ah?The palace fighting system can also cultivate immortality

Chapter 172: Three parts struggle, three parts hatred, and four parts unrequited love

The four people from Wuliang Sect were angry but dared not speak out.

The two sides cooperated to hunt spirit beasts, and it was only natural to distribute according to work. It was not that they were unwilling to give anything - Ming Zhi's weakness was compared with Du Xinghe and Su Yan. She was both talented and favored by Venerable Yuan Ming. As long as she put in one tenth of the effort, she could get the full score of others. Looking at the Immortal Alliance competition, her strength was also obvious to all.

It is reasonable to give her the inner elixir of the spirit beast from the spoils of war.

Their indignation stems from the fact that Qin Qingyue, their leader, seems to care more about Ming Zhi than the interests of his fellow disciples.

Even if he said it out loud, Senior Brother Qin would just say helplessly that they were overthinking.

but--

Looking at Qin Qingyue who was so gentle to Ming Zhi, were they really overly suspicious?
……

"Master, when are we going down?"

Xinyue was eager to try.

Unlike Shenshui who has the animal instinct to seek profit and avoid harm, Xinyue seems to be born without fear or fear of the strong. The more powerful the existence, the more he wants to perform and gain credit in front of his master.

"Not urgent,"

Du Xinghe rolled up his hands and used them as a telescope: "The Purple Wisdom Eye can only detect fakes, it can't read lips. What are they discussing?"

He leaned over to look.

She added a small space spell to the small circle rolled up by her hand, achieving the effect of a real telescope. After a moment, he said, "They were discussing how to distribute the forces after killing the spirit beast together. The four Wuliang Sect disciples disagreed with the distribution proposed by Qin Qingyue."

Du Xinghe was surprised: "Can you read lips?"

"Combined with their half-guessed and half-guessed expressions, hehe."

Shenshui touched the back of his head.

After hearing this, Xinyue's face turned unfriendly: "How can I let them get their hands on the prey that Master has set his eyes on? As long as Master says a word, I will go and teach them a lesson!"

It is not a problem for "Mystical Sound" to control an area when the opponent is not on guard.

Du Xinghe shook his head: "No need, we can just wait here."

Master said it was not necessary, so Xinyue naturally obeyed, but she hesitated and said, "Master, are you going to give it to them?"

"Hehe, Senior Sister, you don't understand! When they start fighting, Master will sit back and reap the benefits. If we alert them now, they will be on guard against Master."

Du Xinghe nodded and sat down on Chi Xiao. He raised his hand and used his spiritual power to condense a mist. The mist became thicker and thicker, and finally gathered into a cumulus cloud that could cover their figures. He smiled lightly and said, "We don't know the attack and defense methods of this spirit beast yet. I'm so happy that someone is willing to be its vanguard."

The six people on the ground seemed to have discussed the distribution, but they did not appear in front of the crow fish first. Instead, they set up a magic circle around the lake where the crow fish was as the axis.

After a moment, a light blue light rose from the ground and enveloped the entire lake.

——The monks are also afraid that others will come to snatch their spoils, so before killing a powerful spiritual beast, they will first set up an isolation barrier that prevents outsiders from seeing inside and entering. Mortals passing by will remember that they have other urgent things to do the moment they encounter the barrier, or they urgently want to go home and cook a pot of chicken soup, so they will not take another step forward, and believe that all these decisions are made by their own will.

Du Xinghe flew too high, and the barrier isolated her.

"Tsk."

Her eyes flashed purple, and the sword energy gently cut a gap in the barrier, sliding in silently: "You are very cautious. I am not experienced enough and have never seen such a method."

The cut quickly closed up again.

For the monks who constructed the barrier, they would only feel a slight fluctuation. There were wild beasts all around, and if a beast rushed blindly and hit the barrier, it would also cause similar fluctuations, but it would not arouse vigilance.

Du Xinghe and the other two were watching from the very edge.

