Chapter 2214: A Story Across the Earth's Center (186)
Chapter 2215: The Story of Crossing the Earth's Center (1/86)
Faced with such a terrifying opponent full of unknowns, Zhi Jiunian knew that his plan could no longer proceed smoothly.
In addition, there was also the involvement of a powerful chaebol such as Huaguo Shuilian Group. Even if the capital behind them was strong, how could they compete with the leading elixir enterprise that was now flourishing.
"It's only the last step..." Zhi Jiunian couldn't help but sigh.
He leaned against the tree behind him with a weak back. He had never felt so tired. He thought that the boat had passed through thousands of mountains, but he didn't expect to overturn at the last step.
Now that Sun Rong and Wang Ling found him and mentioned the construction of the formation, Zhi Jiunian knew that he could not hide this matter even if he wanted to pretend to be confused.
He could only.
Confess everything he knew to Wang Ling and Sun Rong.
Just as Wang Ling investigated, the purpose of building the formation was to drain the entire Songhai underground spiritual veins, and only in this way could the ultimate goal of Zhi Jiunian and the mastermind behind it be achieved at the same time.
That is - while preventing Songhai from sending elite high school students to infiltrate the inner world, the passage to the inner world can be opened first!
"So it's a battle for the inner world?" Sun Rong was stunned when she heard this.
These days, she came out of retreat mountain early after she was promoted to Jindan, and she and Wang Ling accidentally ran into this suspicious thing on the way to visit Lao Huang.
Although Sun Rong vaguely felt that this matter might be related to the inner world through some inferences from the details, she was still a little shocked when she heard Zhi Jiunian say this in person.
"The resources in the inner world are very rich. Have you thought about the consequences of doing this?" Sun Rong asked.
These days, Huaxiu Country has been selecting talents from major elite colleges and universities within Songhai. On the surface, it is to launch a new round of college ranking tests with the theme of the Earth's Core World. In fact, the fundamental purpose is to lay the foundation for Huaxiu Country's voice in the Earth's Core World in advance.
After all, on the current upgraded Earth, Huaxiu Country is the first cultivation country with the complete ability to open up a passage to the Earth's Core World independently, without a doubt.
For this reason, other powerful cultivation countries such as Mixiu have been "working hard" to master the secret method to the Earth's Core World in recent days, but it is in vain after all.
The cultivators of Huaxiu Country are still very vigilant about these spies hiding around them.
But Wang Ling did not expect that there would be such a group of domestic cultivators who want to enter the Earth's Core World in advance directly by their own strength.
"Of course I know the consequences, but wealth and honor are sought in danger."
Zhi Jiunian said: "Besides, as far as I know, the boss behind the scenes is not trying to obtain resources from the Earth's Core World."
"Not for resources? Then why go to the Earth's Core World?" Sun Rong asked curiously.
"The spiritual energy in the inner world far exceeds that on the surface. I'm sure Miss Sun Rong is also very clear about this."
Zhi Jiunian said: "The reason why the spiritual energy in the inner world is always rich is that since the first spiritual energy revival on Earth, it has had cultivators. Whenever a cultivator dies on Earth, part of his spiritual energy returns to the dust and merges with the Earth."
"With the continuous accumulation over the years, the concentration of spiritual energy in the inner world far exceeds that on the surface. That's why many rare resources appear in the inner world."
"Of course, in addition to resources, there are some other things, such as..."
"Spirit."
Wang Ling answered calmly.
"As expected of a senior, you are knowledgeable."
Zhi Jiunian said: "The boss behind me went to the inner world to... find her brother's spirit."
"For her brother's spirit?"
Sun Rong frowned.
"Yes."
Zhi Jiunian sighed and began to tell the story he knew.
There was once a boy who fell in love. He was a true boxing genius. His boxing skills were at their peak. At the age of 21, he received the attention of Wu Sheng, one of the ten generals, in the physical competition in the whole Huaxiu country. The prize money of various competitions also made him accumulate a considerable amount of wealth at such a young age.
His family background was not high, and he could have used the prize money to live a richer life and achieve more.
Until...
A girl named Su Jinxiang appeared in his life.
For the boy who had always focused on his own practice and had never come into contact with the opposite sex, the appearance of Su Jinxiang was like a new beam of light in his life, illuminating his past and present.
Such warmth, I am afraid, can only be experienced by those who have never really fallen in love.
From the first second he fell in love with Su Jinxiang, the boy tried his best to be better to her.
Whenever Su Jinxiang said that his practice resources were poor, he would not hesitate to hand over a large part of the spirit stones he had accumulated over the years to help her practice.
He does not ask for anything in return, and every time he helps with the spirit stone, he will label it as a voluntary gift.
Whenever Su Jinxiang says that he cannot accept the pain of being separated from the person he loves.
The boy will step on the spirit sword and travel through mountains and rivers to pursue his beloved girl.
In order to be closer to his beloved girl and to give Su Jinxiang more help in life, he lives in the cheapest house in another strange city and eats the cheapest fasting pills...
The boy thought that every time he gave his sincere efforts, it was worth it, but what he never expected was that all his sincerity would only bring him deeper hurt.
Everything he gave, all his sincerity, did not shake the sincerity of Su Jinxiang's soul.
She continued to play with him, and trampled his dignity and sincerity under her high heels with deception again and again...
In the end, the boy, who was only 21 years old, chose to end his life in the most regrettable way at an age when he should have blossomed.
And the woman Su Jinxiang who had always deceived him never had any regrets.
It also proved a saying that in a relationship, only the sincere party is always the most vulnerable...
...
Zhi Jiunian finished the story, which made the already sentimental Sun Rong's nose sour, and tears kept rolling in her eyes.
At the moment after listening to the story, even Wang Ling, who had always been dull and difficult to love, was inevitably touched.
He even hoped that Zhi Jiunian made up such a story to deceive them.
But it was a pity.
Wang Ling, who can see through everything, knows that everything Zhi Jiunian said at this moment is true...
The boy who has always been obsessed with love in the story was finally hurt by love and chose to sleep forever.
