Pope System of Rebirth

Qin Lang stared blankly at this scene, the shock in his heart had not yet calmed down, when a figure suddenly appeared beside him, wearing a bamboo hat, it was Qin Xiaocang.

"Feng'er." Qin Xiaocang called.

"Three, third uncle." Qin Lang finally came to his senses and looked at Qin Xiaocang.

At this moment, Qin Lang was in a miserable state, with injuries all over his body. If it weren't for the help of the Qinglong Jade and the Earth Spirit Ring, I'm afraid he would have become one of the corpses around him in this battle tonight.

After tonight's battle, the mercenaries and townspeople suffered heavy casualties.

According to subsequent statistics, there were only 13 mercenaries left out of the original 70, and all of them suffered from injuries of various sizes. Of the more than 300 townspeople who participated in the war, less than 23 out of 10 survived.

After this battle, Qin Lang deeply understood the responsibility and cruelty of being a mercenary.

Mercenaries, in order to complete their missions and protect ordinary people, sometimes risk their lives. They often wander between life and death. From this point of view, mercenaries are more ignorant of life and death than ordinary people.

Mercenaries will do everything they can to survive in a battle. They have an amazing will to survive and a spirit of teamwork. From this point of view, mercenaries value and cherish life more than ordinary people.

Mercenary is a lamentable, sad and respectable profession.

However, it is also the most dangerous profession. According to incomplete statistics from the mercenary union, the mortality rate among starless mercenaries is as high as 50% every year, and starless mercenaries are often not recognized as real mercenaries. They are the largest number.

A class, but also the humblest class.

The mortality rate of other star-rated mercenaries is not low, reaching almost 25%. Even if they do not die, many mercenaries become disabled in order to complete their tasks, and have since become ordinary people, or even worse than ordinary people.

Mercenary is a cruel profession. If you are not mentally prepared to sacrifice and be disabled at any time, don't become a mercenary.

This is what Qin Lang learned later, and he agreed deeply, but at the same time he couldn't help but sigh.

"Feng'er, you passed the assessment. Remember this battle. Remember tonight. Remember all those people who sacrificed their lives to protect the town."

After Qin Xiaocang said these words, he left, leaving Qin Lang standing alone on the ground full of blood and corpses, facing the cold night wind and deep in thought.

The waning moon sheds a faint moonlight through the clouds, reflecting the miserable earth, and outlines Qin Lang's desolate and lonely figure.

The next day, the surviving people built tombstones for all the townspeople and mercenaries who died to commemorate them. Aguo also found the families of the mercenaries who died through various channels and gave them a certain amount of money as final compensation.

Qin Lang returned to the town, looking at the rows of simple but heavy tombstones, his heart couldn't help but move, and he fell into deep thought again.

After this mercenary mission, Qin Lang understood the cruelty of the world for the first time, and for the first time he understood the tragedy and respectability of mercenaries. Although he only had very brief contact with these people, he could not name a few of them.

names, but their figures will always be engraved in his heart.

This mission is a starless high-level mission. It can be said to be the most difficult among the starless missions and has the highest death rate. Anyone who is willing to accept the mission is prepared to die. But when you really see someone dying in front of your eyes, everyone will

I can't help but feel sad, especially for some of my close friends and comrades-in-arms.

Time flies by, and it has been three days since that night. Most of the surviving mercenaries received their wages and left. Although the thug A Guo was extremely cruel to enemies and beasts, he was good to the mercenaries. He himself

He dug into his pocket and gave everyone double the salary.

Qin Lang had been confused for the past three days, staying in the room and falling into silence all day long. Qin Xiaocang received the salary for him, and because he had done a lot to kill the wolf king Qin Lang, and the wolf king was a spiritual beast and was worth a lot of money, so Qin Lang

Lang got an additional twenty silver coins, and this time he got a total of thirty silver coins.

Qin Xiaocang left immediately without taking Qin Lang. He knew that Qin Lang still needed time to digest this experience. He was not in a hurry and waited patiently in Sangluo Town.

Two days later, Aguo left. However, Lansley, Granner and others stayed to help the townspeople rebuild Sanluo Town.

