The shuttle broke through the clouds and dragged a straight white mark high in the sky.
Qin Tiexin is sitting at the end of the shuttle, with his back against the bulkhead, and his left hand resting on the handle of Edgeless Saber on his lap.
The protective array inside the shuttle blocked the howling wind outside, and the cabin was so quiet that only the low hum of the Spirit Stone driver was left. Chen Xi was steering the ship in front, occasionally adjusting its flight attitude.
Luo Ling is sitting cross-legged in the middle, holding a Jade Slip in his hand and placing it in front of his forehead. His brows are slightly wrinkled, as if he is studying something Pill Formula.
Qin Tiexin Close your eyes and sink your consciousness into your body.
Nine of Dantian Primordial Qi Vortex are rotating slowly according to a fixed rhythm. The first eight cyclones are even in size and full in color, and the ninth one is slightly smaller than the other eight.
He guided a ray of spiritual power through the meridians along the path of "Primordial Unity Instruction". The spiritual power flowed smoothly and unobstructed, and the walls of the meridians were wider and tougher than before.
Qi Refining Ninth Layer.
During the period of unconsciousness at the bottom of the blood pool, the ninth-level bottleneck was unknowingly broken open, and he couldn't tell when he broke through.
However, the ninth cyclone has not yet been fully formed. Once all nine cyclones are stabilized to the same size, we can start preparing Foundation Establishment.
This time it was a blessing in disguise, his cultivation had reached a higher level, but the cost and risk were too great, so much so that he was not sure if he would choose to participate in Body Refining Master Conference if he had another chance.
He took back his spiritual power to Dantian and felt his physical condition instead.
Most of the soreness in the muscles all over the body has subsided, replaced by a substantial, almost overflowing sense of energy. Every muscle, every Root Bone bone, and every meridian seems to be filled with something, a more primitive energy that penetrates into the blood vessels and cells.
He couldn't feel it when he was weak before, but now that his body functions have recovered, this "over-full" feeling has become obvious. It's like a water bag that has been filled to the limit, and one more drop will overflow.
He looked down at his remaining left arm and tried to clench his fist. The joints crackled, and the air between his fingers was squeezed out with a very short sonic boom.
He estimated that the strength of his left hand alone should have exceeded 20,000 kilograms, and this was his weaker hand, but he didn't know exactly how strong it could be, so he had to find an opportunity to test it.
The current weight of Edgeless is easy for him to lift, but he doesn't know how much Edgeless actually weighs. He has no reference for weighing it. He only knows that it is several times heavier than before, but it doesn't feel heavy at all when used.
We can't wait any longer. The energy in the body has been piled up to the limit. If we don't impact Qi and Blood Realm, the excess energy will not only not be able to help him, but will start to damage the meridians and Dantian. When Wind and Snow Pass returns, find time to retreat and break through.
He turned and glanced at his empty right sleeve again.
The sealing talisman on the broken part of the right arm had a faint golden sheen under the fabric. Senior Brother Chen Xi said that Wind and Snow Pass could find a medical practitioner to fix it, and Luo Ling also said the same. When the two of them spoke, they tried to be as understated as possible, but he could feel that things were not that simple.
Every time the heartbeat pumps blood to the broken part of the right shoulder, there will be a sharp stabbing pain.
The sealing talisman of Chen Xi has locked the loss of Essence Blood, and the wound will not worsen. However, every time the energy carried in the blood and filled in the body flows to the fracture to stimulate the growth of granulation and nerves, it is cut off by an invisible force.
Those new tissues were minced the moment they were formed, and then the energy in the blood spawned new ones, which were minced again. This recurring pain never stopped, but he didn't show it.
The loss of his right arm is not just an inconvenience to him. All his weapon-making skills, including hammer lifting, fire control, tempering, and engraving, are all in his right hand.
Without the right hand, there is no weapon refining.
And his fighting style was also greatly affected.
