Purgatory

Chapter 56 The So-Called Talent

The lower realm shrouded in pitch-black sky.

The fifth floor of the Tianling Pagoda.

The attire has changed, and now Luo Hongyan, who is wearing a skirt with complicated patterns, stops in the middle of the Xuanyin Stone with her exquisite figure.

The faint fluorescence is released through the Xuanyin stone, making her skin as white as snow, like a graceful and soft white lotus.

Her probing eyes stopped at the direction where Pang Jian disappeared, and she frowned and murmured: "That greedy kid, did I break through the line of defense?"

Pursing her lips and chuckling lightly, she found the real Ning Yao in that void of consciousness.

"Did you see that? That kid has already protected me everywhere. I used your body to contact him, and I just changed the way of getting along with him a little, and I got his approval."

Luo Hongyan, who was dressed in a bright red dress, was so beautiful that the world was empty and quiet in this place.

After absorbing a wave of power from the Xuanyin Stone, her soul form became much stronger, and the lines on her skin became clear.

Only a spirit body like her can use the power in the Xuanyin Stone to cleanse the impurities in the soul.

Seeing the triumphant demon girl showing off again, Ning Yao, who was imprisoned in her own sea of ​​consciousness, had to admit that the demon girl was really a natural beauty, a beauty she had never seen before.

After absorbing the "power of mysterious yin", the spirit body of the demon girl became more and more beautiful, which made her feel ashamed.

If this is really the former form of the witch, then this witch has amazed how many giants in the world.

Compared with the beauty of the demon girl in front of her, Shangguanqin, who was so fragrant and beautiful, was not even worthy of carrying shoes.

The more Ning Yao looked at her, the less confident she became, so she turned her head away and responded coldly: "When Pang Jian and I inspected the first phoenix bone, we saw a broken gray-white rock in his bamboo basket. Those are stones mixed with spiritual power and mysterious Yin power."

Luo Hongyan hesitated and said: "You mean, he knows that I use the Xuanyin stone to refine the spirit body?"

"I think so. He has been here more than once. The soul array also collapsed because of him, breaking into many Xuanyin stones. The Xuanyin stones that you absorbed the power of Xuanyin all turned into ordinary stones. Block, he may be aware of it."

As a bystander, Ning Yao has been observing through her own eyes recently, and has been reflecting on her behavior.

She had to admit that she had indeed overlooked it at the beginning.

Even if Pang Jian has not set foot on the road of practice, he is just a hunter in the mountains, and there are many merits in him.

What's more, Pang Jian was still full of mystery, but she just didn't notice it at the time.

"Knowing that I can use Xuanyin stones to cultivate, he also ceded these precious stones to me? Hehe, he really cares about me." Luo Hongyan smiled lightly, and performed the spells among the many Xuanyin stones.

"Hoo! Hoo!"

Wisps of cold "power of mysterious yin" immediately disappeared towards the center of her brows, flowed into the void of consciousness, and were swallowed by Luo Hongyan fluttering from the corner of her skirt.

A piece of Xuanyin stone, the crystal clear and translucent inside, no longer exists.

……

As night fell, everything was quiet.

On the top of the mountain more than ten feet away from the White Pagoda, Pang Jian and Zhou Qingchen gathered around the fire, eating dry bacon prepared by the Su family and the He family, and talking around the fire.

Zhou Qingchen also took out several cans of spicy spirits from the storage bracelet, and threw a can to Pang Jian.

Pang Jian put down the bamboo basket on his back, threw the dragon pattern spear aside, took a porcelain jar of wine and frowned slightly.

"Try this jar of wine!"

Zhou Qingchen didn't say his name, tore off the sealing paper, and poured it boldly.

"Alcohol is a good thing!"

Han Duping screamed strangely, and like Zhou Qingchen, he began to drink freely.

After hesitating for a while, Pang Jian had a decent appearance and imitated the two of them to drink.

After taking a few sips of spicy wine, he coughed violently a few times. Although he was not used to the taste of wine, he gradually got used to it.

"Brother Zhou, give me a jar too."

Su Meng begged softly.

Seeing that her crystal eyes were full of sadness, Zhou Qingchen knew that she hadn't come out of the shadow of Su Yuntian's death, so he handed over a jar of wine and said softly: "When my father died, I was just sensible. Not as strong as you, I also cried for a long time before recovering."

Su Meng held the porcelain pot in both hands, drinking in small sips, and she didn't answer even if she didn't eat.

Zhou Qingchen chatted with Pang Jian about other things.

He told Pang Jian that after he and Han Duping escaped from the black water pool, they quickly contacted each other with their secret signs.

After they reunited, everyone except Shangguan Qin was murdered by the dark ghost Hong Tai and others.

In order to prevent the dark ghosts from guessing their itinerary, instead of leaving in a hurry, they continued to go deeper into the most dangerous north.

Both of them believed that the hunting team organized by the dark ghost would never set foot in the extreme north where the "strange fog" existed.

On the way, the two of them also found a few phoenix bones, but unfortunately those phoenix bones were not rooted on the majestic foreign body, so there was no strange thing like phoenix marrow.

All the way to Wulan Lake, they didn't encounter anyone else, only saw the corpses of many beasts.

Pang Jian ignored many details, and also told his experience in Heishuitan, saying that he escaped from Hong Tai's grasp because of the help of the "black and white king python".

After the experience of both parties was finished, Han Duping, who was drunk, couldn't help asking: "Did you really unblock the four meridians in one go?"

The drunk-eyed Zhou Qingchen also looked at him.

Pang Jian, who was a little dizzy, nodded and gave a soft "hmm".

