Chapter 146 The Seventh Level of Qi Training and the Taoist Foundation Building Seeds (please subscribe for the big chapter)
“This kid was defeated by you, what a pity!”
“But let him He also endured the pain of his soul and vented his anger!"
Seeing Zhou Ling return to the rest area, He Zijian patted him on the shoulder and said with praise.
“Brother He, you also have to defeat Jin Sheng, let’s meet for the final!”
Zhou Ling smiled and cheered up He Zijian.
"Well, Jin Sheng is difficult to deal with, but I will fight with all my strength. It will not be that easy for him to defeat me!"
He Zijian smiled and said confidently.
Zhou Ling nodded, he was still very optimistic about He Zijian.
I just don’t know who will be the winner in the end when their swords clash.
"Zhou Ling congratulates you!"
He Lingyun also congratulated Zhou Ling.
She was also surprised that Zhou Ling was able to defeat Nan Feng and enter the finals.
Although he knew that Zhou Ling was much stronger than he appeared on the surface, he never expected to be able to defeat two seed disciples at the ninth level of Qi training in succession.
Of course, not only did she not think of it, but Li Ru, Zhou Shan and others also didn't think of it.
On the other hand, Wang Xin supported Zhou Ling as always.
Zhou Ling smiled and nodded to He Lingyun, then walked towards his parents.
"Ling'er has entered the finals, why does it feel like a dream!"
Looking at his son walking towards him, Li Ruwu asked Zhou Shan with some disbelief.
Zhou Shan nodded excitedly and said, "My son has really entered the finals. He will definitely have a chance to build a foundation in the future. My old Zhou family will finally have a foundation building monk!"
You must know that only by becoming a foundation-building monk can it be possible to establish a family. Therefore, building a foundation and establishing a family is almost a lifelong dream for most casual cultivators.
“Father, mother!”
Zhou Ling shouted and sat down on the futon nearby.
Although this battle was won, it still consumed a lot of money. We still need to gain time to recover as soon as possible.
“Ling’er, are you okay?”
Li Ru asked with concern.
She was only at the fifth level of qi training, and her soul cultivation was average, but from Nanfeng's scream just now, she could also guess the danger of the battle just now.
“It’s okay, it’s just that the consumption is a bit too high!”
Zhou Ling said with a smile.
With his mother's temperament, even if something happened, he would not dare to let her know, lest she worry.
Hearing this, Li Rucai breathed a sigh of relief.
"Brother Ling is so powerful, he can even break through Nanfeng's soul attack!"
Wang Yu also walked over and said in a complimentary tone.
However, in her opinion, this is normal. After all, with Zi Ling's cultivation level, the Soul Technique taught to Zhou Ling and the others is definitely not low.
"Aunt Wang! I just won by luck, it cost too much!"
Zhou Ling said modestly.
"Well, you are already very good!"
"It's just that your cultivation level is still a bit low!"
Wang Yu said in an encouraging tone.
After thinking for a while, he took out a pill bottle from the storage ring, handed it to Zhou Ling and said, "Brother Ling, this is a Zhengyuan Pill. For Qi training monks, it is as good as the Small Foundation Establishment Pill." "
"It can help you break through the bottleneck in the middle stage of Qi training."
"I originally thought I would give it to you after you complete the competition."
"However, now you have actually reached this step. , I think we can use Zhengyuan Dan to rush forward and see if we can enter the seventh level of Qi training."
"This will give me more opportunities for the next finals!"
< br>"Thank you, Aunt Wang!" Zhou Ling took the elixir bottle and hurriedly held it in his hand to express his thanks.
Now the body has reached fifty-nine spiritual points, which is only one step away from the seventh level of Qi training.
If he can enter the seventh level of Qi training at this time, it will definitely be extremely beneficial to him in the next finals.
After all, the sixth level of Qi training is obviously insufficient against disciples like He Zijian and Jin Sheng who have equally strong and pure magic powers.
I can only say that this Zhengyuan Pill came just in time!
However, he is also worried. After all, when he practices the "Five Elements Qianyuan True Secret", to break through the bottleneck of the seventh level of Qi training, the supply of spiritual power required is much higher than that of the ordinary sixth level of Qi training. monk.