"Heavy Mountain Saber Technique" is originally a knife technique that is mainly right-handed and supplemented by both hands. The left hand is not the dominant hand;
The training of "Falling Star Spear" is mainly done with the right hand, and the accuracy and strength of the left hand are not guaranteed;
The most important thing is that my usual fighting method of long-range javelin + mid-range Wind Blade + process Edgeless has to be completely redone. Switching between Edgeless and short sword or dagger with left and right hands has no effect at all. The only option left is to wield Edgeless with the left hand.
The strength of his left hand may be greater than before, but his combat power has actually been reduced by at least 50%.
But it is not a dead end. As long as he is still alive and Edgeless is still in his hands, he will have another chance to come back.
He moved his eyes away from his right sleeve and looked at the huge silhouette looming in the clouds ahead.
"Master, there is only one stick of incense left." Chen Xi's voice came from the shuttle head, "Flying is prohibited near Wind and Snow Pass. You must land and report first."
Wind and Snow Pass monks are not allowed to approach at will. The first time you come, you must report to the gatekeeper monks, otherwise you will be attacked as an enemy.
Luo Ling put away Jade Slip, took out a long-distance sound transmission jade talisman from the storage ring, said a few words into it, flicked his fingertips, and the jade talisman turned into a red light and disappeared under the clouds.
Before setting off, she had notified the gatekeeper elders at the Flowing Cloud Sect at Wind and Snow Pass, this time telling them that her party was about to arrive.
A stick of incense passed quickly.
The shuttle passed through the last layer of thin clouds, and the overall outline of Wind and Snow Pass was completely spread out before our eyes. This was not the first time Qin Tiexin saw this pass, but this time when I looked at the gray city wall that stretched between the mountains, the emotions that came up in my heart were different from any time before.
When he left here, more than 300 Body Refining monks lined up to leave seclusion. He and Duan Xuan walked side by side in the queue, surrounded by noisy chatter and laughter, and the clanking of weapons. Now sitting on the shuttle and looking back, those sounds seemed to be far away.
The shuttle slowly stopped on the landing platform outside the west gate of Wind and Snow Pass. The light of the protective array dissipated, the hatch opened, and the cold wind wrapped in fine snow foam rushed towards the face. Qin Tiexin picked up Edgeless with his left hand and stood up from the tail of the shuttle.
Before he even set foot on the ground, he saw two people running towards the city gate from a distance.
The one in front was wearing a long blue and white dress, and her running movements had an eagerness that was not in line with her cold temperament. Her hair was blown away by the wind as she ran, revealing a fair face.
Behind her followed a light cyan figure. He was not tall, walked briskly, and his skirt was slightly raised as he trotted.
They are Li Yun and Nangong Yao.
Two days ago, the two of them learned that all the hundreds of monks who participated in Body Refining Master Conference were kidnapped, and their lives and deaths were unknown. Meridian Opening Middle Stage's True Person Iron Fist was killed with one knife, and Meridian Opening Peak's True Person Gu Dan had not recovered yet. The two of them were so nervous that they did not have a good rest. Li Yun even closed his eyes and saw the scene of Qin Tiexin being cut in half. As a result, they were a little absent-minded when hunting Devil Race in the past two days.
Nangong Yao felt great regret. His master asked him to take care of his junior brother, but he was too busy and asked Qin Tiexin to attend Body Refining Master Conference by himself.
If I had known this, I should have gone with my junior brother so that I could have someone to take care of me.
Two hours ago, I learned from the elders stationed at the Flowing Cloud Sect that Luo Ling and Chen Xi had rescued Qin Tiexin and arrived at Wind and Snow Pass immediately. Nangong Yao and Li Yun abandoned everything and immediately came to wait outside the west gate of Wind and Snow Pass.
Before the shuttle even landed, the two people rushed over.
Li Yun was slightly faster and ran in front of Qin Tiexin first. She originally ran very fast, but when the distance got closer to a few steps, her pace slowed down. She slowly walked to Qin Tiexin and stood two steps ahead.
His breathing has not completely calmed down, there is a thin layer of sweat on his forehead, and his eyes are slightly red, as if he has cried or been blown by the wind.
She opened her mouth and shouted softly:
"Junior Brother Qin, you are back."
