Chapter 126: The Eve of the Grand Competition
Chapter 126
Thank you brothers for your support yesterday, johnson9914 Sky Sword socai~~ I will remember it, I will add more to you next time~~
Although Ling Xiao scolded the green man a few words, he was still upset in his heart, and secretly said, "Sooner or later, you old guy will spit out the milk of the Wannian tree".
Ling Xiao calmed down, and took out the two Mengmeng flowers from the space ring.
"I didn't expect to get such a good thing at the auction." Ling Xiao looked at the two flowers with bright eyes.
If others knew that Ling Xiao took Yinfengcao to auction for these two Mengmeng flowers, they would definitely think Ling Xiao was crazy. In the eyes of others, one Yinfeng grass can at least surpass ten Wenmeng flowers, but Ling Xiao is complacent after changing two, so it's no wonder that others don't call him stupid.
But is Ling Xiao really out of his mind?
Of course not, the value of this Wenmeng flower is indeed not as good as the Yinfeng grass, but Ling Xiao's purpose is not for these two flowers, what he mainly wants are the stems of these two flowers.
We all know the efficacy of Wenmeng flower, but no one knows the function of the stem of Wenmeng Hua, not even recorded in "Ling Cao Lu", but Ling Xiao knows the stem of Wenmeng flower from "Alchemy Jue" It is called "Storm Stem", and it is the main material for refining the third-grade elixir, "Storm Spirit Pill".
However, Ling Xiao didn't come here to refine the Violent Spirit Pill.
The reason why the stalk of Wenmenghua is called "violent stem" is because the stalk is full of violent elements. If it is taken directly, one's mental power will instantly skyrocket, allowing people to break through their own strength in a short time. shackles.
There are advantages and disadvantages of taking this "Storm Stem", that is, the user will be tortured by the pain of thousands of needles, and those who are not strong enough will have insanity, so that they will become an idiot in the end, and they will not be able to stand the torture if they are serious. The sea breaks and dies.
Therefore, almost no one dares to take this "violent stem" directly, and it is generally used to refine violent spirit pills.
However, Ling Xiao did what others thought was a lunatic. He actually pinched off a small piece of "storm" and chewed it.
Immediately afterwards, Ling Xiao sat up in meditation, and silently recited the formula of "Control Art" in his mind.
The subdued "violent stem" instantly turned into a burst of violent energy and rushed towards Ling Xiao's sea of consciousness.
As soon as those irritable energies arrived at the Lingxiao Consciousness Sea, they immediately expanded and expanded, and strands of energy dispersed into needles and spurred towards the surroundings of the Consciousness Sea.
ah ah!
Ling Xiao only felt that his mind was being tormented by thousands of needles. It felt like his head was about to explode, which made people feel overwhelmed with pain.
"Keep the universe in mind, stick to the unity..." Ling Xiao gritted his teeth, big sweat dripped from his face, mysterious handprints formed in his hands, and he kept chanting the formula in his heart.
Immediately, the irritable energy in Ling Xiao's sea of consciousness was calmed down and stopped spreading outward. Immediately afterwards, the scattered energy was wrapped together by an invisible spiritual force, so that they could not continue to stimulate the sea of consciousness, and then, as the invisible pressure increased, the irritable energy was squeezed into ten A few spots of milky white liquid dripped into the sea of consciousness.
After the sea of consciousness was stained with the lotion, the sea of consciousness became as white as the lotion, and with the falling of the more than a dozen points of lotion, the sea of consciousness gradually expanded by a quarter before stopping.
In a small emerald green tree beside the Sea of Consciousness, the green man is transforming the energy of green needles and silver, but he also feels the changes in Ling Xiao's Sea of Consciousness.
"What the hell is this kid doing, the sea of consciousness has liquefied!" the green man looked at the dozen or so milky white liquid in horror and murmured in horror.
The gray beads on the side also shook a few times, as if delighted by the changes in the Sea of Consciousness.
Ling Xiao was not aware of the changes in the sea of consciousness.
All he knew was that the pain in his head was gradually lessening until finally all pain was gone.
I don't know how long it took, Ling Xiao slowly opened his eyes, and two rays of light burst out, giving people an unfathomable feeling.
"Crack it for me." Ling Xiao stared at the lantern not far away, and gave a soft drink.
Snapped!
The lantern unexpectedly split in two without warning.
If this situation is seen by others, I'm afraid they will be shocked, because only those who have reached the spiritual master level can use the attack of mind pressure.
But how did Ling Xiao, who was only a mid-level Xuanshi, manage to attack with his mind like this?
Needless to say, this is all the magic of "God Control Art".
Just now Ling Xiao used his mind to attack the lantern. Mental power is an invisible existence that cannot be seen clearly with the naked eye. Only those with advanced spiritual power can sense it.
Ling Xiao smiled with satisfaction. He knew that his mental strength must have increased a lot. He believed that it would not be a problem to launch five attacks in one day, and the attack distance had increased from the original two meters to within three meters.
Don't underestimate the extra meter. If you practice normally, it will probably take Ling Xiao more than half a year to reach this level.
