Luck taken away? It doesn't matter, I quietly become a god
Chapter 390: The inside story of the Xiao family's internal turmoil, Leng Mingjing's plot
When Rong Shu and Wu Hua arrived at a private room in a restaurant, they saw Lin Jingyue, whom they hadn't seen for many days.
"Sister, what do you want from me?"
In addition to Lin Jingyue, there was also a strange middle-aged man in the private room.
Rong Shu looked at him curiously for a few times, guessing that this person might be from Senior Sister's family. Could he be here to take Senior Sister home?
At this time, the middle-aged man was also looking at the two of them calmly...especially Wu Hua who came in later.
When Lin Jingyue saw Rong Shu, her eyes curved and she was the first to congratulate him:
"Congratulations, Junior Sister, for advancing to the semi-finals. Maybe you can even win the championship this time. Our Zhanming Mountain has never produced a champion in the main competition area of the Heroes Conference."
Rong Shu blinked, a little embarrassed: "Senior sister has such confidence in me, then I must work hard to win the first place."
Rong Shu only knew that besides herself, only her fourth senior brother Xiao Zian had participated in the gathering of heroes on Zhanming Mountain. However, he was an alchemist and won the championship in the alchemy division that year, but he was eliminated in the top four in the main competition area.
At that time, Xiao Zian had just entered the early stage of the Nascent Soul stage. Due to his bad luck, he encountered cultivators in the late stage of the Nascent Soul stage for four consecutive rounds in the elimination rounds.
After Xiao Zian used all his means to defeat the first three late Nascent Soul cultivators, he ultimately lost to the fourth late Nascent Soul cultivator because his injuries had not fully recovered and his trump card was exposed too early, and unfortunately stopped in the semi-finals.
But such a record is enough to be proud of.
After all, Xiao Zian came from the Xiao family, so naturally he had been practicing the art of alchemy since he was a child. He spent a lot of time and energy on refining pills and managing the Alchemist Guild. Although his cultivation was not high, he was able to defeat his opponents time and time again, which was unexpected time and time again.
During the final semi-finals that year, many cultivators speculated that if Xiao Zian could be given more time to fully recover from his injuries, the outcome might still be unknown.
It’s a pity that after Xiao Zian won the championship in the alchemy division, he could no longer participate in the next gathering of heroes. This speculation is ultimately just a speculation and will never come true.
Because of the long-standing rules of the Heroes Conference, any contestant who has won the first prize, whether in the main competition area or the regional competition, does not need to participate in future Heroes Conferences, so as to leave some opportunities for others.
In the same way, if Rong Shu does not win the championship in this main competition area, when she goes to participate in the regional competition, if she accidentally wins the championship there, she will not be able to participate in the next competition.
"Sister, why don't you place a bet on me to win? I promise not to let you lose money~"
Adhering to the principle of keeping things within the family, Rong Shu quietly gave Lin Jingyue some suggestions.
Lin Jingyue pursed her lips and smiled. She turned her head and looked at the middle-aged man next to her: "Uncle He, you heard everything. Go and help me stake some spirit stones to help my little sister win the championship."
The middle-aged man nodded: "Yes, Miss."
Now, having gotten Lin Jingyue's approval, the middle-aged man is no longer afraid that Lin Jingyue will disappear again.
After all, the eldest lady he knew always kept her word and kept her word.
After the middle-aged man left, Lin Jingyue's smile faded a little, and she said solemnly: "Junior sister, I asked you to come here because I have something to ask of you."
"Please speak, Senior Sister."
"Did you get the Wind Spirit Tribulation Fruit and the Fire Spirit Tribulation Fruit before? After taking them, something abnormal happened, and two more 'little elves' transformed from the Spirit Tribulation Fruit appeared."
"Yes."
Rong Shu basically stayed in Zhanming Mountain to practice. Leng Mingjing and others noticed some abnormalities in her. After all, they were together day and night, so it was hard for them not to know.
Later, Rong Shu did not deliberately conceal his peculiarity and summoned the Wind Spirit and the Fire Spirit several times, and was seen by Leng Mingjing and others.
Hearing Rong Shu's affirmative answer, Lin Jingyue's face relaxed slightly, and then he waved his hand, and a square box appeared on the table.
When the box was opened, cold air emanated from the contents of the box, and soon a thin layer of frost formed on the table.
