Chi Ming still had his last breath. He saw Liu Yang's death state and stared at Zi Chen in horror. His voice was extremely weak, and he was breathing more out than in.
Zi Chen came slowly, walked to Chi Ming, squatted down, wiped the blood on his hands with the other party's green clothes, and said lightly: "If you want to kill someone, you must have the consciousness to be killed."
After that, Zi Chen used his other clean hand to reach into Chi Ming's arms. After a while of groping, he actually found a Qi Pill.
"Not bad, I didn't expect you to have one. Thanks, brother." Holding the Qi Pill in his hand, Zi Chen's eyes suddenly lit up, as if he had discovered a rare treasure.
"Pfft." Chi Ming couldn't stand Zi Chen's words, and all his strength was spent spitting out the last mouthful of blood. Then he tilted his head and fell to the ground.
This time, there was really no sound.
Three people died.
Zi Chen got up and walked to the dead Fu Jie. After groping for a while, he got another Qi Pill. After that, Zi Chen came back and wanted to get something from Liu Yang.
Unfortunately, Liu Yang did not have the True Qi Pill.
"This is opportunity."
With bright eyes, Zi Chen took two Qi pills and carried his baggage, leaving the dense forest. As for the three dead people, Zi Chen didn't bother to take a look and had no intention of burying the bodies.
Next to a stream a few miles away, Zi Chen washed his hands, ate some simple food, and then found a relatively safe place.
Sit cross-legged and try to calm yourself down.
The eyes observe the nose, and the nose observes the heart.
Today's harvest was great, he got two Zhenqi pills, and with his peak strength of the fourth level of Zhenqi, he could naturally break through.
If you are at the fifth level of Qi, you are eligible to participate in the inner sect assessment. When Tietie enters the inner sect, you can also participate in ranking competitions and obtain more rewards.
The True Qi Pill melts immediately at the entrance and enters the belly, feeling warm. Then a stream of pure spiritual energy rushes towards the limbs and bones.
The Heavenly Thunder Body Tempering Art is running, just like before. After running for half a week, this energy is absorbed by the heart.
After a few breaths, as the heart beat suddenly, a stream of pure silver energy appeared from the heart. Most of the energy entered the bones and blood of the body, and only a small part gathered in the Dantian.
A lot of silver energy has gathered in Zi Chen's dantian, and among this silver energy, some tiny thunder and lightning occasionally appear.
Under the injection of external energy, the silver energy in the Dantian suddenly trembled and began to tremble, as if it was about to undergo some kind of transformation, but this transformation seemed a little weak.
"The energy absorbed by the body is too much for the strength to break through smoothly. It seems that we can't be stingy." Zi Chen sighed and swallowed another Qi Pill.
Afterwards, as the heart beat, a steady stream of energy was injected into the Dantian, and the silver energy in the entire Dantian began to transform.
The energy in the dantian became stronger. At the same time, every drop of blood, cell, bone, and even bone marrow in Zi Chen's body was changing and gradually became stronger under this energy.
In a daze, Zi Chen seemed to have a feeling that his physique had broken through again and was comparable to a level six ferocious beast.
After a long time, the breakthrough was completed and Zi Chen opened his eyes. In an instant, there seemed to be a flash of lightning in his eyes.
"The fifth level of true energy has finally broken through."
There was a touch of joy on Zi Chen's face. Taking this step and successfully entering the inner door was equivalent to opening another door for himself. The world in the future will be very exciting.
It didn't take much time to refine two Qi pills. There was still nearly a month before the inner sect examination. During this period, Zi Chen didn't want to cause any more trouble, so he didn't go back, but stayed in this dense forest.
Come down.
Practice quietly.
During the day, Zi Chen would work hard to practice his combat skills. The Tiger Fist was integrated with Flowing Cloud Steps, making Zi Chen's combat effectiveness even more powerful.
"Peng!" "Peng!" "Peng!"
Such sounds can always be heard in the forest. Big trees fall down in response, and the roar of tigers keeps ringing, scaring away many small animals.
At night, Zi Chen practiced the Heavenly Thunder Body Tempering Technique. The energy of the surrounding heaven and earth quickly gathered towards Zi Chen. After being absorbed by the heart, it was fed back again.
Time flies by, and in the blink of an eye it’s been more than half a month. There are many more flowers in the forest, and half of spring has passed.
"It's time for the inner sect assessment to begin."
In the early morning, Zi Chen, who was sitting cross-legged, opened his eyes. Today he will go home and fight to enter the inner gate.
"In previous battles, the first place was rewarded with a book of second-rate combat skills and three Qi pills. I don't know what the reward will be for the first place this year." Zi Chen's eyes were filled with anticipation.
Lingwu Sect ushered in a lively moment.
The inner sect examination is held once every two years. If you miss the opportunity, you have to wait for another two years. In the lively atmosphere, Zi Chen returned without attracting anyone's attention.
"Zi Chen, you are finally back. You have worried me to death for a while." Miaokong was in the room and said in surprise when he saw Zi Chen back.
"I'm fine, I just didn't want to cause any more trouble, so I stayed outside for a while." Zi Chen said with a smile.
"I inquired that after you left that day, Fu Jie and Chi Ming also left. Did you meet them?" Miaokong asked.
"They died, and the Qi Pill belongs to me." Zi Chen explained what happened that day.
