Turned a corner while ascending

Jin Que and others followed Jiang Zhishan into the Zhangshitang.

It was Elder Huang who received them. Elder Huang was very polite when he saw the four of them, and took them directly to the second floor.

The space on the second floor is larger than the first floor, and there are many locked rooms. Elder Huang led four people into one of them. Inside, there are two huge stone walls standing against the wall, both of which are white, which is where the spirit stones of the base are placed. Just different.

One of the stone walls was very familiar, and Bai Zhizhuo suddenly remembered that he had used a force-measuring stone in the martial arts field of Helai Mountain. Even the physical strength of the peak fourth grade could not break the stone wall, but Jin once said that the force-measuring stone had undergone special sacrifices. Almost the hardest thing in the world.If it is not really difficult to carry, there will definitely be many people who hold the force measuring stone as a magic weapon.

"The other one is the magic stone," Jin said in a low voice, "it's similar to the power stone, but it's used to measure mana."

Bai Zhizhuo nodded to show he knew.

Jiang Zhishan took the lead, standing in front of the force measuring stone, squatting in a horse stance, and pounding out a punch, the force measuring stone lit up white, green, blue, and yellow in sequence.Finally settled in dark yellow.

"Peak of the fourth rank." Elder Huang said cheerfully, "Jiang Zhishan, it's not bad, it's a step ahead of ten years, let's try to test the magic stone."

Jiang Zhishan nodded, walked up to the magic-testing stone, held his breath, stretched out his finger, and the very familiar...spiritual force group left his fingertips with difficulty.

The group of spiritual powers was extremely dazzling, and as soon as it came into contact with the magic stone, it dissolved into it. At the same time, the magic stone lit up in white, green, blue, and yellow, and finally settled in light yellow.

"Fourth Grade Elementary Level." Elder Huang comforted, "Don't be discouraged. Although our swordsmen's magic power is not as good as that of Dharma Cultivators, our attack power is even better."

Jiang Zhishan nodded without showing any special emotion.

But Jin felt that Elder Huang was very warm and considerate, and he knew how to comfort others.

Finally, Elder Huang said: "Both are fourth grade, Jiang Zhishan's grade remains the same, the next one."

"Let me come." Ye Buwang arrived first, then raised his chin towards Jin Que, almost wagging his tail to the front of the power measuring stone, and punched out, the peak of the third rank.

Then there is the magic stone, which is still a group of spiritual power, without any fancy, the group of spiritual power swings on the stone, and finally makes a third-grade middle-level evaluation.

"Ye Buwang, the third grade will remain the same as the sample level. The younger generation is not bad, the next time the test is unsure, it will have to become the fourth grade." Elder Huang stroked his beard and smiled.

"Thank you, Elder Huang, for your good words." Ye Buwang raised his tail, smiled at the corner of his mouth, swayed and stretched his arms around Jin Que's thin shoulders, and boasted, "Junior Brother Jin Que, I will cover you at the outer door from now on. Remember to report my name if you ask for trouble.”

Bai Zhizhuo leaned towards him, pursed his lips, stared at the slightly obtrusive arm, and stepped forward with his elasticated hem.

First there is the force stone.

Bai Zhizhuo didn't take a stride, and didn't make any preparations. He just took a deep breath, moved his feet back and forth slightly, punched out and then retracted his hands gracefully. He didn't even look at the result, and walked to the measuring method calmly. Stone front.

Ye Buwang pretended to glance over there casually, and his jaw dropped instantly.

I saw that the force measuring stone flashed white, green, and blue in sequence, and it still didn't stop. The beam of light continued to go up, and finally stopped in a deep yellow, with a faint purple in the yellow.

Not only did Ye Buwang's jaw drop, Jiang Zhishan and Elder Huang were also surprised, and the room fell silent for a while.

Elder Huang suddenly turned around and stared at Bai Zhizhuo. No matter how he looked at it, he felt that this person was just a nine-bone inserted into the dantian, with a spiritual power of around the third rank, but he definitely did not penetrate the upper dantian to reach the physical body.

It took a long time for Elder Huang to find his voice, and said loudly: "Physical strength, the peak of the fourth rank, Bai Zhizhuo, right? Please test the mana."