On this day, Qin Lang finally recovered and found Qin Xiaocang.

When Qin Xiaocang saw Qin Lang, he smiled slightly and said: "Feng'er, this is very close to Ningyang City. My third uncle will take you there to see it and hand over the task there. I will teach you the formula for practicing sword energy on the way.

When you get to Ningyang City, you can try to practice there."

"It all depends on Third Uncle's arrangement." Qin Lang nodded and said, he was also curious about Ningyang City.

Soon, Qin Xiaocang and Qin Lang left Sangluo Town and headed north to Ningyang City.

When leaving, Lanceli, Xiao Ma, Granner and others all came out to see him off. After this battle, they got to know each other. They all looked up to Qin Lang with admiration and were very grateful. If it weren't for Qin Lang's powerful performance, they would have

Maybe I won't be able to wait until A Guo comes back.

Qin Lang also remembered them all in his heart. They were the first people Qin Lang met outside. Although they were not friends now, they had experienced life and death together. This experience was extremely rare and would be unforgettable for life.

When night fell, Qin Lang and Qin Xiaocang arrived at Ningyang City.

The two of them entered through the south gate. There were several soldiers guarding the entrance. There was no strict interrogation. They only needed to hand over 5 copper coins each to enter.

Although it is night, the lights in Ningyang City are still brightly lit, just like daytime. Night, for some people, the day has just begun.

As the fourth largest city in Rex, Ningyang City is undoubtedly prosperous. Even though it is night, the streets are still crowded with people, and the sounds of various hawkers surround our ears. Some special entertainment venues such as pubs and gambling houses are even more crowded.

It’s lively and there’s an endless flow of people.

Qin Xiaocang found a hotel to stay in in the south of the city. Qin Lang immediately locked himself in the room and began to recall the sword energy cultivation method Qin Xiaocang taught him on the way.

Sword Qi is the foundation of sword cultivation, just as elements are as important to spiritual cultivation.

There are two ways for sword cultivators to cultivate sword energy. One is like Qin Lang, who has switched from spiritual cultivation to sword cultivating. He originally possesses a certain amount of spiritual energy or spiritual power in his body. Through long-term sword practice, he has the ability to master the sword.

After gaining a certain familiarity and understanding, through the perception of the sword, a special method is used to gradually transform the spiritual energy into sword energy.

The other type is those who have no spiritual energy foundation in their bodies. They need to understand the way of the sword, use the sword as a medium to understand the special atmosphere that exists between heaven and earth, and then still use the special magic formula to absorb it into the body and transform it into sword energy.

.

Of course, if you originally have spiritual seeds in your body and don't want to break them, you can also adopt the latter method to practice sword energy.

But of these two methods, the latter is obviously more difficult than the former. Therefore, generally those who possess spiritual energy will directly convert it into sword energy, instead of choosing to go to heaven and earth out of thin air to sense the special aura and then convert it into sword energy.

Qin Lang is now in this situation, and he is reluctant to break the spiritual power seeds. After all, it is hard-won. And it is a symbol of his past as a spiritual practitioner.

Therefore, he resolutely decided to keep the seeds of spiritual power. He used the sword to understand the special existence between heaven and earth, and cultivated sword energy out of thin air.

Perhaps this would only increase the difficulty and slow down his cultivation progress. But he would never regret it.

"The sky and the earth are vast, and the sword is the guide. Ren Du is enlightened, and the mind and spirit are united. The mind is focused on Baihui, and the mind is looking at the Dantian. The source of vitality, Qingming Qingming!"

An ancient and bitter spell sounded in Qin Lang's heart. He sat cross-legged, eyes closed, holding the Soul Crying Sword in both hands, his mind clear, and he completely released his understanding of the sword.

In an instant, the Soul Crying Sword seemed to be faintly emitting a strange light, and at this moment Qin Lang felt that his heart and soul were floating away from the body, as if he had merged into the vast world.

Strange to say, according to Qin Xiaocang, those who practice sword energy for the first time usually fail. It takes several attempts before the soul can enter this mysterious realm and merge with heaven and earth.

Vaguely, Qin Lang discovered that there were wisps of strange mist floating between the sky and the earth. Although it was not much, it was real.