"I haven't seen you for just a few months. Your growth has been really terrifying. It seems that this time, you are expected to take the first place in the assessment." Miao Kong said with a smile.
"There is hope, but no guarantee."
"The fourth level of Zhenqi can kill the fifth layer of Zhenqi. Now that you have made a breakthrough, who is still your opponent?"
Just when Zi Chen returned, Wang Meng, who had refined three Zhenqi pills, reached the critical point of breakthrough. The spiritual energy of the surrounding world surged towards Wang Meng. In the Dantian, the Zhenqi was also undergoing transformation.
.
"Sixth level of true energy, haha, I am the first in this assessment." After a while, the spiritual energy of heaven and earth returned to normal, Wang Meng opened his eyes, and there was a touch of ecstasy on his face.
"Brother Meng, Brother Meng."
Just after the breakthrough, Wang Meng was in a good mood. However, at this moment, an anxious shout sounded outside the door.
"Come in."
The door was pushed open, and a disciple in Tsing Yi walked in quickly and said anxiously: "Brother Meng, something bad has happened. Zi Chen is back, but Fu Jie and Chi Ming are not back, and even Liu Yang is not back either.
"
Wang Meng's eyes flashed coldly and he asked, "When did this happen?"
"Just now, Zi Chen just came back."
Before Wang Meng went into seclusion, he asked Lin Mi to watch and wait for Fu Jie and others to return. However, after so many days, Fu Jie and others did not wait, but Lin Mi saw Zi Chen.
"Zi Chen, I didn't expect you to pretend to be a pig and eat the tiger. You deserve to die." Wang Meng was furious. Zhao Can and others' life and death were unknown before, and now Fu Jie and others have not returned. If it is a coincidence, even if Wang Meng is killed, he won't believe it.
"Pretending to be a pig and eating a tiger, Brother Meng, do you mean that Fu Jie and Chi Ming were killed?" Lin Mi felt unbelievable. He was the one who went to throw excrement outside Zichen's house that day.
"It's hard to say, but we don't rule out the possibility. If Zi Chen breaks through to the fifth level of Zhen Qi, he must have used Zhen Qi Pill. Fu Jie and Chi Ming will be in danger." A cold light flashed in Wang Meng's eyes.
"But what about the breakthrough? It's best not to let me touch him in the second round, otherwise I will tear him to pieces."
The inner door assessment is divided into two rounds.
The first round is mainly to test the strength, and the second round is to test the combat effectiveness.
The day of the assessment is approaching, and the disciples of Lingwu Sect who have gone out have returned one after another. Some are happy and some are sad. They are naturally happy to have broken through to the fifth level of Qi. Those who have not broken through have to wait for another two years.
It was morning when Zi Chen came back, but at noon, someone came to see him.
The person coming is Lin Xue.
She has a slim figure, wearing the uniform green dress of Lingwu Sect, standing outside Miaokong's room, her beautiful green face is like a newly blooming green lotus.
The outer disciples returned one after another, and there were many of them. Naturally, some of them saw Lin Xue standing outside the Miaokong Sect.
Lin Xue's appearance may not be comparable to that of the goddess Su Mengyao, but she is like a green lotus, possessing another kind of temperament and another kind of softness. If it weren't for Su Mengyao's protection, I don't know how many times she would have been poisoned.
Chen luckily discovered that Lin Xue, who was seriously injured, was coveted by others because of her appearance, and she almost succeeded.
Standing outside the Miaokong Gate today, it naturally arouses endless reverie.
"Isn't that Miaokong's room? Why is Lin Xue standing outside the door? Is he waiting for Miaokong?"
"Bullshit, I'm just waiting for Zi Chen. I really don't know what kind of shitty luck this kid has. Didn't he just come back with Lin Xue who was seriously injured on his back? Not to mention taking advantage, he actually made Lin Xue fall in love."
"This world is so terrible. Even goddesses fall in love with poor boys."
"What, Lin Xue is waiting for Zi Chen, is Zi Chen back? He offended Wang Meng and Wang Xiong, is he not dead yet?"
People were talking in the distance, various complex emotions were spreading, and there was a sour smell in the air.
"Lin Xue?" Zi Chen walked out of the door and looked very surprised when he saw Lin Xue.
"Where have you been these days? I've been looking for you for a long time but I haven't found you?" Lin Xue ignored everyone's comments. At this moment, she only had Zi Chen in her eyes.
"Going to the trial." Zi Chen scratched his head and said.
"This is for you." Lin Xue smiled softly, and a porcelain bottle appeared in her hand.
"What is this?" Zi Chen was stunned.
"Hehe, you'll know if you open it and take a look." Lin Xue laughed: "I'm about to enter the inner door, and you can't be too bad, otherwise the gap between us will become wider and wider. I'll come to see you again.
, you will feel even more inferior."
"This is the Qi Pill." Zi Chen's expression changed and he quickly shook his head and said, "No, I can't take it. I haven't repaid you for your life-saving grace that day. How can I take such a precious thing?"
Like a green lotus blooming, Lin Xue smiled again, "I knew you didn't want it. Don't worry, I didn't give it to you for free. I lent it to you. Just return it to me when you get to the inner gate. There are two
If you have a conscience, you can return three of them to me when the time comes."