"Just breaking into the Tongmai Realm, and cultivating the four veins connecting the arms in a short period of time can prove one thing." Zhou Qingchen was a little envious, and praised: "The spiritual sea under your boy's dantian is better than those of the same realm. People are much wider!"

"Only if the spiritual sea is wide enough and the spiritual power stored far exceeds that of ordinary people, can you achieve such a feat like you!"

"You kid..."

He gave Pang Jian a hard look, and scolded: "He also said that his cultivation talent is poor!"

When Shidui recruited Pang Jian to go to Zhou's house, Pang Jian once said that his cultivation talent was too poor, and he also comforted Pang Jian not to care too much, talent is not the only sign to measure the future of a practitioner.

"If Pang Jian's talent is not good enough, the young people from the seven major families of the Fourth Realm are probably useless."

Han Duping shook his head and sighed, "Let's just talk about you, Zhou boy. When you entered the meridian opening state, you only opened up one and a half meridians, and the spiritual power in your body was exhausted."

"Among the seven great families of the Fourth Realm, you are worthy of the word "excellent", which is a first-class cultivation talent!"

"For example, Ning Yao, He Ziren, etc., when they were just promoted to Tongmai Realm, they couldn't even open up a single meridian!"

He and Zhou Qingchen had a very good relationship, and Zhou Qingchen didn't get angry with a playful smile when he yelled at each other.

Su Meng, who was drinking with her head down, suddenly raised her head and looked at Pang Jian cutely.

Only then did she understand that Luo Hongyan's praise for Pang Jian might still be too conservative.

Luo Hongyan said that only Pang Jian is qualified to challenge Dong Tianze at the same level. Except for Pang Jian, no one else in the Fourth Realm has this qualification.

——Including Zhou Qingchen of the Zhou family.

Su Meng heard from family members about Dong Tianze's situation, and knew that when Dong Tianze was promoted to Tongmai Realm, the expansion of meridians was far less than that of Pang Jian.

"Dantian Linghai will often be re-opened because of a major breakthrough in the realm. Pang Jian, in your current realm, the Linghai Sea is so vast, which means that when you advance in the realm in the future, it will become even bigger. Vast!" Zhou Qingchen was amazed, envious, but also boasted shamelessly: "I really saw the right person!"

Pang Jian took another sip of wine silently.

Only he himself knew that the four meridians were not his limit. He actually still had some spiritual power left in his spiritual sea at that time.

It was because he wanted to destroy the soul array as soon as possible, in order to spare the energy to fight, so he didn't carry out the follow-up meridian reclamation.

"I heard that only some geniuses in the upper realm, because of their outstanding talents and strange spiritual formulas, can open up multiple veins like Pang Jian when they first promoted to the Tongmai state." Han Du Ping looked at the dark sky in ecstasy, and said, "The upper realm I'm talking about is not the third realm."

……

The bottom of the island.

One of the thick stone pillars wrapped in black rock, at the bottom of the pillar, was dug out into a cave for people to hide in.

The cave is on the sole of a tortoise foot of the black turtle.

The seriously injured Dong Tianze lay curled up in the cave at the bottom of the tortoise's feet, with the eye-catching phoenix imprint shining on the center of his brow.

Panting heavily, he used the blood essence of the black turtle that was intended to refine his viscera, and repaired his wound pierced by the dragon-marked spear.

His incomparably tenacious vitality, coupled with his amazing self-healing power, is slowly healing the wound.

But his spiritual will, which was consumed by the spontaneous combustion of a "spiritual evil spirit", was on the verge of collapse.

Extreme mental fatigue, in a practitioner of his level, cannot be cured by practice, only by deep and long sleep.

He finally fell into a deep sleep, and the gorgeous phoenix between his eyebrows was still bright in the dark cave.

In a daze, Dong Tianze felt the presence of his master.

In his perception, the master who gave him a sliver of power before was paying attention to him through an artifact in an extremely distant place in the upper realm.

Dong Tianze's spirit shook slightly.

When that drop of phoenix marrow formed and merged into his heart, he knew that he was enduring a rare catastrophe.

If he can't survive the catastrophe, he will be devoured by the phoenix marrow like Ouyang Duanhai, and become a puppet without self.

After surviving this catastrophe, the phoenix marrow will move from the heart to the mind, blending with his soul and becoming a brand.

At the moment when the holy phoenix brand was created, Dong Tianze let out a long breath, and at the same time knew that he had a master.

That master is mysterious and powerful, far away at the top of the world, holding an artifact that can rule the life and death of the "Tianfeng Shenwei".

At this moment, his master is using that artifact, watching his actions as if on top of the world.

He endured the pain and knelt down in this small cave, hoping to let his master see his piety and humility.

He felt that his master possessed mighty divine power and a supreme majesty that could not be desecrated. He had to constantly demonstrate his ability and loyalty in order to get his master's occasional scrutiny.

The meaning of his existence, Dong Tianze, is to one day be summoned by his master to go to the peak of this world to protect his master.

This time he was favored by his master, and he was able to be blessed with a sliver of strength to save his life. It seemed that his master had a special preference for this piece of desolate mountain range that was barren of spiritual materials.

"The person who saved my life last time was my adoptive father Dong Qianfeng, this time it is my master."

Dong Tianze, who didn't know that even his own soul was distorted by the phoenix seal, silently strengthened his belief in his heart, thinking about how to win the trust of the master and how to please the master in the future.

In Dong Tianze's mind, the master's majesty and glory surpassed everything, beyond his life.

Protecting the master is the lifelong career pursuit of every "Tianfeng Shenwei".