Ming Zhi walked on the lake with a long sword in hand. With every step, a water splash condensed into a gardenia-shaped flower appeared on the calm lake surface. The crow fish didn't take this little thing seriously at first, and didn't even have the desire to attack her. After she circled around the crow fish, she threw up a talisman. When the sword blade was attached to the talisman, the talisman burned quickly, and the twenty-four water gardenias around it glowed at the same time, covering the crow fish.

This move really caught the attention of the crow fish.

The light transformed from the water gardenia took the shape of a whip, trying to bind it inside.

This was also what Ming Zhi thought. First control the spirit beast and then attack it in groups. This would be safe and efficient.

The next moment, something strange happened——

The huge crow fish actually turned into a huge pool of water and fell into the lake before being hit.

The calm lake surface suddenly fell into this volume of water, creating a splash three stories high.

Under the water, the crows regrouped and tried to lift Mingzhi away.

"careful!"

Qin Qingyue flew over on his sword and raised his hand to create a wall of fire to block the water arrows coming from below.

The water arrows hit the wall of fire and evaporated into mist.

"Brother Qingyue!"

Ming Zhi leaned on Qin Qingyue habitually, but a strange feeling arose in her heart——

In fact, she could have avoided it just now.

She also wanted to hide away by herself.

But when someone comes to rescue her, she will stop dodging and want others to rescue her.

What is the right thing to do?

"You... stop being in a daze!"

The enraged crowfish launched a more violent attack. The Wuliang Sect's disciples angrily interrupted Mingzhi's confusion. The six of them used all their strength to fight with it: "The crowfish can be invisible in the water. We must find a way to make it unable to stay in the water."

Qin Qingyue took out a gourd, poured out the medicine liquid with light black mist inside and put it into the water.

Du Xinghe recognized it. It was a medicine liquid used to absorb the spiritual energy in the water, making the water area unsuitable for spiritual beasts to live in for a certain period of time. The higher the level of the spiritual beast, the more painful it would be in it. It was made by alchemists specifically for catching water-attributed spiritual beasts, and was sometimes bought by mortals to drive away water-attributed spiritual beasts near their homes.

The medicine quickly spread in the lake, making the crow fish visible again.

The angry crow fish began to charge around. It couldn't believe that there were six of these annoying ants! Each one was trying to inflict wounds on it. The female cultivator with a sword and a strange floral scent was the most powerful. It picked the weakest one among them and launched a intensive attack like a storm.

The lake water that had its spiritual energy sucked away no longer listened to the crow fish's command. It flew out of the water, its feathers exploded, and the top layer of feathers turned into ice spikes. It ignored the other five people and attacked Zhai Luosheng, the weakest and lowest-level disciple of the Wuliang Sect.

"careful!"

Qin Qingyue threw out a defensive talisman, blocking most of the ice spikes for him, but the two that were missed pierced Zhai Luosheng's left hand and right foot. Blood immediately gushed out and he wailed in pain. He hurriedly used his intact right hand to take out a hemostatic pill from the storage ring and swallowed it.

"Woooooooo..."

Zhai Luosheng's tears flowed heavily.

His fellow disciple was puzzled and urged: "Hurry up and get up! The crow fish is chasing you! Why are you crying? This kind of injury can be healed by a doctor when you go back. It won't hurt."

"I brought a hemostatic pill that I made myself. After I took it, I realized that I forgot to add the pain-relieving forget-me-not when I made it. It hurt so much."

"..."

Originally, one shouldn't laugh at such a critical moment, but his fellow disciples couldn't help laughing.

Good news, Zhai Luosheng’s pain will soon go away.

Bad news, the crowfish's ice spikes contained spiritual power, which polluted his meridians and froze inch by inch from the wound. In just two sentences, he couldn't lift his arm. He could only use the power of the talisman to temporarily withdraw from the battle. The crowfish didn't chase him, but turned to attack the next one.

Under the continuous siege of five people, the crow fish gradually showed signs of fatigue. It couldn't understand why these ants had so many strange means of attack. The endless spells made it gradually fall into rage. Finally, it made several sharp hisses. Its harsh and desperate sound waves carried spiritual power, which made everyone present freeze in place, and even the hand holding the sword trembled.

