Chapter 58: Quietly breaking through
As soon as Gu Xichun said this, there was a sudden silence in front of the Qingteng Sword Courtyard gate.
Xu Heshan not far away, Xie Changsheng stopped talking. Xie Changsheng couldn't help but shake his head and said slightly: "Even if you have such ambition, there is no need to say it openly to show your extraordinaryness."
Xu Heshan was a little convinced and said softly: "At least he has such a spirit."
There have been more than a dozen students from the practice areas here, but only three or four practice areas are qualified to participate in the Minshan Sword Sect Sword Association. Among the three or four practice areas that are qualified to participate, Gu Xichun is probably the only one who dares to say this. The rest know that they are not strong enough, and they can only serve as a foil for those sword meetings.
Naturally, Gu Xichun could not guarantee that he would be able to get the opportunity to study in the Minshan Sword Sect at that kind of sword meeting. However, he could use this as his goal, and compared with those around him who did not associate himself with that kind of sword meeting, his two words naturally meant that you, the birds, knew the ambitions of swans.
Xie Changsheng, Xu Heshan and others felt that Gu Xichun had some proud capital, so they just muttered a few words in private, not wanting to openly refute Gu Xichun's face. However, among the students present, some of them had outstanding backgrounds and had poor cultivation.
After a brief silence, someone couldn't help but say lightly: "Brother Gu is very ambitious, so we are naturally not as good as that, but if Ding Ning from this Aries Cave is really the same as An Baoshi of Lingxu Sword Sect and Jing Liuli of Minshan Sword Sect, he will refine Qi for one month, and then the subsequent cultivation speed is about the same as those of those two, perhaps when he arrives at the Minshan Sword Sect, he will be your strong enemy."
"Is that true?"
Gu Xichun looked at the man, smiled slightly, and said, "Then we are idle around, we might as well give a lottery ticket. Let's see if Ding Ning can break through the realm today and refine Qi in one month."
After hearing this, most of the people present felt that it was meaningless.
Because at least yesterday, everyone can be sure that Ding Ning has not broken the realm yet. With one day today as the deadline, the chance of winning that Ding Ning can break the realm is too slim.
In fact, everyone present thought that the young man in the wine shop in Aries Cave was impossible to refine Qi in one month. Refining Qi in one month was only because of the records of the two monsters, Minshan Sword Sect and Lingxu Sword Sect, so there was such a statement.
Could it be that Ding Ning can really hold on to the Qi Refining Realm in just one month?
Most people are not able to bet, even if there are a few people who are likely to bet, most people won but don’t have much lottery and can’t bet at all.
However, at this moment, a sound that seemed a little tender but unruly sounded: "Okay, since that's the case, then I'll bet three mica sword coins and Ding Ning can successfully break the realm today."
hiss……
There was a sound of air conditioning in front of the mountain gate of Qingteng Jianyuan.
Everyone's eyes were gathered on that person.
A mica sword coin is worth 500 gold, and three are worth 1,500 gold. With so much money, most of the students present are unable to piece together to piece together.
All the students even thought that the person who made a sound was a joke, but when they saw the person who made a sound clearly and saw the three sword coins he took out from his sleeve, everyone understood that this person was not a joke.
Because this person is Xie Changsheng from Baiyunguan, and the Xie family is a wealthy man in Guanzhong, he can still afford to bet on this thousand five hundred gold.
"What are you doing?"
Xu Heshan beside Xie Changsheng looked unbelievable.
"Money is external to the body." Xie Changsheng curled his lips and replied softly.
In fact, when Gu Xichun was a little ridiculed at the beginning, he was a little unhappy. Just when he saw Gu Xichun proposing a gambling with even more pride, he couldn't help it.
"Oh?" Gu Xichun frowned slightly when she saw that it was Xie Changsheng.
As soon as he said it, the bet would have been done naturally, but at this moment, another sound of horse-stop sounded.
"Xie Changsheng! Isn't the money in the family money?"
"Do you think you can spend it at will without restraint when you reach your hands?"
"Xie Changsheng! Do you think that if your father gave you such a name, you can really win forever. Do you want to win every bet?"
With the clear sound of horse-striking, angry female voices continued to ring on the mountain road.
Xie Changsheng shivered and his face turned pale.
"What's going on?" Xu Henian followed everyone's eyes and saw a tall girl rushing out of the stopped carriage with evil eyes.
The girl has a beautiful melon-shaped face and a very well-proportioned figure. Her long hair is wrapped in a jade hairpin, which makes her neck look even longer.
"Who is she?" Xu Henian couldn't help but look at Xie Changsheng beside him again. He knew from the word Taixiao on the green robe on the girl's body that the girl was a student of Taixiao Li Palace. Over the years, Taixiao Li Palace was also on the list of invitations by Qingteng Sword Academy. However, the number of students from Taixiao Li Palace came to Taixiao Li Palace in the past few years, and he had never seen this girl.
"She is my sister, Xie Rou, her name is very soft, but she is not gentle at all." Xie Changsheng said softly with a bitter face.
Xu Heshan couldn't understand and thought to himself that even if he was a sister, he wouldn't have to be afraid of being like this.
