Chapter 23 The same situation (please follow up)
"Whoever is more powerful is right..." Nan Chengwen whispered softly. Although Leng Zhengwu did not answer who was right or wrong, the last sentence seemed to point to Nan Chengwen.
Jiang Xi is "powerful" than Ning Ruoxi, and is favored by Luo Chuan and his senior brothers, so everyone also favors Jiang Xi.
Only they themselves know what happened between Ning Ruoxi and Jiang Xi, and they have two different stories.
No one who can become a high-level monk is an ordinary person. Take Dong Huaqing as an example. He doesn't care who is right or wrong. Ning Ruoxi and Jiang Xi are just Qi-refining monks. What kind of trouble can they make if they make trouble?
His purpose of helping Ning Ruoxi was also very simple, just because Ning Ruoxi saved his life.
The most important thing for a cultivator is to eliminate the cause and effect, because no one can predict whether these causes and effects will become the heart of the future when they go through tribulations.
If Dong Huaqing didn't know what happened to Ning Ruoxi, it would be okay. Since he knew, he would just help her repay her kindness. He didn't need to take sides.
If there was a conflict between Luo Chuan and an elder in the sect, and the two had to decide who was right and who was wrong, then Dong Huaqing would definitely make his position clear.
This is the differential treatment brought about by cultivation.
In the eyes of high-level monks, the conflicts between low-level monks were just playing house. Luo Chuan felt that the conflict between Ning Ruoxi and Jiang Xi was nothing. To put it bluntly, he just felt that Ning Ruoxi was making trouble unreasonably.
And because of the influence of Jiang Xi's Tianji Pearl, Luochuan's sense of Ning Ruoxi will only get worse.
"Elder Leng, if the soul is damaged, how can we recover it?" Nan Chengwen asked another question.
There was a slight fluctuation in Leng Zhengwu's eyes, "Oh? Could it be that Hua Qing has hurt his soul? I told him not to go deep into the Tianxuan Mountains alone..."
Nan Chengwen pricked up his ears and listened carefully, but Leng Zhengwu was also a mature man and stopped talking at the critical moment.
"If the soul is damaged, you need to find relevant heavenly materials, earthly treasures or elixirs to repair it. There are also special techniques for cultivating the soul that can restore the injury of the soul, but our Immortal Dao Sect does not have it."
"Thank you, Elder Leng, for clearing up the confusion. The master's soul is not injured. The disciple is just asking casually."
Leng Zhengwu nodded, "That's good."
"Disciple resign!"
Nan Chengwen bowed to Leng Zhengwu and left the Sutra Pavilion.
…….
Wanling Peak.
As expected, Jiang Xi succeeded again.
In front of Chen Boling, she used the Tianji Pearl to manipulate Xia Ran into telling the truth, which intensified Chen Boling's dislike of Ning Ruoxi.
In the Hall of All Spirits.
Luo Chuan summoned all his direct disciples. He glanced at everyone and found that one person seemed to be missing.
"Where's Xunyi?" Luo Chuan asked.
Fan Yue saluted Luochuan and said: "Master, the senior brother is in retreat. Before the retreat, he asked us not to disturb him."
Luo Chuan nodded and did not delve into the matter further, "Bo Ling left seclusion and Xiao Ran returned to the clan. I wanted to get you all together to give a sermon, but now it seems that we can't get the people together."
"Master, my disciple has something to say!" Chen Boling stood up, with a look of indignation on his face.
Seeing this, Xia Ran had some suspicions in her mind. Chen Boling was probably because of Ning Ruoxi.
"What's the matter?"
Chen Boling raised his voice and said: "Master, Ning Ruoxi said she would cut off ties with all of us at Wanling Peak, but she met with Third Senior Sister in private."
"Ning Ruoxi asked the third senior sister to stay away from the younger junior sister. This move is to sow discord." Hearing Ning Ruoxi's name, Luo Chuan's face became extremely calm, "Xiaoran, is this true?"
Xia Ran nodded, then shook his head, "Master, this is indeed true, but my disciple thinks that you punished Junior Sister Ning too much..."
Chen Boling interrupted Xia Ran sharply, "Third Senior Sister, you have been bewitched by Ning Ruoxi."
"When Ning Ruoxi stole the Spirit Sword, didn't she take the stolen goods as well? Later she injured the little junior sister, which was witnessed by the second and fourth senior brothers."
Xia Ran retorted: "The matter of stealing the spirit sword was just that the spirit sword was found in Junior Sister Ning's cave. What if someone framed Junior Sister Ning?"
"Also, I heard that the reason why Junior Sister Ning injured Junior Sister was because Junior Sister was the first to attack Junior Sister Ning, and Junior Sister Ning fought back out of self-protection."
"It's ridiculous. Who would be so free to frame Ning Ruoxi? What are the benefits of framing Ning Ruoxi?" Shangguan Jun also joined in the war of words.
"Third Senior Sister, you have been away from the sect all year round. You don't understand that Ning Ruoxi has changed. She has become jealous and doesn't want to see my little junior sister well."
Xia Ran smiled bitterly and didn't argue too much. Ning Ruoxi must have been the same way at that time. Later, she simply didn't bother to explain in so many words.
Preconceptions, no matter how you explain, are all in vain. There is already a problem with trust. Everyone trusts Jiang Xi instead of Ning Ruoxi.
Shangguan Jun and Chen Boling both favored Jiang Xi, while Fan Yue remained silent from beginning to end.
Luo Chuan finally spoke, "Ning Ruoxi is no longer a disciple of Wanling Peak, so just don't negotiate with her in the future."
Gone? Is this gone? Jiang Xi was not very satisfied with Luo Chuan's attitude. It seemed that he had to seize the time to improve his cultivation. Otherwise, the Tianji Pearl would not be able to influence Luo Chuan for a long time, which might be detrimental to future plans.
"Okay, stop talking nonsense, tell me what you don't understand in cultivation, and I will help you clear up your doubts today."
…….
In the mountains behind Tianxiang Peak.
Ning Ruoxi stood in front of a pool. She stretched out a finger and pointed it on the water. She saw a layer of frost quickly spreading outward from the finger.
A layer of ice formed on the water surface. The ice surface only spread about one meter before stopping. This was the limit of Ning Ruoxi's ability to freeze.
During the Qi refining stage, the spells were very simple. Ning Ruoxi retracted her fingers and took out the spirit sword from the storage ring. She began to practice the sword art in the Ice Spirit Cold Soul Art, which was called the Spirit-Sealing Sword Art.
The spiritual sword danced in Ning Ruoxi's hand, and a cold light appeared on the spiritual sword. When the sword was released, several broken ices rushed to the mountain cliff.
The dust and smoke dispersed, and many holes appeared on the cliff.
Ning Ruoxi was very satisfied with her sword. The sword technique she had practiced before was not as powerful as it was. It was difficult to just leave a sword mark on it from such a long distance.
"This sword is good!" Nan Chengwen appeared on the tree nearby at some point.
He leaned against the tree trunk and drank from a wine gourd.
Ning Ruoxi frowned slightly, she didn't like the feeling of being spied on.
If only the master was here, she would definitely be able to find Nan Chengwen and remind herself in time.
"Senior brother!" Ning Ruoxi saluted Nan Chengwen with the spirit sword on her back.
Nan Chengwen waved his hand, "Don't worry about me, you continue practicing your sword, and I'll see if I can give you some pointers."
"Although our spiritual roots are different, the sword soul is still the same. Sword cultivators must understand the sword soul to understand the power of the sword."