But now that I have this opportunity, I still have to fight for it.
After all, the first place and the second place, whether it is rewards or future treatment, are very different.
“Sister Yu, thank you so much!”
Li Ru also thanked Wang Yu with a grateful face.
The price of this Zhengyuan Pill is at least five or six hundred spirit stones on the market.
Moreover, the elixirs refined by Wang Yu generally contain one or two elixir patterns, so their value is even higher.
"It's okay. The two of them will go to Xuanyuan Taoist Temple in the future, and Xin'er wants Brother Ling to take care of her more."
Wang Yu smiled and said.
He told Zhou Ling again, "This Zhengyuan Pill is extremely powerful and has a strong impact on the meridians. You must be mentally prepared when taking it!"
"Yes, Aunt Wang! ”
Zhou Ling replied respectfully.
At the same time, the bell rang for the start of the second round of competition.
Zhou Ling was not in a hurry to refine Zhengyuan Dan, but instead set his sights on the competition platform.
It was only the middle of the day, and there were still more than two hours before the afternoon finals. He had enough time to refine the Zhengyuan Pill.
So I plan to first use the [Intermediate Observation] and [Intermediate Analysis] talents to observe and understand the sword intentions of the two people.
On the one hand, I am preparing for the next competition, and on the other hand, I am also adopting a learning attitude.
After all, with [Intermediate Analysis], he can analyze the advantages and disadvantages of his opponent's sword intention, and he can also summarize some beneficial experiences.
In particular, his sword energy furnace is largely derived from Jin Sheng's burning sword energy.
On the competition stage, the two men were facing each other.
The atmosphere was a bit solemn.
He Zijian is tall and exudes an aura of arrogance and strength.
Although Jin Sheng looks thinner, his aura is calm, giving people the feeling of a sword without an edge.
“Your aura seems to have improved a lot!”
Looking at He Zijian, Jin Sheng raised his eyebrows, but his expression was as calm as ever.
“You have changed a lot too!”
He Zijian smiled and said.
While speaking, with a thought, he took out a thick black giant sword from the storage bag.
The sword is seven feet long, huge in size, and has a powerful aura.
"Hmph!"
Jin Sheng snorted slightly, then patted the storage bag on his waist, and then a three-foot fiery red sword danced out, his breath was hot and fierce, Its power is slightly stronger than the thick black sword.
Staring at Jin Sheng, He Zijian said proudly, "Then let me see the real chapter under my hands, and let me see what the difference is in the sword intention that your sword body understands!"
After speaking, He Zijian Swinging the giant sword suddenly, a thunderous sword light suddenly condensed on the giant sword, tearing up wisps of thunder, flashing with a violent aura, and slashed towards Jin Sheng.
Faced with the terrifying power of the giant sword that came crashing down, Jin Sheng was not afraid at all. The fiery red magic sword in his hand bloomed with fiery red light, like gorgeous clouds shining in the sky.
He faced the thunderous sword light and bombarded him away without any hesitation.
Then, two mighty sword lights struck each other heavily.
The sound of explosions was heard one after another, and the competition stage was reflected in a purple-red sky.
Where the swords of the two men collided, a circle of fierce sword energy swayed out.
The roaring sword light, shining with dazzling thunder and flame light, instantly intertwined violently, annihilating and bombarding each other.
[You are observing the Hong Furnace Sword Art, intermediate observation +1, Burning Sword Intent +1]
[You are analyzing the Hong Furnace Sword Art, intermediate analysis +1, Burning Sword Intent +1 1】
[You are observing the Thunder-Breaking Sword Art, Intermediate Observation +1, Thunder-Breaking Sword Intent +1]
[You are analyzing the Thunder-Breaking Sword Art, Intermediate Analysis +1, Thunder-Breaking Sword Intent +1]
"Brother He actually comprehended the Thunder-Breaking Sword Intent!"
Watching the competition platform instantly filled with sword energy, Zhou Ling looked surprised.
This was something he had never encountered in [Illusion Simulation] before.
You must know that thunder magic is the most difficult and strongest of all spells.
What’s more, this is a thunder-attributed sword intent. The difficulty of breaking thunder sword intent is even more conceivable!