That is the special breath that needs to be absorbed into the body, and it is also an important thing to transform into sword energy.

Qin Lang took a deep breath and tried to absorb the mist, but it had no effect. Only one or two extremely thin and fine mists were sucked away.

Qin Lang was not disappointed or discouraged. He had long heard Qin Xiaocang say that no one could successfully absorb a large amount of mist the first time, so he was not in a hurry.

He took this rare opportunity to look around carefully. It was boundless here, and wisps of fog scattered scattered throughout the world. Suddenly he looked up and saw that the sky above was blocked by a thick layer of fog, making it impossible to see.

Qing has something behind it.

Qin Lang frowned and kept staring at the sky, feeling that there was something familiar to him there.

After staring for a long time, his eyes seemed to have penetrated the fog and faintly saw a dazzling sharp light.

The sharp light emitted a trace of golden light, which was extremely strange and seemed to contain terrifying power. Qin Lang felt that the familiar existence was this sharp light, but he had no idea what it was, and he was confused.

He wanted to observe the sharp light more carefully, but the fog appeared again, completely blocking the sharp light.

All this happened so fast that Qin Lang felt dazed for a while, as if the previous scene had never really happened.

"Then, what is it?" Qin Lang murmured and frowned more and more, and the memory became more and more blurred.

He frowned and looked up at the sky again. It was still foggy and he couldn't see clearly what was behind him.

Withdrawing his gaze and burying the doubts in his heart, Qin Lang began to work hard to absorb the strange mist around him and prepare for practicing his sword energy.

After a long time, Qin Lang opened his eyes in the room.

He felt that there was a small group of strange gas in his body, which was the mist he had absorbed in the strange state before. What he had to do now was to use the special magic formula to make the mist circulate in his body, and finally turn it into

The sword energy is stored in the Dantian.

"The sky and the earth are vast, and the sword is the guide. Ren Du is enlightened, and the mind and spirit are united. The mind is focused on Baihui, and the mind is looking at the Dantian. The source of vitality, Qingming Qingming!"

Qin Lang closed his eyes again and recited this spell silently. The mist in his body rippled and surged along a special trajectory under the control of his mind.

The mist continues to surge along the meridians, opening up and expanding the meridians, while the mist gradually becomes thinner and less.

After a week of this, the mist reached the Dantian and became very thin and light, but a trace of strange gas appeared next to it.

The gas is as light as a hairspring and is difficult to detect without careful observation, but it has a faint aura of vigor and seems to be indestructible.

This is sword energy. The strange mist circulates in the body for a week and finally transforms into a faint sword energy!

Leave the sword energy in the Dantian and activate the magic formula to drive the remaining mist to circulate in the body again.

Originally, the spiritual power seeds cultivated through spiritual practice were also located in the Dantian. At this moment, the appearance of sword energy triggered a strange scene.

I saw that the newly emerged sword energy rushed towards the spiritual power seed without Qin Lang's control, and actually attached to it.

"Huh?"

This strange scene immediately caught Qin Lang's attention. He had never heard Qin Xiaocang talk about this situation. After all, Qin Xiaocang originally chose to convert spiritual energy into sword energy and had never encountered the current situation. However, on the mainland, Qin Lang

Sword cultivators like this are rare, and I have never heard of sword energy being attached to spiritual seeds.

Qin Lang didn't know whether this change was good or bad. After observing it for a long time, he had no clue. He simply gave up and continued to study, hoping to convert the remaining mist into sword energy to see if it would also adhere to the spiritual seeds.

When a ray of sunlight scattered by the window, Qin Lang finally completed the final transformation. The small amount of mist in his body completely dissipated and transformed into two faint sword auras.

For a swordsman who is practicing sword energy for the first time, being able to cultivate two traces of sword energy on the first night is already considered a miracle.

And when this second trace of sword energy appeared in the Dantian, it also automatically rushed to the spiritual power seeds and attached to them.

"To become a spiritual master through spiritual cultivation, it means absorbing elements into the body, attaching to the spiritual power seeds, gradually taking shape, and turning into a spiritual body. But the sword energy I have cultivated now actually attaches to the spiritual power seeds like elements. Is it right?

