I am a cannon fodder, so what's wrong with grabbing an opportunity?

Jing Kun stood in front of Zhao Qiu, carefully observing her practice method.

He couldn't wait for Zhao Qiu to wake up so that he could practice her skills.

But he suppressed this feeling and told himself not to disturb Zhao Qiu, because haste makes waste.

He wanted to know the limits of this technique and how far it could help him.

In the past two months, Zhao Qiu's cultivation has been improved from the middle stage of foundation building to the late stage of foundation building.

It cost him nearly 100,000 spirit stones, but he was very satisfied with the results.

Jing Kun was in high spirits when he came out of the yard where Zhao Qiu was recuperating.

As soon as the guard at the door saw him, he immediately stepped forward to report that Qian Mian, the head of Qianjin Pavilion, wanted to see him.

"No." Jing Kun knew what Qian Mian was here for, so he refused immediately.

The guard hesitated for a moment and said, "But he said there's no rush. He'll leave whenever you see him."

Seeing Qian Mian's firm attitude, Jing Kun decided to meet him.

In the front hall, Qian Mian had already changed five cups of tea.

"Master Qian, how come you have time to sit here with me today?" Jing Kun didn't feel the slightest bit guilty for keeping Qian Mian waiting for so long.

"No one comes to see you for no reason. You must have something to ask for."

Qian Mian did not immediately ask about Zhao Qiu's situation, but first discussed with Jing Kun the areas that needed to be supplemented in the cooperation transaction.

After finishing the serious business, Qian Mian asked about Zhao Qiu's situation.

"Special Envoy Zhao is now in seclusion helping me refine treasures. She hasn't come out for a long time. But don't worry, in my City Lord's Mansion, no one dares to touch her under my nose."

Jing Kun looked like he had an open mind and he valued Zhao Qiu very much, it didn't seem like he was acting.

He originally wanted to ask Jing Kun to help him convey a message to Zhao Qiu and report to Zhao Mu that they were safe, but after thinking about it, he decided not to.

It is not known whether Zhao Qiu stayed voluntarily or was forced to stay. It is better to try not to let Zhao Mu and the other person appear in front of Jing Kun, so as to prevent them from being used to threaten Zhao Qiu.

Jing Kun also noticed Qian Mian's tangled look and said, "If the Pavilion Master is worried, you can come with me to take a look."

Take a look, and once you're relieved, don't come here to cause trouble again.

The backyard of the city lord's mansion.

Xie Zhiqiu's eyelids moved slightly, but he did not wake up.

When she was first injured, she woke up, but then for some reason, she suddenly couldn't wake up.

This inability to wake up is physical, not spiritual.

The spiritual consciousness is trapped in the sea of ​​​​consciousness. It can detect the meridians of the body, but it cannot wake up.

At first she tried to break free and wake up, but later she gave up. Since she couldn't get out and it wouldn't affect her cultivation, she decided to just practice.

Later on, she could even detect situations outside her body. When she saw Jing Kun in front of her, she looked strange and was afraid that she would be killed.

But what she worried about did not happen. Instead, Jing Kun replenished his spirit stones every day.

From what he said, she understood that Jing Kun was attracted by her martial arts.

Then she wouldn't have to worry at all that Jing Kun would kill her. It just so happened that she couldn't wake up, so it wouldn't be too much to get some spirit stones for free.

Moreover, she wanted to get more for free and for longer, so she had been suppressing her own realm, intending to reach the Golden Core Realm in one fell swoop.

That day, she felt another aura besides Jing Kun, which was somewhat familiar yet not quite familiar.

Isn’t this Mr. Qian? He left after staying for a short while.

She didn't take it to heart.

As spring went and autumn came, Xie Zhiqiu didn't know how long he had been getting it for free.

That day, Jing Kun came to check on Zhao Qiu's condition again. Except for the second month, when Zhao Qiu advanced to the late stage of foundation building, there had been no changes since then.

If she hadn't absorbed so much spiritual energy from spirit stones every day, he would have suspected that she was dying.