"Perhaps Brother He has just realized it this time!"
Zhou Ling guessed in his heart, but it doesn't matter. Such observation and analysis will undoubtedly have a lot of impact on him. Big help.
Just like the last time he understood the meaning of the Burning Sword, he felt that there seemed to be a new change in the Five Elements Sword Veins in his body.
"No matter what the situation is, with the help of the [Thunder Gang] talent, this Thunder-Breaking Sword Intent can also be learned!"
Zhou Ling thought to himself.
Boom, boom, boom!
At this moment, sword energy flew across the competition stage.
The sword techniques performed by the two people each have their own strengths. He Zijian opens and closes in a wide range. The sword is as heavy as a mountain, accompanied by the roar of thunder, and has an extremely strong and yang, heavy and heavy artistic conception.
Jin Sheng's sword light is flexible and ever-changing, sometimes like a sword lotus blooming, sometimes like a fire dragon emerging from the sea. The sword's power is unpredictable, but it has an extremely hot burning aura.
Even He Zijian's thunderous sword light cannot gain the slightest advantage under the shroud of this burning sword intent.
The shining sword light all over the sky, accompanied by roars and explosions, reminds all the spectators at all times that these two are the most powerful disciples in this session.
Thunder and fire are attributes that focus on fierce killing.
So the battle between the two people did not involve many tricks, it was all a head-on fight.
Which side is more powerful will have a chance to win.
However, others may not see anything.
But through [Intermediate Analysis], Zhou Ling knew that at this moment, He Zijian's consumption was much higher than that of Jin Sheng.
Although the two of them understood the sword intent very well.
But Jin Sheng himself is a rare sword body, and his understanding and control of the sword's intention is far better than that of He Zijian.
The so-called spiritual body is more in line with the rules of heaven and earth, and its cultivation speed and understanding are far beyond those of ordinary monks.
Of course, spiritual bodies are also divided into three, six or nine levels.
Zhou Ling doesn't know what kind of sword body Jin Sheng is, but as long as it is a sword body, his understanding of the sword is definitely much better than ordinary people.
And he has a natural affinity for swords. When controlled, the power is stronger than that of ordinary swordsmen, and the consumption is also less.
“This guy seems to know Brother He’s weaknesses, and now he seems to be mostly on the defensive!”
Zhou Ling's eyes narrowed slightly.
However, this is also good for him. As the two talents continue to operate, Zhou Ling's observation and analysis of the sword moves and sword intentions of the two men become more and more accurate.
Only by knowing yourself and the enemy can you be victorious in every battle.
Boom!
While Zhou Ling was analyzing and thinking, thunderous noises came from the competition platform one after another.
"Cut!"
He Zijian slashed with his heavy sword, and instantly fired out three huge sword beams, which struck Jin Sheng fiercely.
"Boom!"
"Boom!"
The sword light roared with an extremely violent roar, and wherever it passed, it drew a line of white thunder. , the dazzling sword light makes people dare not look directly.
"Burning Flame Sword!"
Jin Sheng did not dare to be careless in the slightest. He stared at the sword light in the air with a cautious look, thought about the magic spell, and injected magic power into the magic sword suspended in front of him.
In an instant, the magic sword slashed down, and in the blink of an eye, it condensed into a dragon of several feet of flaming sword energy. It flew towards the thunderous sword light with its teeth and claws.
Then, the flaming sword dragon roared violently, and the thunderous sword energy that struck was immediately burned away by the scorching flaming sword energy.
Jin Sheng pointed his finger attentively, and the flaming dragon sword energy blasted out unstoppably, overwhelming the thunderous sword light.
"Boom!"
The thundering sword light and the flaming sword light intertwined violently, and the rumbling sound was deafening.
A terrifying sword energy rose horribly.
“Not good!”
Gu Jiaoxi, who was on the judges’ bench, hurriedly fired his spell, and a stream of spiritual power was injected into the mask of the competition platform.
At this moment, the light mask of the competition platform was already dim, as if it would break at any time.
This is the condensed light mask of the second-level defense array.
Able to block attacks from foundation-building monks.
But under the terrifying sword energy of the two men, it was already in danger and could collapse at any time.