Can you also cultivate a spiritual body?"

Qin Lang opened his eyes and suddenly had this idea in his mind.

"Replacing elements with sword energy... maybe this can really be successful. At that time, I... hey, do you want to ask the third uncle?"

Qin Lang stared at the spiritual power seeds with two traces of sword energy in his dantian, and fell into thoughts.

"Dong dong"

"Feng'er, are you up?"

Qin Xiaocang's voice came from outside the door, causing Qin Lang to wake up and turn around.

Qin Lang stood up, opened the door, and said respectfully: "Third uncle."

Qin Xiaocang looked at Qin Lang's kind smile and asked, "Did you practice sword energy last night?"

"kindness."

"Oh? How's it going? Did you encounter any problems?"

Hearing this, Qin Lang hesitated for a moment and shook his head.

Qin Xiaocang saw Qin Lang's hesitation at that moment, but did not point it out. He smiled slightly and said: "Sword Qi cannot be cultivated overnight. There is no need to rush. Take your time. If you don't understand anything, you can always ask me."

"yes."

"Follow me to the mercenary union later to hand over the mission and buy some gifts for Yan'er." Qin Xiaocang said.

Qin Lang nodded, thinking of Yan'er, he couldn't help but smile, thinking about what gift to buy for her.

Night is a happy time for most people in Ningyang City, but now that they have had a good night and have gone to rest, the early morning is relatively quiet.

However, there were still many pedestrians on the street, stalls selling breakfast were also set up, and several shops on both sides started operating early.

Qin Xiaocang took Qin Lang out of the hotel and went straight to the branch tower of the mercenary union here.

The mercenary union in Ningyang City is located in the city. The branch tower is also a five-story spire, but what is carved on the tower is a huge sun totem.

The appearance of the branch tower represents the attributes and strength of the tower owner. The fifth floor represents that he is a five-star mercenary, and the sun carved on the wall represents that he is a famous light spiritual practitioner.

In Rex, five-star mercenaries are extremely rare, and the highest level of existence is six-star, which can only be counted on one finger. Anyone who can become a four-star mercenary is considered a strong person in the mercenary world and is known to the world.

There were not many people in front of the branch tower. There were only a few guards here and there, yawning and standing there listlessly.

At this time, a woman in red came from the other side of the street. When she saw the guard, she frowned and snorted heavily.

This cold snort was like thunder, making the two guards shiver and wake up immediately.

When he saw the visitor, he looked embarrassed, lowered his head and said respectfully: "Miss."

"Huh, I'm lazy so early in the morning. I'm going to tell my dad." The woman in red said angrily with a cold face.

"Miss, we know we were wrong, please don't tell the tower master."

"Yes, we know our mistake and we will never dare to be lazy again."

"Miss, you have a lot of money, please forgive us this time."

"We will never dare to be lazy again. If we make this mistake again, we will be punished by the young lady."

The two guards had grimaces on their faces and begged the woman in red.

"It's just this once, we won't do it next time! Stand up straight, someone is coming." The woman in red put away her anger, saw Qin Xiaocang and two people approaching, said this, and entered the branch tower.

"Thank you, Miss." The two guards were delighted when they heard this. They cheered up and stood up straight, exuding a sense of power.

Qin Lang and Qin Xiaocang saw this scene from a distance, and Qin Lang didn't care about it. Qin Xiaocang looked at the woman in red and smiled in his heart. He murmured in a low voice: "That is the daughter of Lord Wuta, which is quite interesting.

.I heard that he has a good talent. He is just in his early twenties, but he is already a third-level heavenly spirit leader. I think he will surpass his father in the future.

There are almost three years left. National competitions are about to be held again. Domestic selections should be held in two years' time. I think she will participate and get a good ranking."

In his murmur, the two arrived in front of the branch tower.

Unsurprisingly, both guards cast doubtful glances at Qin Lang. After all, Qin Lang was only a thirteen- or fourteen-year-old boy who was incompatible with the mercenary union.

The layout of the hall is the same as that of Kunluo City. There is not much difference. However, there are not many mercenaries in the branch tower at this time. They are scattered inside, checking, accepting tasks, or talking to each other and exchanging information.