Then, it transformed into a new form, its body covered in pure black feathers, its wings emitting flowing colors under the sunlight. Unless you see it with your own eyes, it is difficult to imagine how beautiful this colorful black is.

All breath of life was sucked away and crushed by it.

The crowfish opened its mouth wide, and a strong stream of wind emerged, sucking in everything around it.

The barrier that the six people built together turned out to be a cage that trapped them!

High-level wild spirit beasts can also sense killing moves.

It was like a flash of inspiration left by a gentle tap from the Heaven on their heads. The killing move of the crow fish - Guixu, sucked the living beings into the strange space inside its stomach. The end of the esophagus was not the stomach, but Guixu, the place where all things ended.

As this move was launched, a rain of ice spikes fell.

Ming Zhi was about to be hit by the ice spike. Qin Qingyue rushed over without saying a word and tried to block it with the fire wall again. However, the ice spike split into hundreds of fine and dense ice needles, which wrapped around him like a rain of pear blossoms, instantly turning his arm into a ball of needles.

"Uh!"

Qin Qingyue groaned and quickly swallowed the hemostatic pill. At the same time, he used his spiritual power to force the ice-attributed poison out of his body to avoid following in Zhai Luosheng's footsteps. "We underestimated the strength of this mourning crow fish. No, it only has three crow patterns. It shouldn't be so powerful..."

After leaving the battle group, Zhai Luosheng, who was sitting on the ground taking Fire Spirit Pills to relieve the erosion of the meridians by the ice, saw the bare chest feathers of the crow fish and suddenly realized: "Big Brother, this is a female fish. It just gave birth!"

Spiritual beasts still retain some animality.

In nature, spiritual animals that have just given birth are often more aggressive and stronger than before.

This crowfish must have had its feathers on its chest gnawed away when it was feeding its young with its mouth, making it look a little bald.

"Let's retreat first!"

The five men's faces changed, and they all used their best skills to cover their retreat.

Hearing this, Ming Zhi felt unwilling.

She felt that she could fight, and when she went out with Senior Brother Su to train, Senior Brother Su rarely said that she couldn't fight.

This crowfish is indeed very powerful, but her sword is not at a disadvantage either.

Ming Zhi once again felt the ice thorn strongly.

She could have gotten away with it.

But Brother Qingyue rushed over and blocked the ice spike for him.

Does she really need others to sacrifice so much for her?

There was a strong wind blowing around. Ming Zhi watched the four people from Wuliang Sect retreat together, and Qin Qingyue also endured the pain and wanted to take her away.

At the critical moment, Ming Zhi saw herself brushing his hand away.

She heard herself say, "You go ahead and let me try."

——No, she should have tears in her eyes and fall into Brother Qingyue's arms in panic, and let him carry her away, so that his fellow disciples could see his preference and doting on her. But at this moment, she was really unwilling to leave like this.

The gardenia wreath on the wrist lit up with gardenia flowers, entwining the sword.

She also knows the swordsmanship of the Nine Yang Sect.

But the Nine Yang Sect swordsmanship she used was definitely not as good as Senior Brother Su's. Could it be better than Senior Brother Xue's? Maybe it was just as strong.

Can compare...can compare...

Can it be stronger than crossing the galaxy?
When facing the huge mouth that exuded a silent death, Ming Zhi thought of not any man, but Du Xinghe, whom she hated the most but could not avoid. She remembered Du Xinghe questioning her - she was the one who saved her, why didn't she remember her kindness, didn't think of her kindness, but took the lead with other brothers to bully her?

At that time, Mingzhi was speechless.

She really couldn't defend herself.

Because on that frosty and snowy night, Ming Zhi clearly remembered that it was the tall and thin female Taoist priest in white who saved her, took care of her meticulously, helped her recover her health, and gave her new clothes.

At that time, Du Xinghe was like a goddess in Ming Zhi's heart.