It can be seen that the attack power of the two men is terrifying.
Fortunately, with the injection of spiritual power from ancient teachings, the mask gradually stabilized.
The glazed jade on the ground was already riddled with holes, with deep marks as if they had been plowed by something.
The two judges were shocked by the terrifying fighting power of the two.
A small second-grade immortal city can actually have disciples with such fighting power, and there are only two of them.
They had already expected Jin Sheng's combat power. After all, it was a sword body, so its combat power must be extraordinary.
But He Zijian's ability to comprehend the thunder-attribute sword intention also surprised them!
Bang! Bang! Bang!
After a fierce attack to no avail, He Zijian was finally forced to switch from offense to defense due to too much consumption.
At this moment, the advantage of Jinsheng Sword Body was revealed. The flaming sword light was very fast, and it still had enough power to suppress He Zijian.
He Zijian could only swing the heavy sword and condense the sword energy in front of him for defense.
But even so, Jin Sheng's sword light continued to suppress him.
Leaving him breathless. "Brother He, isn't he a formation master? Why are you so passive and don't use magic formations or anything like that?"
The battle situation on the field made Zhou Ling anxious.
The two of them have always fought with swords without using any other external objects.
Perhaps it was the tacit understanding formed by the plan to compete in the swordsmanship.
But Zhou Ling disagreed in his heart.
After all, a white cat and a black cat are good cats if they can catch mice!
Why not use other methods?
What's more, Jin Sheng has a sword body, which has advantages in terms of swordsmanship.
"Let's decide the outcome with one sword!"
As soon as He Zijian finished speaking, his aura suddenly surged, and then he suddenly slashed down with his sword.
Boom!
The violent thunder sword energy slashed towards Jin Sheng with the force of chopping everything.
Jin Sheng looked solemn, feeling the fierce sword energy rushing towards him, the aura on his body suddenly exploded, and an astonishing sword energy burst out.
boom!
A huge flaming sword light then shot out.
Boom!
Two sword beams struck in the air, and the terrifying sword energy exploded.
The entire competition platform seemed to be crumbling.
Finally, the thunderous sword light gradually annihilated and dissipated in the flaming sword energy.
He Zijian's face turned pale and he fell to the ground with a bang.
At this moment, the mana in his body has been exhausted and he has no strength to fight anymore.
Although Jin Sheng was not having a good time, his condition was a bit better than him.
“I lost!”
He Zijian shook his head helplessly!
"This is just a competition. If it is a head-on fight, Brother He may not lose!"
Looking at the situation on the field, Zhou Ling thought to himself.
The sword skills and sword intent of both sides are extremely lethal, but obviously, He Zijian's sword intent is not suitable for long-term battles.
It is more suitable to let go with all your strength and fight with all your strength.
This kind of competition still restricted He Zijian's performance.
However, there is no doubt about Jin Sheng’s swordsmanship.
Through the actual combat analysis of this battle, Zhou Ling also gained a lot.
On the competition stage, after the judges announced that Jin Sheng had won, neither of them stepped off the stage. Instead, they each took out the elixir and drank it.
Sit cross-legged in meditation and recover.
Jin Sheng did not dare to be careless. Although he defeated He Zijian, the cost was huge.
In the afternoon, he faced Zhou Ling. Although he was only at the sixth level of Qi training, his methods were impressive. He still had to be fully prepared.
Especially since this person has a good relationship with Wang Xin, he wants to defeat him and leave a deep impression on Wang Xin.
Looking at the state of the two people, we can also see the intensity of this battle.
There is still some time before the afternoon finals.
Zhou Ling didn't think any more and took out the pill bottle given by Wang Yu just now.
Pour out a white elixir from it. The surface of the elixir flashes with a warm jade-like luster, and there are two faint elixir patterns flashing.
“The Zhengyuan Pill with the Erdan Pattern!”
Zhou Ling was quite excited. Wang Xin and the others had really helped him a lot along the way.
After taking the Heqi Pill just now, coupled with the [Recovery as before] and [Elixir Stress], he has now recovered 90% of his spiritual power.
During this period, he continued to take the Erdanwen Heqi Pill every day, and his cultivation level also improved rapidly.
