer dissuade him.
"The day after tomorrow! During this period, I can't waste time, I have to continue to practice my Ding Sword Art."
He had previously practiced the Ding Sword Technique to the level of "sword picking six tripods", but as he reached this level, he seemed to have hit some kind of bottleneck, and his subsequent cultivation had slowed down greatly.
Time comes on the third day.
I don't know whether it was the blood-producing and bone-building pill he took that had its effect, or whether it was because things came naturally, but Li Kezhou successfully practiced the Ding Sword Technique to the point of using the Seven Cauldrons with Sword Picking.
But this time, he felt more and more that his body was already at its limit. Unless he achieved the body of a great dragon, it would be impossible for him to practice the Nine Cauldrons with Swordsmanship as recorded in the records.
…
Ziji Sword Sect.
Sword acting stage.
Although "Tianchi Medicine Spring" is not as famous as "Jinghu Sword Theory", this grand event has an advantage in time. It happens once every ten years. Therefore, this internal competition of the Sword Sect still attracts the attention of Jianzong.
The gazes of the disciples of the sect.
The five-meter-high sword-playing stage was already crowded with people.
On the stage, two people were fighting.
"I was also disappointed to see Gu Yin take action in this competition for quotas. Gu Yin actually got one of the three quotas without fighting."
"This is reasonable. Gu Yin is the number one master of our sword sect under the Dan Condensation stage. This name is not called out casually. Competition is a waste of time. Just give him one. Anyway, everyone can be convinced.
.”
"That's true! If nothing else happens, Gu Yin will definitely have a place in this battle between the three sects of Tianchi Yaoquan. When he returns, he will be the core disciple of the Condensation Stage, and his status will rise. But I just don't know, this
Who will take the remaining two spots?"
"I think everyone is the same! Tianchi Medicine Spring has a limited number of places. There are only four in total. These people are just going to become familiar with each other. If they want to win the place, the possibility is basically zero."
"That's not necessarily the case. Have you forgotten Gu Chen? This person is Gu Yin's cousin. The two are known as the two masters of the Gu family of our Ziji Sword Sect. Their cultivation levels are also at the peak of the ninth level of Qi refining. Although they are not as good as before.
Judging from his performance, he is indeed weaker than Gu Yin, but he may not be unable to defeat the disciples of the other two major sword sects."
"Look! Gu Chen is here!"
Li Kezhou was mixed in the crowd, heard the cry, and looked into the distance.
This Gu Chen is 70% similar to Gu Yin. What is similar is not the appearance, but the "I am the only one who shows off" attitude. This man is walking towards me with a sword on his shoulder and an indescribable aloofness on his face.
"Oh! It is indeed Gu Chen. Once this person comes out, the second spot will be determined! In my opinion, no one dares to make a move with him."
"That's right! Although our Sword Sect does not have the second master in the Dan Condensation stage, everyone understands it tacitly. Except for Gu Yin, Gu Chen is almost doing his job. Anyone who dares to fight against him is simply seeking death."
In the eyes of everyone, Gu Chen seemed to be in a deserted place, and everyone he passed was making way for him. His eyes were half open and half closed, and he stepped onto the sword performance stage step by step.
Standing opposite the sword platform at this time was a long-haired man who had just won a great victory and was equally high-spirited. As expected, this man's cultivation level was also at the ninth level of Qi Refining.
When he saw Gu Chen leisurely walking towards him, his face became solemn for the first time.
"I only use one sword!"
Gu Chen glanced at the man contemptuously, opened his lips slightly, and said a few words.