Bai Zhizhuo nodded his head, stretched out his right hand, it was still a mass version——spiritual power cluster, the spiritual power cluster protruded from his fingertips, he did not hide at all, the nine fairy bones connected to the lower dantian in his body continuously provided spiritual power , let the spiritual power group continue to grow after it escaped from the fingertips, and finally drained all the spiritual power reserves of the nine fairy bones, and the spiritual power group finally fell on the magic stone.

The eyes of the whole room were fixed on the beam of light of the magic stone, watching it pass by white, green, and then blue very quickly. The beam of light slowly rose in the blue color segment, and finally the yellow color segment was not activated.

Elder Huang breathed a sigh of relief, and announced loudly: "The peak of the third rank. Although your physical strength has reached the peak of the fourth rank, it is a pity that the fixed rank must be determined according to the level of mana, so it is still the third rank." Said, motioned Bai Zhizhuo to step forward, stretched out his hand Gently caressing his collar, three glittering golden threads appeared there, showing the strength of this person's third rank.

Bai Zhizhuo came back, pinched Ye Buwang's sleeves with two fingers, dropped his arm from Jin Que's shoulder, and then patted Jin Que's shoulder: "Go, it's your turn .”

Jin nodded with a smile, and there was something unclear in his smile, Bai Zhizhuo ignored it, and stood in front of Ye Buwang generously, his tall figure completely blocked Ye Buwang behind.

Jin smiled even more happily, walked happily to the force-measuring stone, and punched the stone wall with all his might.

Elder Huang stared at the measuring stone, heaved a sigh of relief, and was a little disappointed. He always felt that this Jin should be a freak like Bai Zhizhuo, but the result showed that it was indeed: "Peak of the third rank." Elder Huang announced.

Jin walked up to the magic-testing stone again, thought for a while, then stepped back suddenly, stretched out his hand and made a bow-drawing motion.

The green light gathered very quickly, and when it appeared in Jin Que's hands, the green spiritual power was born out of nothing, and a green vine bow was born out of thin air. Rubbing eyes.

Although he is not a Dharma practitioner, he also knows that low-level cultivators can only use a lot of actions such as spells and gestures to borrow the aura of heaven and earth. Ability should not be the means of a low-level cultivator.

This is not over yet, after the green vine bow appeared, Jin pulled a full moon, and instantly a water arrow appeared out of thin air, the arrow was sharp and flashing with aura, and then Jin let out a soft snort, and when he let go, the water arrow made a "swish" sound Inject the spellstone.

All eyes followed, and saw that there was no pause on the magic stone, the beam of light climbed rapidly, almost reaching the dark yellow area in the blink of an eye, and then stopped as if pressed by a big palm, the beam of light seemed to struggle and shake After a while, it finally froze in dark yellow.

After doing all this, Jin lost his strength and staggered a bit. The green aura in his hand could not be maintained and soon dissipated.

Although Yiyi made a small mistake based on his previous life experience, but this time he still drained all the spiritual power from his nine immortal bones connected to the lower dantian. The long-lost lower dantian suddenly shrank and the pain swept him, and he immediately regretted that he wanted to hit himself. a slap.

Why bother, what's the point of competing with a freak like Bai Zhizhuo, it's really painful.

Jin's complexion turned pale, but he suppressed his composure and looked at Elder Huang with urging eyes.

Elder Huang's beard was almost broken by himself, and it took him a long time to find his own voice: "Jin Que, mana level four, the peak of level four, must be a level four disciple."

But Jin walked up to Elder Huang. Elder Huang looked at him with a complicated expression, but in the end he reached out and stroked his collar, and four golden threads appeared, which could almost blind people's eyes.

At least Ye Buwang was almost stunned by the second blow, but he always felt that it was a little familiar, as if the Qianlong Society in Liufeng Town had appeared once before.

Jiang Zhishan didn't show it on the surface, but he was a little shocked in his heart.What he saw today shocked these two proud sons of heaven who thought they were better than others in everything, and it also strengthened his determination to fight Bai Zhizhuo.

When Elder Huang took the four of them out, their appearance immediately aroused a lot of discussion.

Two fourth-level disciples, two third-level disciples, and an entire outer sect disciple of nearly 2 people. So far, including the newly released Jin Que, there are a total of 120 fourth-level disciples.