Rong Shu took a closer look and was a little surprised.
"Ice Spirit Tribulation Fruit?"
As soon as Lin Jingyue took it out, Rong Shu recognized it as the Ice Spirit Tribulation Fruit, after all, she had eaten it before.
Lin Jingyue pushed the Ice Spirit Tribulation Fruit in front of Rong Shu and said, "Junior Sister, I hope you can refine this Ice Spirit Tribulation Fruit and get another ice-attributed elf. The family technique I practice has some flaws. The pills made by Zi'an can only help me make up for most of the flaws. If I want to make up for it completely, I still need one last step."
Lin Jingyue told Rong Shu the whole story.
Now, after taking Xiao Zian's elixir, Lin Jingyue felt that her cultivation level, which had been stagnant at the late stage of refining emptiness for many years, had begun to loosen.
She can now enter the fusion stage without relying on the dual cultivation method.
However, before Lin Jingyue could be happy for too long, Xiao Zian told her another piece of news:
The effect of the elixir was limited because the original recipe contained several kinds of spiritual herbs that have now become extinct. He was only able to succeed in refining it by replacing them with other spiritual herbs.
Therefore, Lin Jingyue can only rely on herself to break through to the Fusion Stage at present, but to the Mahayana Stage... the effect of the elixir is not enough, and she still cannot be promoted to the Mahayana Stage.
With the cultivation level at the fusion stage, he would be the backbone of any second-tier force in Zhongzhou.
But for the Lin family, one of the six great families, it is still not enough.
In response to this issue, Xiao Zian did a lot of research in private, and read almost all the relevant books in the Xiao family and Zhanming Mountain twice.
Finally, Xiao Zian came up with a solution.
The reason why the elixir is not effective enough is that it is unable to completely remove the cold and yin energy that has accumulated in Lin Jingyue's body over the years of practicing family skills.
If it could be removed with another extremely cold and pure thing, perhaps Lin Jingyue would be able to break the upper limit again and have a chance to advance to the Mahayana stage in the future.
And the little elves that were born when Rong Shu took the Lingjie Fruit were pure creatures that are rarely seen in this world.
Like a fire spirit, it is an extremely yang and pure thing.
By the same token, the ice spirit that is born will be the extremely cold and pure thing that Lin Jingyue needs.
After listening to Lin Jingyue's story, Rong Shu scratched his head: "This... So Senior Sister wants me to refine this Ice Spirit Tribulation Fruit now? Give birth to an Ice Spirit?"
"Junior sister, I asked Zi'an. Although the cold energy is a 'bad disease' that torments any cultivator, the Ice Spirit is an extremely cold and pure substance. The cold energy will not harm it, and naturally it will not harm you, the host. On the contrary, it is a tonic."
Lin Jingyue stood up and bowed to Rong Shu: "If you still have any concerns, I am here, as the eldest daughter of the Lin family, to ask for your help with cultivation resources worth 50 million spirit stones."
This gift not only represents Lin Jingyue, but also represents the wishes of most of the Lin family.
Hearing this, Rong Shu quickly moved aside to avoid Lin Jingyue's greeting and explained helplessly:
"Senior Sister, I'm not unwilling, but I may not need the Ice Spirit Tribulation Fruit you prepared." Rong Shu pushed the box containing the Ice Spirit Tribulation Fruit back.
"I have already refined the Ice Spirit Tribulation Fruit and have the Ice Spirit."
As he spoke, Rong Shu summoned out the shyest Ice Spirit in his body.
"Senior Sister, if you need me and Bing Ling to do anything, just tell us and we will do our best."
"And these cultivation resources are no longer needed. I don't need them now. When I need them, I will definitely be shameless and ask Senior Sister for them."
When he said the last sentence, Rong Shu acted a little childishly and acted coquettishly towards Lin Jingyue.
Lin Jingyue chuckled: "Okay, as long as Junior Sister wants something, you can come to me anytime."
"Senior Sister, shall we start now?" Rong Shu was already eager to try.
Hearing this, Lin Jingyue shook her head and said, "No hurry. Help me get rid of the cold energy. Let's talk about it after you finish participating in the Heroes Conference. Although Zi'an said that this will have no effect on you and will only benefit you, just in case, we still can't delay your competition."
Rong Shu nodded: "Okay, then let's wait until the Heroes Conference is over."