"I can't beat her, and we are studying outside. My father asked her to take charge of the money. I want to withdraw it from her..." Xie Changsheng seemed to know Xu Heshan's heart and added softly.
Xu Heshan's eyes suddenly felt relieved, and he felt full of sympathy for Xie Changsheng. After all, he was used to Xie Changsheng's method of spending money like soil. If Xie Changsheng, who was used to losing money, had no money to lose, it would be really uncomfortable. Maybe he would feel uncomfortable all over and affect his cultivation.
"Then what happened to her calling you Xie Changsheng?" Looking at the tall girl with an angry look on her face, Xu Heshan lowered his voice a little and asked.
Xie Changsheng's face turned even more bitter: "My real name is Xie Changsheng... but I think this name is too rustic, so I changed it to Xie Changsheng."
Xu Heshan was stunned, "It's rustic enough." But he immediately said seriously: "But no matter how rustic it is, the name given by his father cannot be changed casually."
"What are you changing? Have you changed your name?" Xie Rou was already close at this moment. When she heard Xu Heshan's words vaguely, she immediately raised her eyebrows and looked at Xie Changsheng with a frosty face, and said sternly: "You are so brave!"
“Where do I have it.”
Xie Changsheng's face looked extremely ugly and said, "Who doesn't know that my name is Xie Changsheng."
When Xu Heshan heard this, his mouth twitched slightly, and he wanted to laugh but didn't dare.
From then on, Xie Changsheng may have to restore his real name to Xie Changsheng.
"Is that true?"
Xie Rou looked at her younger brother Xie Changsheng with a gloomy face, who was not very good in her eyes, "Then you shout a few words here, my name is Xie Changsheng."
Xie Changsheng, who was the one who was now, was immediately angry and shouted: "Sister! What are you doing? Isn't it just a bet with someone? After all, Ding Ning is still a half-day Tongxuan, so he doesn't necessarily lose!"
"If you are an ordinary city-born person, you have no noble people, and the clans are supporting you, and I heard that you have suffered serious injuries in the previous storm." Xie Rou, the tall and domineering girl, had a sarcastic smile on her face, "If this is the case, you can break the realm and refine your energy in one month, then I will simply let him be your brother-in-law."
“…”
The entrance of the mountain gate of Qingteng Sword Courtyard was completely silent.
Everyone was speechless.
Isn’t Xie Changsheng’s sister Xie Rou herself? Xie Rou said that if Ding Ning’s talent is really so amazing, she would marry Ding Ning?
I often hear people say that the women in Guanzhong are heroic, but now it seems that they are really different from the women around Changling... Even though this is just an angry word to teach my own brother a lesson, such words are still a little too amazing in Changling.
"It's really amazing, no wonder you're afraid of her." Xu Heshan swallowed hard, and couldn't help but whisper softly beside Xie Changsheng's ear.
...
"Senior Brother, how can Junior Brother Ding Ning be able to cultivate?" At this time, in the Aries Cave, many students surrounded Zhang Yi and were asking about Ding Ning's cultivation.
"It's very difficult." Zhang Yi couldn't help but look at the direction of the thatched cottage hidden in the mountain gorge. He understood the emotions of these students. From the beginning of questioning Ding Ning, many students in Aries Cave have high expectations for Ding Ning, but he still explained to the truth: "He opened the Jade Palace in the middle of the moon, and at this speed of the five qi running, unless his practice progresses to the extreme, and like when he was half a day of Xuanxuan, there were not many obstacles in breaking the realm, so he could break through to the Qi Refining Realm today."
Hearing Zhang Yi's explanations, the students of Aries Cave who surrounded him and asked were somewhat disappointed.
...
In the quiet thatched cottage, Ding Ning is practicing calmly.
The Jade Palace deep in the Qi Sea has been completely lit up by the colorful vital energy. At this moment, the five qi flowing in his Qi Sea have flowed upward from the Jade Palace, forming a Qi column, facing the top of the Qi Sea in a slow and unusually stable state, the brightest space is approaching the top of the Qi Sea.
The brightest space is Tianjiao.
At this moment, the top of the air column was only a slight distance from that bright space.
Just as the students of Aries Cave surrounding Zhang Yi dissipated in disappointment, the last trace of distance slowly disappeared under the slow and steady movement of the air column.
Ding Ning's body shook slightly.
The Qihai, Jade Palace, and Heavenly Orifices are completely connected.
The five energy flows down from the orifices of heaven like a waterfall, flowing continuously.
Without any hysteresis or any obstacles, under the guidance of Ding Ning's mind power, part of the five qi running in the Zhoutian began to condense in a mysterious way.
Some milky white true qi, many times heavier than the five qi in the body, began to generate and settle down.
The Qi Sea began to change, from the initial five qi to the beginning to the fullness of this true qi.
This is the Qi Refining Realm.
At this moment, many people were talking about his practice. Even Senior Brother Zhang Yi, who had always favored him, had no confidence in his breakthrough realm. The students at the gate of Qingteng Jianyuan Mountain thought this was impossible.
However, no one knows that this is inevitable for Ding Ning.
This is just a step-by-step and planned thing.
So just this afternoon, when many people were still arguing about this matter, Ding Ning quietly broke the situation in this quiet thatched cottage.