Qin Xiaocang asked Qin Lang to submit the task alone. He went to the window dedicated to submitting tasks and handed over the mercenary badge, mercenary manual and the certificate given by Sangluo Town.

Opposite the window was a young man. He took the things and looked at Qin Lang doubtfully, and then looked at the three things one by one carefully.

The certificate given by Sangluo Town had the official seal of the town and roughly described the battle and Qin Lang's performance. They were very satisfied with and extremely grateful to Qin Lang.

This is the assessment and evaluation of Qin Lang's completion of this mission, and the mercenary union will use this as evidence to record it in the mercenary manual.

After a long time, the man was finally convinced that Qin Lang was a mercenary, and he had completed the starless high-level mission very well and received high praise.

"Congratulations, Mr. Qin, you have completed a high-level mission without a star. As long as you complete four more missions of the same level, and then when you reach the level of Sword Master, you can become a one-star mercenary. You are welcome to accept the mission again.

"The man said with a smile, and handed the mercenary manual and mercenary badge back to Qin Lang.

There are two conditions for star improvement, one is the improvement of cultivation level, and the other is the completion of tasks.

From no star to one star, you need to have the cultivation level of Sword Leader or Ling Leader as a foundation, and then complete five starless advanced tasks.

Among them, 3 starless intermediate tasks can replace one starless high-level task, and 3 low-level tasks can replace one intermediate level. In other words, if you do the simplest starless low-level task, you need to complete 45 of them.

Of course, if you directly complete two or more one-star missions, it will be considered as meeting the standard.

Qin Lang retrieved his things and didn't stay too long. He wanted to return to Qin Xiaocang and leave together.

At this time, the woman in red came down from upstairs and appeared in front of Qin Lang.

The close contact allowed Qin Lang to clearly see the woman's appearance.

It must be said that this is a stunning woman who will captivate the whole country.

I saw her long wavy red hair, which is extremely bright and charming, her white and tender skin, which can be broken by blowing, her crystal red lips, exuding an alluring aura, her tall nose, charming red phoenix eyes and those two

Curved eyebrows outline exquisite and flawless facial features.

Wearing a red dress, she has a sexy figure with curves and curves, which is very exciting.

Even if he is a lover who has seen countless women, he can't help but be moved and stunned when he suddenly faces such a peerless beauty. What's more, the young Qin Lang has faced such a beauty before.

Although Qin Lang's temperament has become somewhat withdrawn and indifferent, he is still a vigorous man. When he saw the woman in red, his cheeks turned red and his heartbeat suddenly accelerated.

"Little brother, are you a mercenary too?" The woman in red didn't feel any discomfort at all. She glanced at the mercenary manual and badge in Qin Lang's hand and asked with a slight smile.

Qin Lang nodded silently, lowered his head, walked around and came to Qin Xiaocang's side.

When Qin Xiaocang saw this scene, he nodded to the woman in red and left with Qin Lang.

"That man is only fourteen or fifteen years old. He didn't expect to become a mercenary. I wonder if he can become as strong as dad in the future?" The woman in red looked at Qin Lang's retreating back and said to herself, "By the way, a few days ago.

When Aunt You came back, she mentioned to me a little mercenary named Qin Lang, I wonder if it was him?"

After leaving the branch tower, neither Qin Lang nor Qin Xiaocang mentioned the previous scene. Qin Xiaocang looked around and led Qin Lang to the west.

After a while, the entrance to a market appeared in front. It was a free trading place where various things were traded.

At this time, there were more and more pedestrians on the street, and there were faint sounds of hawking and noise from the trading place.

The two of them walked in, and soon they saw people selling swords, people supplying spiritual tools, daily necessities, gold and silver jewelry, everything was available.

Qin Lang looked around and saw a shop selling jewelry. He said to Qin Xiaocang, "Uncle Third, I want to go there and have a look."

Qin Xiaocang glanced at it and said, "Okay, wait for me there."

After saying that, Qin Xiaocang continued to walk forward, while Qin Lang walked towards the shop.