Over the past six months, he has spent 500,000 top-grade spirit stones. If she doesn't advance, he might have to consider withdrawing the supply.

The resources consumed by the advancement of the five spiritual roots cultivation are indeed more than those of others, but he invested so much and only advanced to the first level. The more he thought about it, the angrier he became.

At the same time, Xie Zhiqiu felt that he could no longer suppress the surging spiritual energy in his body.

With a "bang", the spiritual power in Xie Zhiqiu's dantian rushed out of his body, broke through the roof, and soared into the sky.

Such a big commotion immediately attracted everyone's attention.

The people guarding outside Zhao Qiu's yard did not go in to check the situation.

The city lord has ordered that no one should be allowed in no matter what happens.

Moreover, in Hibi Castle, no one has been able to hurt the city lord.

Jing Kun stood in front of Zhao Qiu and took several steps back to the door of the room.

Seeing Zhao Qiu's cultivation level advance from the late stage of foundation building to the great perfection of foundation building and still rising steadily, he was ecstatic.

Unbridled laughter spread out of the yard, and the guards outside were confused.

It turns out that it is not completely useless, it is the result of long-term accumulation.

Watching Zhao Qiu's advancement, Jing Kun felt that he was also making progress, and soon he realized that Zhao Qiu was about to break through to the great perfection of foundation building.

Immediately exit the yard and open the door: "Everyone evacuate this place."

At the command, everyone evacuated quickly.

The sky was covered with dark clouds, thunder rumbled, and the whole city was shrouded in darkness.

People in the city were talking about it.

"Who dares to break through in the city? Aren't you afraid of being chopped?"

"That direction seems to be the City Lord's Mansion."

"Could it be the city lord?"

"You are stupid. The city lord has already broken through the realm, and he has not yet passed the tribulation in the city."

Qianjin Pavilion.

"Xiao Mu, do you think Sister Qiu will be okay in the City Lord's Mansion?" Chao Yun asked nervously, grabbing Chao Mu's hand.

Chaomu looked in the direction of the City Lord's Mansion. After a long while, he replied, "It will be fine."

Jing Kun looked at the thunder in the sky that was ready to strike, and was horrified.

With a loud bang, a bolt of lightning struck straight towards the courtyard where Zhao Qiu was.

In an instant, dozens of courtyards around Zhao Qiu were razed to the ground.

This first thunderbolt was already far more powerful than all the Jindan realm thunderbolts he had ever seen in his life.

With a loud bang, another bolt of lightning struck down, but Zhao Qiu remained motionless.

There were nine consecutive thunders, but Xie Zhiqiu did not stand up.

She wanted to get up very much, but her body was completely out of control and she couldn't move at all.

In Jing Kun's eyes, Zhao Qiu's martial arts was so overbearing that it could even ignore thunder tribulations.

He is determined to obtain this technique which has the same origin as the Five Elements Spirit Adjustment Technique.

Nine more thunders fell one after another, as if as punishment for Xie Zhiqiu for ignoring them.

This twenty-nine thunder tribulation was beyond Jing Kun's expectations. He took a step forward, wanting to block it for Zhao Qiu.

However, reason stopped him. If he stepped into the minefield, he would be regarded as an obstacle, which would directly increase the intensity of the thunder tribulation, and Zhao Qiu would definitely die.

Fortunately, after the 29th thunder tribulation, Xie Zhiqiu regained control of his body.

When everyone thought that the 29th thunder tribulation of the golden elixir was over, the tribulation clouds did not disperse, but gathered more.

This was far beyond Xie Zhiqiu's expectations, and he couldn't care less.

He immediately mobilized all his spiritual power to attack the heavenly thunder.

After avoiding the first one, Xie Zhiqiu took advantage of the gap to eat a handful of elixirs, flew into the air, and fought against the thunder again. In this way, he successfully took on the first four thunders.

When the fifth thunder struck, Xie Zhiqiu overestimated himself and was struck to the ground, spitting out a large mouthful of blood.

He took out his black iron wooden sword from the storage ring, stood up, and took the next four thunders.