Lin Jingyue turned her head and looked at Wu Hua, her expression softened. "Wu Hua, take Junior Sister back first. She has a competition tomorrow and needs to rest well tonight."
"Ah."
Wu Hua responded lightly: "Then we will leave first."
"..."
After the two left, Lin Jingyue leaned against the window, looking at the backs of the two people flying on swords in the sky, and sighed quietly in her heart: "Wuhua, it seems that your choice to let Shushu join Zhanming Mountain was not wrong..."
She is fine.
If Rong Shu's appearance had not been able to change the drawbacks of the family's martial arts, she would have just accepted the family's arrangement and married a member of the Yan family.
But Zi'an's side... is in a fatal disaster.
Lin Jingyue still remembers that when Fourth Junior Brother Xiao Zian first went up the mountain, his master told him his fortune.
Xiao Zian was born with few family ties, and was destined to suffer a disaster in his life, in which he would die because of the betrayal of his closest blood relatives.
But no one on the Killing Mountain could stop it.
Because even if it is stopped once, there will be a next time, and it may even make the situation worse.
When the Beidou Secret Realm was closed, Leng Mingjing realized in advance that Xiao Zian's doom was approaching, so he deliberately asked Lin Jingyue to take Wu Hua away from Zhanming Mountain in advance on the pretext of looking for rare elixirs, and stay away from the Shenfeng Realm, so that they would not be able to return in time in a short time.
Leng Mingjing had calculated it accurately. Although Wu Hua usually disliked Xiao Zian, when the critical moment came, he would definitely disregard everything and interfere with Xiao Zian's fate, forcibly changing his fate and suffering the backlash of fate.
Although Leng Mingjing did not leave the Killing Mountain, he had planned everything in secret.
He controlled Xiao Zian's place of disaster in the main residence of the Xiao family, betting that the ancestor of the Xiao family would come to the rescue at the last critical moment.
Xiao Ziyan, who was already dead and was bent on seizing the spiritual roots and the status of the young master of the Xiao family, still really thought that his private calculations were flawless and seamless. He falsely conveyed Xiao Zian's order and transferred all of Xiao Zian's trusted elders out of the Xiao family's main residence before taking action against Xiao Zian.
Little did he know that Leng Mingjing had intercepted his fake order full of loopholes in advance, and used the young master's order left by Xiao Zian on the Killing Mountain to issue another "fake" order before transferring the person away.
Since it is destiny that Xiao Zian will die at the hands of his closest blood relative, Leng Mingjing is unable to stop it. He can only control the overall situation and keep a firm grasp on every detail.
And the final crucial step is to break the impasse with ease.
Previously, there was the incomplete pill recipe brought by Rong Shu, which helped Xiao Zian improve his spiritual roots.
Later, Rong Shu caused a big disturbance in the Xiao family and laid all his conspiracies and plots out in the open, leaving those rats in the dark with nowhere to hide and no way to escape.
Leng Mingjing needs Rong Shu to make a big fuss, so that Xiao Zian can justify himself in eliminating dissidents in the family and all dangerous factors.
At that time, even if Rong Shu did not hide her cultivation level and threatened the Xiao family with the thunder tribulation during her Nascent Soul breakthrough, she still had Yan Yan, who had been hiding her skills, by her side and could save Rong Shu's life at the critical moment.
Of course, this is not very safe.
Therefore, Leng Mingjing provoked Gu Chen with his words several times because he knew that after Rong Shu entered the Zhanming Mountain, he had practiced the divine wind archery with Gu Chen.
Gu Chen is the second line of insurance to save Rong Shu's life.
Divine wind archery, chasing the wind and the sun.
Kill enemies thousands of miles away in an instant.
"..."
Lin Jingyue always recalled that in order to ensure that Xiao Zian could successfully cope with the disaster, Leng Mingjing had arranged many things over the years, one thing after another, and everyone was taken into account.
Such a scheming and cunning mansion, planning and strategizing...
Everyone outside speculated that Leng Mingjing had been hiding in Zhanming Mountain for many years and had long lost the youthful spirit and demeanor that enabled him to overpower his peers.
Little did they know that Leng Mingjing was just hiding in the dark, setting up a huge chess game.
"Big Brother, you have taken all of our lives into consideration and have taken great pains to plan everything... What about your own..."
"Big Brother, what is your fate?"
"..."