The shop had obviously just opened for business. There were not many customers yet, and there was only one waiter inside, yawning repeatedly.

When the waiter saw someone arriving, he was excited at first and immediately greeted him enthusiastically. But after seeing Qin Lang, his expression changed and he yelled: "Where are you kid? This is not your place. Go away."

Qin Lang was not angry and took out the mercenary badge.

"Eh? Mercenary? Such a small mercenary?" The guy was stunned, full of doubts in his mind, but he didn't try to chase him away.

Qin Lang walked up to the counter and looked at them one by one. There were all kinds of jewelry, including hairpins, bracelets, rings, jade pendants, etc., a dazzling array of items.

While watching, Qin Lang's soul suddenly trembled, as if something attracted him.

He kept his face and walked slowly, looking at various jewelry, and finally fixed his eyes on a simple, dark ring.

This ring is placed at the very edge. It looks ordinary and simple in style, so it is not eye-catching at all.

But at this moment, Qin Lang's soul was constantly trembling, and he seemed a little weird.

Qin Lang tried to exude a ray of spiritual power that was beyond ordinary people, and approached the ancient ring, but his eyes moved elsewhere, without attracting the waiter's attention.

Mental power was invisible and invisible. The guy was just an ordinary person and didn't notice it at all.

When that ray of spiritual power touched the ancient ring, suddenly, a suction force came from the ring and sucked it away.

"Um?"

Qin Lang was shocked. This strange scene meant that this ancient ring must be extraordinary, and he suddenly felt happy.

He came here originally to choose a gift for Qin Yaner, but unexpectedly he had an unexpected encounter and found a treasure.

"Man, how much does that butterfly hairpin cost?" Qin Lang did not look at the ancient ring, but pointed to a golden and exquisite butterfly hairpin.

Hearing this, the waiter showed a flattering smile and said: "Objective, this hairpin only costs eighteen silver coins."

Eighteen silver coins may not sound like much, but it is twice the monthly income of an ordinary person, which shows that this hairpin is not ordinary, but it is not the highest quality either.

"Yes." Qin Lang responded softly and looked at the hairpin carefully, showing a look of fondness.

Upon seeing this, the clerk immediately came forward and introduced the advantages of this hairpin, saying that it was quite precious.

Qin Lang nodded, glanced at the counter inadvertently, and suddenly his eyes stopped on the weird ancient ring, and he couldn't help but ask: "How much does that ring cost?"

"Objectively, that ring is an antique, worth 14 silver coins."

"14 silver coins?" Qin Lang shook his head and said, "I like this hairpin very much, and I am also interested in the ring. If you can make it cheaper, I will buy it together."

After saying that, Qin Lang did not go to see the waiter. He was not worried or anxious and continued to look at the butterfly hairpin.

"This..." The clerk seemed to be hesitant and sighed, "That's all, objectively, you are the first customer today, so I will give you a discount. I will sell you these two things together, which will be counted as 30 silver coins. You see

how?"

"Okay, help me pack up the hairpin." Qin Lang agreed without any further counter-offering, and took out 30 silver coins from his pocket.

This is the reward I got for completing the mission before, so I took out all of it.

The clerk was overjoyed. Not long after he opened the door, he concluded a business, which was a great success.

What made the clerk even more happy was that the ancient ring had been in the store for many years and no one had cared about it. The store owner had long hoped that someone would buy it. The original price was indeed 14 silver coins, but now

As long as you can sell it, it's fine even if it costs a few silver coins.

After completing this task, the shop owner will definitely praise him.

The hesitations and sighs before were just posturing.

But he didn't know that Qin Lang was even more surprised than him.

The clerk collected the money and was busy wrapping up the hairpin, while Qin Lang picked up the ancient ring, glanced at it, and carefully put it into his arms. Now is not the time to study.

Soon, the clerk handed Qin Lang a beautiful wooden box, and inside the box was the hairpin for Qin Yaner. The clerk smiled and sent Qin Lang out of the store: "Objective, please go slowly.

, welcome to come again next time.”

Qin Lang nodded slightly, walked a few steps, and waited for Qin Xiaocang.

Not long after, Qin Xiaocang came back, holding a brocade box in his hand. Apparently he had gained something.