Under the envious and respectful eyes of the crowd, the four walked out of the crowd, exchanged sword talismans, and after some politeness, Jiang Zhishan left first.

Ye Buwang really wanted to follow Jin Que to visit his cave, but after learning that the two lived together, Bai Zhizhuo cruelly issued a notice that it was not convenient for guests to visit.

So Ye Buwang took the next best thing, and invited Jin Que to visit his cave, but Jin Que's face turned pale from the pain, so he simply refused.

So Ye Buwang regretted and was reluctant to say goodbye to the two, and repeatedly emphasized that he must send him a message when he had time, so that the two could get together.

In the end, there were only two people left, Bai Zhizhuo teased, "Is it uncomfortable for you to be brave?"

Jin said weakly, "Don't talk nonsense, Brother Da Zhuang, take me back to the cave quickly, I need to practice urgently!"

Bai Zhizhuo shook Xing Chen Jian, and took Jin Que up by one arm.

Jin said weakly, "Can you be gentle?"

Bai Zhizhuo said: "Yes! Is rank important? It's worth your hard work."

But Jin wailed: "Hey, thinking about it now, why bother, my brain must have been flooded at the time, it hurts so much."

Bai Zhizhuo stopped teasing him, and returned to the cave of the two of them as quickly as possible, threw Jin Que into the small practice room, took out this month's regular ten middle-grade spirit stones, and placed them in the spirit gathering array.

Bai Zhizhuo made a calculation in his heart, but this time, Jin put himself out of strength, and it might take three days and nights of uninterrupted practice to replenish his spiritual power, so he also meditated for a while to recover his spiritual power, and raised his sword on the solitary Wooden Peak Peak.

There is a flat ground that he has arranged here, which is specially used for practicing swords.

At this time, the sky is completely dark, the shadow of the moon is bright, the stars in the sky seem to be pluckable, the surrounding is empty and sad, Bai Zhizhuo practiced his sword here, there is a kind of "all heavens and myriad dharmas are as bright as stars, and the sun and moon are shining brighter than one person." ", but it's a pity that no one appreciates it except Xiao Jiu, who is sleepy and squatting on the big tree with his master.

Bai Zhizhuo was infected by the environment, and his heart seemed to be filled with an inexplicable sense of loneliness. After expressing all the feelings in his heart through the sword, he put away the sword and stood up, heaving a long sigh of relief.

"Hey, what a good seedling, it's a pity that the training is poor."

"Who?" Bai Zhizhuo was startled, and suddenly turned his head to look at the source of the voice.

I saw a small man no more than the length of his forearm quietly squatting among the tops of the iron-headed tung tree behind him. His normal facial features are simple and cute, but his eyes are indeed full of twilight, without any trace of childish innocence.

"Yuji Sword?" Bai Zhizhuo asked in surprise.

"Hey, you junior are so rude, why don't you call me by my first name, no matter how bad you are, you have to add a senior."

Bai Zhizhuo is as good as he is: "Senior Yujijian."

"Hey, kid, if I remember correctly, your name is Bai Zhizhuo? Fanzhen asked me to guide you in sword practice. It's such an honor. You are the only one in the entire Kunyuan Sword Sect. How about it? What do you think about it?" Good things to honor the old man."

Bai Zhizhuo was shocked, he never expected that it would be the Yuji Sword who lived almost as long as Kunyuan Sword Sect to guide his swordsmanship, although it feels strange to let a sword spirit guide his swordsmanship, but it is undeniable that if you are right In the understanding of kendo, if Yuji Sword and Sword Spirit are ranked second, no one in the world dares to be number one.

Naturally, Bai Zhizhuo would not reject such a good thing, and said sincerely: "Senior, the immortal body and spirit bones live as long as the sky, eat wind and drink dew, don't eat five grains, and don't use pills. To be honest, this junior really can't think of it." What do seniors need?"

Yujijian grinned, and said with satisfaction: "Don't worry, the old man needs a lot of things. With your current cultivation level, let alone owning it, I'm afraid you haven't seen it before, and you haven't even thought about it. The old man will remember it for you first." Let’s talk about it later.”

Yujijian secretly dug a hole, but Bai Zhizhuo didn't notice it, and thanked him.