The last time I integrated the Green Lotus Fire, I entered the sixth level of Qi training and stimulated seven spiritual points at once, reaching fifty-six.
In less than a month, he activated three more spiritual points.
Although it has been less than a month since he broke through to the sixth level of Qi training, he is still practicing the "Five Elements Qianyang Zhenjue" with the help of spiritual flames.
The foundation is solid and strong, no less than other sixth-level qi-training monks.
To put it simply, Zhou Ling already has the foundation to use external forces to break through the bottleneck in the later stages of Qi training.
Afterwards, Zhou Ling threw the elixir directly into his mouth.
The Zhengyuan Dan tastes bitter and melts as soon as it enters the mouth, and then turns into a stream of hot air that flows into Zhou Ling's meridians.
It was as if a flame suddenly appeared in the meridians.
If you are an ordinary sixth-level qi-training monk, you can only use spiritual power to warm your body's muscles and veins, and then slowly absorb the medicinal power. However, this absorption and refining process will also be accompanied by tremendous pain. .
Some monks could even faint and die if they couldn't hold on.
But Zhou Ling's meridians are already extremely tough now. Even if the Zhengyuan Pill is fierce and overbearing, he can withstand it.
After a while, the hot air began to spread in Zhou Ling's meridians.
A burning pain in the veins also spread.
But Zhou Ling's expression was calm. Although there was a feeling of tearing in his meridians, it was completely within the tolerable range.
[You are refining the Zhengyuan Pill, the medicinal stress +1, the efficacy of the Zhengyuan Pill +2]
Following the talent prompt, he felt another strong spiritual power suddenly flowing into his meridians, Spiritual energy surges.
Even if the five elements circulation meridians are opened up.
At this moment, it seemed as if I was overflowing with spiritual energy.
“Boom!”
The powerful medicinal power is instantly released in the meridians, spreads everywhere, and is transformed into pure spiritual power, tempering the spiritual points.
In just a few breaths, for Qi training monks, it is an extremely difficult bottleneck in the later stages of Qi training.
Zhou Ling broke through easily.
Puff!
Two spiritual acupoints were opened in succession.
The surging spiritual power surged toward the sea of Qi like a tide.
At this moment, Zhou Ling has successfully become a seventh-level Qi training monk.
“Hoo!”
After burning the incense, Zhou Ling gently exhaled and opened his eyes, his face full of joy.
This breakthrough was much smoother than he expected.
After all, to condense the five elements' spiritual veins, every step forward requires the support of huge spiritual power.
It can also be seen that the Zhengyuan Pill given by Aunt Wang is of high quality.
Coupled with the increase in medicinal power stimulated by [Elixir Stress], you will have such abundant spiritual power, giving you a feeling of success.
Feeling the abundant spiritual power in his body, Zhou Ling was excited.
The middle and late stages of Qi training are a big bottleneck.
At this moment, he felt that his strength had more than doubled.
The soul is also becoming more and more pure.
"Congratulations, Brother Ling, for entering the late stage of Qi training!"
Looking at Zhou Ling's bright eyes, Wang Yu was the first to feel the change in Zhou Ling's aura.
“Ling’er, you are really in the advanced stage of Qi training!”
Li Ru spoke with excitement, and although he tried his best to control it, he couldn't help but still burst into tears.
Now that her son has achieved such an achievement, nothing could make her more excited than this.
"Ling'er is really good!"
Zhou Shan was also full of excitement and his voice was a little hoarse.
My son has entered the seventh level of Qi training, which is a huge breakthrough.
"Thanks to Aunt Wang for the Zhengyuan Pill!"
Zhou Ling hurriedly thanked Wang Yu respectfully.
"Brother Ling, you don't need to be so polite. Remember from now on, just take good care of Xin'er when you get to the Taoist Temple!"
Wang Yu said with a smile.
“Don’t worry, Aunt Wang!”
Zhou Ling said seriously.
"Well, we have just entered the late stage of Qi training, and we need to consolidate more so that we can perform better in the finals in the afternoon!"
Wang Yu nodded again.
Zhou Ling nodded and glanced at the competition table again.
He Zijian and Jin Sheng were still sitting cross-legged in silence, recovering their magic power.