After both of them bought things, they stopped staying and left the trading place. Qin Xiaocang took Qin Lang around Ningyang City and saw many interesting things.

Time passed quickly. In the blink of an eye, it was night again. Qin and Lang returned to the hotel after witnessing the unique bustle of the night.

As soon as Qin Lang arrived at the hotel, he locked himself in the room again.

After a whole day, he finally had the opportunity to carefully observe the strange ancient ring.

He carefully took out the ancient ring from his arms and placed it on the table. It looked very ordinary and there was nothing special about it.

After looking at it for a long time, there was no difference. Qin Lang once again exuded a trace of spiritual power and approached it.

When that trace of spiritual power touched the ancient ring, a strange scene happened again. A suction force suddenly came and sucked away the spiritual power.

Seeing this scene, Qin Lang suddenly became energetic, his eyes were fixed on Gu Jie, and he once again exuded a trace of spiritual power and leaned towards it.

This time he moved extremely slowly, concentrating on trying to figure out some mystery.

That trace of spiritual power slowly approached, and at the moment of contact, a suction force came out of the ancient ring, and it was absorbed and moved away in the blink of an eye.

Qin Lang's eyes lit up and he was surprised: "Why has the absorbed spiritual power been cut off, making it impossible for me to investigate the situation in the ring? I don't believe that I can't help you, and I will find out today!"

Thinking of this, his mental power exploded and swept towards the ancient ring.

Since Qin Lang's mental power is stronger than ordinary people, which is a major feature, in order to make full use of this advantage, he has read through the few books on mental power in his family to learn simple applications.

I learned from books that usually people with strong mental power, such as illusionists, can use mental power to replace their eyes and ears to observe things around them. This is a basic ability.

He had wanted to use this method to observe the ancient ring several times before, but his mental energy was inexplicably sucked away, and the connection with him was cut off, making it impossible for him to investigate.

The powerful mental power impacted on the ancient ring, and a strange force emerged instantly, sucking it in, but this time the connection between them was not immediately severed.

Qin Lang suddenly discovered that the ancient ring was completely dark, and there was a rapidly rotating vortex in the center. His mental power was attracted by it and was subsequently swallowed by it.

In the blink of an eye, the influx of spiritual power was absorbed by it and became complete, and the connection between it and Qin Lang was about to be severed.

At the moment when his mental power was about to be completely sucked into the whirlpool, an erratic voice came from nowhere.

"Put the ring on!"

Qin Lang, who was already in shock, was stunned. The next moment, he completely disconnected from his mental power and returned to the room.

"This..." Qin Lang stared blankly at the ancient ring on the table, the erratic voice from before echoing in his ears.

This ancient ring is so weird that Qin Lang doesn't know whether he should wear it as the voice said. Maybe after wearing it, the confusion in his heart will be solved, or it may be a trap that puts him in danger.

middle.

However, Qin Lang didn't hesitate for long. He gritted his teeth, picked up the ancient ring, and put it on his left index finger.

The ancient ring automatically changed its size when it came close to the ring. It was put on smoothly and clasped tightly on the index finger.

Qin Lang had seen this scene before, but it was on the sixth-grade magical treasure earth spirit ring. This was enough to show that this ancient ring was definitely not an ordinary ring.

For a moment, Qin Lang's eyes darkened, and the next moment he found that the surroundings were pitch black, with a slowly rotating vortex in the center, and he actually appeared in the ancient ring!

Panic flashed by, and he quickly calmed down, walking in this pitch-black void, heading towards the only existence here - the whirlpool.

"Very good, you are indeed here..."

Suddenly, the mysterious and strange sound floated in this dark space again. Qin Lang narrowed his eyes slightly and looked around to increase his vigilance.

The whirlpool was not far away, and soon Qin Lang was less than ten feet away from it.

An attraction faintly came from the vortex. As I got closer, I realized how huge the vortex was. The speed of its rotation was not as fast as before. It became quite slow. It even seemed to be stationary at a close distance.

generally.

"Where is this? What is this whirlpool? Where does it lead to?" Qin Lang said softly, as if talking to himself, and as if he was asking about the erratic voice.