However, she soon discovered that the status of the "Goddess" in the Nine Yang Sect was so low.

The "goddess" could save her temporarily, but if she wanted to do well, she still had to rely on her master and fellow disciples. After she found out her spiritual roots, she found that everyone had changed their faces again. The so-called "goddess" was not only indistinguishable from everyone else, but was the worst among the inner disciples and the shame of the Cliff of Inquiry.

But from beginning to end, Du Xinghe's eyes on her were the same. When she was in tatters and her face was covered in blood, she did not despise her.

After she found out that she had natural spiritual roots, or the water spiritual roots that everyone in the world of immortal cultivation was vying for, the way she looked at her did not change, just as always. Why?
A strange idea took root in Mingzhi's mind. She thought that after she made something of herself, Du Xinghe would admire her, worship her, and surround her and try to please her like everyone else.

But Du Xinghe refused to do so. She would rather quit the sect and go down the mountain than give in to her.

"It stinks! I thought water-attributed spirit beasts would smell sweet."

Ming Zhi grabbed the crow fish's teeth with one hand and tried to find its vital points.

Anything she touched immediately turned into water and turned around to bite her. But this was exactly what Ming Zhi wanted. As she also had the attribute of water spirit, she could change the spirit of water and maintain the delicate balance by activating her spirit power.

The mourning crow fish also understood that this was indeed the most difficult opponent. The death thought surged from the depths of its esophagus and turned into hundreds of hands, trying to pull her in: "I am Xiangxiang, don't touch me."

The sword flashed, and a deep wound was left on the back of the crow fish's neck, and sticky blood flowed out.

"Sure enough, I have to use sword energy with water spirit power to hurt you."

After finding the trick, Mingzhi felt more relaxed.

She felt that she was indeed capable of doing it, and was able to capture this powerful spirit beast when her teammates announced their retreat.

When the counterattack of the mourning crow fish became weaker and weaker, Ming Zhi felt that she had won: a hand made up of the split stomach of a fish finally grabbed her ankle, and in the blink of an eye, it sucked away all her cheerful and positive emotions, trying to pull her into the abyss.

"Oops!"

This was an attack with a strong hallucinogenic effect. Ming Zhi was startled, but his meridians were blocked because of the invasion of death thoughts.

Just as she was about to be pulled into Guixu and the Heart Protection Talisman was triggered, a bright light suddenly appeared in front of her.

The heavy sword burning with flames cut the back of the crowfish's head in half.

A blue drop of water flashing white light fell out from the brain stem and landed right on Mingzhi's head.

Having escaped death, she stared blankly at the man holding the heavy sword.

"Tsk, I didn't expect you to be so brave this time."

Du Xinghe unceremoniously took the crow fish inner pill from Mingzhi's head. Xinyue immediately scooped a bucket of water and flew to her side diligently, asking her to wash the demon pill. After all, the demon pill was not only stained with the blood and flesh of the crow fish, but also touched the head of this annoying thing, so it had to be washed to get rid of the bad luck.

Xinyue injected spiritual power into the bucket of water. After the flesh, blood and remaining demonic energy washed through the water, only the purest crystals of demonic power remained.

The three of them were flying in the sky with their swords, and they only saw the five people from the Wuliang Sect retreating together, while Ming Zhi stayed behind to fight with the crow fish.

And because of the angle, she didn't see that Mingzhi's ankle had been grabbed and she was gone.

If he really saw it, Du Xinghe would have to wait until later to take action.

She just thought that if it happened again, the crow fish would die completely at Ming Zhi's hands. It was almost like that.

The combination of many factors led to this rescue of the enemy.

"you……"

The stunned Ming Zhi also came to his senses.

"Why? Do you want this demon pill?"

Du Xinghe glanced at her and snorted, "I killed it. If you are not convinced, I will send you to see it. You can ask it for another one."

Taking advantage of her enemies' misfortunes is the joy of her life!
After she finished speaking, the other party did not argue with her immediately. Instead, he stared at her with a strange look, and there was something in his eyes that even Du Xinghe could not understand.