Zhou Ling continued to sit on the futon, thinking about the scene where He Zijian and Jin Sheng fought just now in his mind.
Carefully analyze his Jin Sheng's sword moves.
If there wasn’t a final in the afternoon, he would have gone directly into [Dreamland Simulation] and had a real battle with his opponent, which would have been the best result.
Although it was simulated yesterday, the combat power shown by Jin Sheng yesterday is still very different from today's combat power.
Besides, Li Ru and his wife also thanked Wang Yu happily!
"This little guy actually entered the seventh level of Qi training like this."
Jiaoxi Hu, who was standing up from the judges' seat, glanced at Zhou Ling, with an unexpected smile on his face.
Then he followed several others and said in a solemn tone, "I want to give Zhou Ling the quota of Taoist foundation building seeds in Lingxia Immortal City this year!"
"Taoist building foundation seeds! "
When Deacon Qin heard this, he also looked happy.
The foundation-building seed is the collective recognition of the four major academies and the assessment disciples with great potential.
Once you become a foundation-building seed, you will be able to obtain various resources after entering the Taoist Academy and become a key disciple of the Taoist Academy.
As long as you can meet the assessment standards of the Taoist Academy, the Taoist Academy will even provide foundation-building pills and auxiliary spiritual objects.
This time there is only one quota in Lingxia Fairy City. After discussion, several people had planned to give this quota to Jin Sheng.
Now Hu Jiaoxi suddenly proposed to give it to Zhou Ling.
Several others couldn't help but hesitate.
After all, this kind of thing is the result of consultation and discussion among several people.
“Fellow Daoist Hu, this little guy Zhou Ling is quite good, but we have already negotiated this matter for Jin Sheng, so we can’t go back on our word!”
“And Jin Sheng is an Earth Flame Sword Body. This potential is not comparable to Zhou Ling's."
Jiaoxi Wang of Jiutian Sword Academy, who has never been very talkative, couldn't help but say.
After all, Jin Sheng had already agreed to join Jiutian Sword Academy, so Wang Jiaoxi naturally turned to him.
Moreover, Jin Sheng has a sword body, so there is no doubt about his potential. Naturally, he is far better than Zhou Ling, who only has a low-grade spiritual root.
The qualifications alone are completely different between the two.
However, Zhou Ling's cultivation talent is also amazing enough.
"What Wang Daoyou said is true, and you also said it. Jin Sheng is the sword body, and it will definitely be able to build the foundation in the future, even without the help of the foundation building pill."
"But Zhou Ling is different. Not only does he have a low-grade spiritual root, but he is also a casual cultivator. He has limited resources. To be able to reach this point shows that his talent is extremely amazing!"
"The resources at hand are definitely not enough. If he can become a foundation-building seed, he will get more resources when he enters the Taoist Academy, which will be of great help to him!"
Hu Jiaoxi said seriously!
“This?”
Wang Jiaoxi is not good at words and doesn’t know what to say at the moment.
Thinking about it, Hu Jiaoxi’s reasons make sense.
After all, although Zhou Ling seems to have good potential now, once he enters the Taoist Academy, he will face all the talented disciples from various fairy cities.
He may not have that big advantage.
The resources that can be obtained in this way are also limited.
If this quota were available, the situation would definitely be much better.
For Zhou Ling, he also has a love for talents in his heart.
It’s hard to refute for a while!
Several other people had similar ideas.
For a while, everyone was hesitant.
“I think so!”
"This year, the seed quota for foundation building in the Taoist Academy will be given to the leader of the competition."
"Whoever wins the afternoon finals will get this quota!"
Gu Jiaoxi thought for a while, and finally Said out loud.
Although it seems fair to say this, after all, Zhou Ling's combat power is still inferior to Jin Sheng's.
So I still prefer Jinsheng.
After all, the sword body must be treated differently.
But this can be regarded as giving Zhou Ling a chance.
Whether he can grasp it depends on his own performance.
“That’s okay!”
Several others also supported it.
Hu Jiaoxi could only nod.
Now that he has won the opportunity for Zhou Ling, it is up to him whether he can grasp it!
Then everyone stood up and left the judges' table.