Attack power and attack range are changing with the improvement of mental power.
With Ling Xiao's strength at the moment, he is absolutely invincible below the Xuanshi rank, and facing the Spirit master rank, at least he has the means to save his life. As long as the opponent fails to attack and kill him immediately, he can definitely make the opponent unable to eat. .
Ling Xiao tasted the sweetness for the first time, and immediately swallowed the other half of the "Storm Stem".
At first it was another stabbing pain, but Ling Xiao quickly endured it.
Ling Xiao's tenacity was cultivated in his previous life. Except for being unable to bear the temptation of women, he can endure other things as long as he wants to, including the pain of thousands of needles.
Ling Xiao didn't know that he retreated this time and it took about ten days.
At this time, Meteorite City became more and more lively.
Because in three days' time, the whole city is about to usher in the prosperity of the city, the big family competition held every four years.
In the family competition, the top-ranked families in Meteorite City send representatives of the younger generation over the age of 25 to compete in the arena. This is not only to promote the style of martial arts in Meteorite City, but also to show the strength of the major families to the younger generation, so as to determine the potential of the major families in the future.
Of course, this is just the original intention of the competition, but as time goes by, this competition has gradually become a competition for the big families to compete for face and rank.
Whichever team wins the first place in the competition, and perhaps occupies the largest number of top ten players, represents which family's younger generation is strong, and also represents which family has the most honorable face.
Therefore, every year in the family competition, all the families above will send out their strongest young generation, which is bound to win a better ranking.
Since there are more than 30 big and small families in Meteorite City, the number of people for this competition is also stipulated. The three major families can send ten people each, the medium family can send five people, and the smallest family can send two people.
The family competition has gone through one hundred and twenty-five sessions and lasted for five hundred years.
In the past five hundred years, each of the three major families has occupied the most top ten rankings, and the Ling family has occupied the most times. It is not an exaggeration to say that the Ling family is the head of the three major families.
Every time there is a big competition, all the families will take out a part of their collections as notes and rewards.
This is also the practice of every competition.
Now the major families are preparing for the Grand Competition.
In a mountain ridge behind the inner courtyard of the Ling family, in a cave, a young man with a naked upper body exuded a shining golden light, as if a golden Buddha was born, which was extremely dazzling.
Outside the entrance of the cave, two guards guarded respectfully.
These two guards have the cultivation base of low-level Xuanshi.
"Young Master has made a breakthrough!" The eyes of the two guards showed surprise.
"What are you doing here?" A voice came from inside.
"Return to the young master, three days later is the day of the family competition, I am specially ordered by the elders to invite the young master to leave the customs," a guard replied with a bow.
The young man in the cave opened his gaze like a star, and with Gu Bo's expression on his face, he murmured, "Is it four years? Li Tianhao, please don't let me down."
Afterwards, the young man shot out from the entrance of the cave with a golden light like the sun, which was extremely dazzling, like a star piercing the sky, and galloped towards the Ling family's cabinet.
The two low-level Xuanshi behind him showed shock again, and then hurriedly chased after them.
At the same time, several figures shot out at the Ling family's closed places at the same time, at a speed no less than that of the young man in front.
Some guards on patrol noticed it, but when they saw clearly who was coming, they quickly bowed and saluted.
...
The Li family in the north of the city.
In a sunny mountainside, there is also a naked young man sitting cross-legged on a fire lotus altar. The flames around the fire lotus altar were burning and flickering, but the young people in it didn't seem to feel hot and hot, and they were still practicing with their eyes closed.
If it were an ordinary person, he would have died if he hadn't been burned to death, but that young man acted as if nothing had happened.
I don't know how long it took, the young body trembled slightly, and then he yelled loudly. One, like the children of the sun.
I saw him wave one hand, and a flame roared towards the trees in front like a dragon.
Boom!
In an instant, the hit trees were blasted into powder, and the surrounding trees were also burned by the flames.
When the young man landed on the ground, the surrounding flames instantly disappeared.
"It's almost time, buddy, it's time for you to go out and drink blood." The young man with a flaming glow looked up to the sky, and after muttering something, with a move in his hand, a flaming glow broke through the ground and went away.
A long sword exuding blue flames fell into the young man's hand.
If anyone is here, they will be shocked to find that this young man is holding a third-tier fire attribute profound weapon!
...
In the other direction, in a separate building at the back of Luo's inner courtyard, a very ordinary-looking young man was scratching his hair worrying.
"Damn it, four years have passed so quickly, I'm still standing still, this time I will definitely lose badly this time," the young man said to himself with a droopy face, then walked to the window and looked at another building not far away In the middle, I saw a strong blue light emitting from there.
Although it was only fleeting, it alarmed many members of the Luo family.
The ordinary young man looked at the Qingmang and opened his mouth wide and whispered, "Brother broke through again, it's too shocking!".
At the same time, the younger generations of some middle and large aristocratic families broke through the retreat one after another, all for the grand event held every four years.
This family competition will definitely cause a wonderful battle between dragons and tigers.