"You are staring at my master. Do you have any objection?"

Xinyue, unable to bear it any longer, broke the silence and stared at Mingzhi warily.

Somehow, even though this person's strength was obviously not as good as hers or her master's, the way Ming Zhi stared at her master made Xinyue's alarm bells ring, and she subconsciously wanted to stop her from continuing to look.

"No."

Ming Zhi retracted his gaze and nodded calmly: "Well, since you killed it, you can take it."

This demon pill is what she urgently needs. Even though she knows it is useless to fight for it, she should still try again.

but……

In this very short period of time, Ming Zhi understood.

Du Xinghe had no idea that he had saved her again unintentionally.

How come it seemed like her life was saved by Du Xinghe since she was born?

Ming Zhi was so absurd that she laughed at the idea. Her lips and eyebrows curved up. Her laughter was completely from the heart. It was neither a sneer nor a giggle. Instead, it made Du Xinghe and his group feel a little creepy.

Du Xinghe didn't bother to pay attention to her. He used Xue Ming to start dissecting the crow fish and taking out the useful parts.

To be honest, she provided the most crucial and powerful sword, and most of the credit should be given to Ming Zhi, who was busy running around, casting spells and swinging swords.

But they are enemies, so Du Xinghe will naturally not treat her fairly.

She took it all!
"Put them all in the storage ring, senior brother may need them." Du Xinghe ordered, glancing at Ming Zhi beside him. She was still standing there, but there was no reluctance on her face, which made her feel a little less unhappy.

Ming Zhi didn't say a word until Du Xinghe left with his food.

After leaving the lake, the sword spirit wondered, "Isn't that little girl very talkative? How come she didn't say a word this time when you snatched her prey away?"

Du Xinghe: "Because I threatened her. If she says one more word, I will beat out her amulet."

Having said that, Du Xinghe didn't think so from the look on her face.

Xinyue did not comment on this.

In her eyes, outsiders are no different from stones on the roadside. It is normal for stones not to speak.

Shenshui seemed to be thinking: "When she looked at Master just now, there were three parts of struggle, three parts of hatred, and four parts of unrequited love in her eyes."

What you said, can that still be a human eye?

They all become fan-shaped graphs.

Du Xinghe smoothed the goose bumps on his arms: "If I can't eat later, it's because of what you said."

"Master, please trust me. I am very good at judging people!"

The ginseng water is not willing to talk.

"You're right, but don't look at it yet."

Xinyue felt her feet were itchy and wanted to kick her junior brother off the sword.

Du Xinghe had no interest in analyzing the weak. Ming Zhi's courage to meet the Crow Fish alone surprised her, and she also had some recognition, so she looked at her straight in the eye. But Du Xinghe quickly put the matter behind him and turned to study where to find a new powerful spirit beast to practice with: "If you can't find a powerful spirit beast, you can find someone to practice with!"

She recalled the top ten names on the Tianjiao list and treated the names on it as a hunting list.

Meet one, beat one!
……

At the same time, Ming Zhi stood on the lake, looking at Du Xinghe's receding figure for a long time.

The blood from the dead crow fish and the liquid medicine Qin Qingyue had cast polluted the lake, making the originally clear water turbid. With every breath, the nose was filled with blood. The blood of the spirit beast carried its own spiritual energy, which repelled the effect of the liquid medicine, just like water and oil do not mix, dividing the lake into two, half black and half red.

And she stands between red and black.

When the five people from Wuliang Sect saw that she was taking a long time to catch up, Qin Qingyue became extremely anxious. After making sure that her fellow disciples had reached a safe place, they immediately turned back to find Mingzhi.

"Senior Brother Qin!"

His junior fellow apprentice stopped him and said, "Friend Ming is a sword cultivator. He is definitely stronger than us. With the protection of the Heart Amulet, nothing will go wrong. What if you go back and are seen by that spirit beast and it chases you without caring about anything?"

"I won't run towards you. You can continue with the Immortal Alliance Competition." Qin Qingyue said.