But it was quiet here, and there was no sound to respond to him, only his own slight breathing and footsteps.

Getting closer, Qin Lang frowned, with many doubts in his heart.

Suddenly, the ethereal voice finally sounded again.

"Haha. The wait is finally over, I finally let you wait for me!"

"Come in! Come into the whirlpool!"

Hearing this, Qin Lang frowned even more tightly and stopped. He did not dare to approach easily.

"Child, come in quickly. I won't hurt you."

The voice came out again. Qin Lang couldn't detect it at first, but now he realized it when he got closer. The voice also floated out of the vortex, and he also let himself enter the vortex, and the mental power that was attracted in also entered.

Within the whirlpool, it seems that all the secrets are contained in this whirlpool.

Qin Lang silently stared at the huge whirlpool less than ten feet away in front of him, and fell into hesitation.

"My child, don't be afraid, I won't harm you. Enter the vortex, I will give you a great blessing!"

The voice threw out a temptation, and Qin Lang didn't know if it was a real adventure or if the other party had a plan.

After a long time, Qin Lang didn't take another step.

The owner of the voice seemed to be a little impatient, and transmitted the message again: "My child, I really did not lie to you. My name is Duan Tianchou, and I am also a well-known figure in Tianling Continent. How could I lie to you!"

Qin Lang remained unmoved and remained where he was, seeming to be thinking.

"Hey, child, you are too careful. I will tell you the truth. I am a sword cultivator, and you are also a sword cultivator. And unlike the sword cultivators on Tianling Continent today, you are a sword cultivator.

The pure path of sword cultivation!”

Qin Lang could have pretended not to hear what he said before, but what he said after the voice caught Qin Lang's attention, and he was even more confused in his heart: "Huh? A pure swordsman?"

Seeing that Qin Lang still didn't speak or move forward, the voice continued: "My child, you have just started to practice sword energy. Do you still have spiritual seeds in your body? Our sword cultivation is actually the same as spiritual cultivation. Sword energy is that

Elements also need spiritual seeds, and they also need to combine sword energy and spiritual seeds to form a pure sword spirit!"

These words really shocked Qin Lang and caused huge waves in the sky. If Qin Xiaocang heard this, he would be even more stunned.

When Qin Lang was practicing sword energy, he had the idea of ​​replacing elements with sword energy. Unexpectedly, he heard such shocking news here, which confirmed that his idea was correct!

But on the Tianling Continent, for thousands of years, sword cultivators have mostly learned sword energy out of thin air, and do not need spiritual power seeds. I have never heard of anyone who practices sword energy and uses spiritual power seeds to form sword spirits.

"Why should I believe what you say? My third uncle, a sword cultivator, has taught me about the cultivation of sword energy. It is completely inconsistent with what you said." Qin Lang finally spoke, "How do you know the spiritual power seeds in my body and the sword?"

The existence of Qi?”

"My child, I really didn't lie to you. I have been waiting for you for a long, long time, so long that I lost track of time. I used to be a sword cultivator, a pure sword cultivator, but unfortunately now I only have one soul left. But

My soul power is quite strong. I can sense the outside world through this Mysterious Soul Ring, and I can even see through your body.

My lineage of swordsmanship has existed for tens of thousands of years. The initial swordsmanship training method is almost the same as that of spiritual cultivation, and the strength is also comparable.

But I don’t know why, a long time ago, after waking up from a deep sleep, the first sword cultivator I met had no spiritual power seeds in his body, only sword energy. Later, I learned that most sword cultivators on the mainland had

It has become like this, and only a handful of people are still the same as before.

As a result, the difficulty of sword cultivation has plummeted. Even those who have no spiritual power foundation and cannot condense spiritual power seeds can still become sword cultivators, and their practice speed will be faster than before. But such sword cultivation is no longer pure.

, the power is greatly reduced, and it is completely inferior to spiritual cultivation of the same level.

And more importantly, with such practice, the foundation is indeed lowered. The practice is very simple at the beginning, but it will become more difficult later on, and it is almost impossible to become a powerful sword cultivator."

"What!" Qin Lang was startled and heard another shocking message. (To be continued...)
