Thirteen, sapphire
"Ningxue, did I look like an immortal just now?"
Lin Ji came to Xiao Ningxue after leaving Qingjing Hall.
"It's very chic. Senior brother, you have learned how to do that..."
Hearing that Xiao Ningxue was about to reveal her skills, Lin Ji stepped forward to stop her, holding her hand and walking outside.
When Master Ye came out, he announced that he would find the two senior brothers if he had anything to do. If nothing happened, he could leave on his own.
When he came to the place where he often practices swordsmanship, he found a tree and sat down. Lin Ji let go of his hands and leaned against the tree and said comfortably.
"Uncle Ye asked me not to tell anyone about the cultivation of time and space, so I pulled you out."
"I know, I really didn't expect you, senior brother, to be able to master that skill now. It's so amazing!"
Seeing Xiao Ningxue's expression full of admiration, Lin Ji was very pleased.
"By the way, Xiao Ningxue, I will go out with Master Ye in two months to watch a swordsmanship competition."
"Can you take me with you?"
"No, I have to go. My sword skills have never been able to break through, so Uncle Ye is willing to take me there."
Seeing Xiao Ningxue looking like she was not happy and coaxing me, Lin Ji reached out and rubbed her flawless face. Well, it feels so good.
"Don't be upset, I'm not going right away, and maybe I'll be back soon."
"Okay."
Xiao Ningxue reluctantly agreed, and Lin Ji withdrew her hand and thought about the suggestion.
"Ningxue, why don't we spar? I'll only use the first level of Qi training and sword skills. I really want to know your current strength?"
"Okay, it just so happens that I also have a newly acquired water-type formation that I want to test its power. However, you have to give me time to prepare. I can't deploy it at once."
When they came to an open place, the two faced each other 5 meters apart. Some formations spread out with Xiao Ningxue as the center, just covering Lin Ji. Slowly, Lin Ji could feel the water vapor around him becoming thicker.
"Senior brother, I'm ready, let's get started."
After saying that, the surrounding area suddenly became filled with heavy fog and could not be seen
Seeing the things in front of him, Lin Ji released his mental power to explore Xiao Ningxue's current location.
Whoosh! Several fist-sized water balls came towards Lin Ji. He drew his sword and chopped them open, quickly approaching the position where Xiao Ningxue's mental power was sensed.
Lin Ji, who blocked the attack again, was already close to Xiao Ningxue and placed the sword blade across her neck.
"Ningxue, it's over."
"Senior brother, not yet."
The sound came from the wrong place. Just as Lin Ji was about to step back, Xiao Ningxue suddenly exploded in front of him, followed by an attack from behind.
‘This fake body can actually deceive the detection of mental power, it’s amazing’
Turn around and cut off the attack from behind. At the same time, the spiritual energy condenses in the direction of the fake body and wraps the light shield around the body to block the explosion.
Once again, he locked Xiao Ningxue with his mental power. This time, Lin Ji did not approach but used his spiritual energy to accumulate in his sword, preparing to try to sweep a sword energy across.
"Brother, stop, I admit defeat." Xiao Ningxue looked at the light on the sword and quickly surrendered, then dispersed the formation, and the surrounding fog slowly disappeared.
After hearing Xiao Ningxue's words, Lin Ji also dispersed the spiritual energy on the sword, sheathed it, and walked towards her position.
"Ningxue, your formation is really powerful, especially that fake body that I didn't even recognize. If Xiao Yi allows you time to use the formation, he will definitely not be your opponent."
Listening to Lin Ji's praise, Xiao Ningxue recovered a little from her disappointment that she didn't hit him.
"The fake body is very powerful and consumes a lot of money. Now I can only create one, and I'm afraid of moves with a large range and great power."
"Everyone is afraid of this kind of move! Let's talk somewhere else."
After complaining about Xiao Ningxue and looking at the pits around him, especially the big pit formed by the self-destruction of the fake body, Lin Ji suggested changing places and dragging Xiao Ningxue along.
‘Let’s go to the pavilion that Xiao Yi and Ye Wanjun are fighting over. Let me see what’s so good about this pavilion?’
Along the way, many disciples saw the two of them holding hands, and they were all used to it, so they didn't make any noise. In the past, Xiao Ningxue would blush if someone saw her holding hands, but now she naturally chatted with Lin Ji while walking.
.
"Strange, isn't it said that this pavilion is very popular? Why are you the only one here, Ye Wanjun?"
From a distance, it looked like an antique pavilion. It was not very large and contained only a stone table and four stone benches. When they came to the edge of the pavilion, only Ye Wanjun was sitting inside. Lin Ji saw this and stepped forward to ask.
"Because I have cleared away the people around me and am waiting for you to come and hand over the pavilion to you."
Lin Ji and the two found a seat to sit down and continued to ask.
"What is it about this pavilion that makes you fight over it?"
"You will know if you try practicing for yourself. Lin Ji and I are far behind you now, but I will catch up with you sooner or later!"
After leaving these words, Ye Wanjun left. Looking at the leaving figure, Lin Ji said to Xiao Ningxue.
"Try it and see what effect it has."
Lin Ji felt that his thinking was speeding up and he could perceive things around him more clearly, and his understanding of time and space had also improved.
[When you come into contact with sapphire, your understanding will increase slightly and your understanding of time and space will deepen. However, you cannot break through because your cultivation is not enough to fully release the space and time domain.]
Lin Ji was surprised. It was actually something that could increase understanding. How could it be here? At this time, Xiao Ningxue also quit practicing and looked at him in surprise.
"Senior brother, this pavilion is so amazing. I originally had a lot of things that I couldn't figure out about the water attribute formation, but now I suddenly understand a lot more."
"This pavilion can increase your understanding, but I don't know why it is here."
The two discussed it for a while but couldn't figure out why. They agreed to come here to practice in the future. The feeling of increasing their understanding is a bit addictive.
A cave located in Xuantian Sect.
"True Lord, my new disciple Lin Ji has learned "Time and Space". I will report to True Lord right away, hoping to strengthen his protection."
Ye Xun respectfully reported to the real king sitting on Yupu.
"Go on, after Lin Ji leaves Duanshan for a year, find a reason to give him the best courtyard under the golden elixir in the door. This is the defensive talisman I made and give it to him. It will be automatically triggered when receiving fatal damage."
The true king on Yupu handed a golden talisman to Ye Xun and explained other matters.
"Zhenjun has one more thing. Lin Ji has been unable to break through in his swordsmanship. I hope to go with me to a nearby dynasty in February to watch a swordsmanship competition. This is the selection of casual disciples of the Sword Sect every three years."
"You can go. There won't be any danger with this talisman here. Ye Xun, you can go too."
After Ye Xun went out, Zhenjun showed a smile.
'This technique has been in the sect for 500 years, and no one has learned it except for those who have realized it themselves. I just ordered 10 years ago that this technique can be given to the talented monks in the sect to learn for free, and some of them have learned it, Tianxin
Come to me! If you have a chance, you can go to that planet again'
As the sky grew dark, Lin and Ji went back to their rooms to sort out what they had learned today.
‘Because of the help of Sapphire, I feel that I am very close to the breakthrough in swordsmanship. Let’s try it in the Tower of Trial’