"But Master told us to try to act together, and you are stronger than us. We don't want you to sacrifice your fighting power for other disciples, and..." Junior Brother turned his head and looked at Zhai Luosheng, who was lying on the ground with his meridians blocked by the cold. "You see, Junior Brother Zhai also needs your help to use his energy to force the cold out of his body."

They admit that they may be a little selfish.

But who doesn't want to get a higher ranking in the Immortal Alliance Competition? Senior Brother Qin can be where he is today, thanks to the Wuliang Sect's hard work in cultivating him. Since he is the chief disciple, he should put the interests of his fellow disciples first.

This is Qin Qingyue's responsibility.

Qin Qingyue closed his eyes, feeling extremely painful. In many cases, he was a dedicated person who was willing to give in to his fellow disciples. His master also saw this in him and recommended him to be the chief disciple. If he had to give up his own interests today, he would agree without hesitation, but on the other side of the scale was his beloved woman.

After hesitating for two breaths, he stretched out his hand and handed all the soul flowers he had to his junior brother:
"I know it will be difficult for you to collect soul flowers without me. I will put the soul flowers on you first. If something happens to me and I can't come back, you will divide my soul flowers equally and strive to move up in the rankings."

Having said this, he had made his decision and also left the final guarantee for his fellow disciples.

If it was a conceited and arrogant swordsman like Su Yan, his fellow disciples would not dare to question him. However, because Qin Qingyue was such a good person in the past, they wanted to compete for the care in their senior brother's heart.

In the eyes of the young disciples of the Jiuyang Sect, Su Yan is a role model.

In the eyes of the young disciples of Wuliang Sect, Qin Qingyue is an idol that they can approach. They admire him and hope to get his protection.

"Okay, brother, we'll listen to you."

The junior brother had tears in his eyes: "Brother Qin, take care of yourself. We will wait for you here for an hour."

As soon as he finished speaking, the figure disappeared from sight.

When the anxious Qin Qingyue returned to the lake, he found that everything around him was calm. There was nothing else except the blood in the air and the destroyed trees.

"Gardenia!"

Qin Qingyue called out louder and louder, and when Ming Zhi, covered in blood, turned around, his breathing almost stopped.

"It's not my blood," Ming Zhi explained, "When I was about to kill the crow fish, it accidentally grabbed my ankle and almost dragged me into its stomach and was eaten. Du Xinghe happened to appear and saved me."

In the past, she would never admit that Du Xinghe had done her any favor.

Even if we reluctantly admit it, we have to make countless patches to reduce this kindness.

But at this time, she told the whole story in a straightforward manner.

It turned out that not lying and admitting it frankly was such a simple thing. She was even too lazy to describe how thrilling it was for her, nor did she throw herself into Qin Qingyue's arms with tears on her face as she did before.

"Crossing the galaxy? Why is she here?"

Hearing this name, Qin Qingyue frowned in surprise.

They clearly set up the barrier.

"I don't know. Maybe the barrier can't stop her. Even the barrier set up by my master can't stop her, let alone ours." Ming Zhi said in a light tone: "If it wasn't for her, my heart-protecting amulet would have been beaten out long ago. She wanted to take all the materials and demon pills away. I agreed... There's nothing I can do if I don't agree. I can't beat her."

She had finished her words, and Qin Qingyue could only remain silent.

There are few moments like this—

In the past, Ming Zhi would always leave messages for his senior brothers.

"Oh, how scary—"

Ming Zhi opened her arms, leaned back, and lay on the lake. The blood supported her: "Luckily Du Xinghe is here."

These words had been suppressed in her heart for a long time. She could neither say them nor dare to think about them.

But it turns out that saying it out loud is just a matter of talking.

A breath of foul air cleared from her heart.

So Easy.

They won't reconcile, they won't become friends, but Mingzhi is indeed a bit closeted to Dujie... (They are both straight!) It's very subtle.
After reading this chapter, my friend said: The villain female supporting role you wrote has a bit of An Lingrong's flavor
Quebao: Huh???
