Life in Houshan was quite dull. Because it was in the inner gate, Ning Shi had no way to contact his friends, so he stayed in this room to rest.

During this period, Ning Shi sent his telekinesis into the soul-binding bottle many times, but for some reason, the souls of the three elders clearly stayed in the bottle, but could not be contacted no matter what.

Thinking of that day in the martial arts competition when Ning Tian suddenly burst out with the divine power of the Herringbone Scroll, and the three elders worked tirelessly to instill soul power into his body, Ning Shi felt as regretful as a knife.

"Why did I have to be so aggressive at that time! If I had surrendered early, the three elders would not have..." Ning Shi's face became extremely ugly, and he felt regretful and wanted to slap himself twice.

He has been cultivating for nearly a month. The first thing he does when he opens his eyes every day is to call the three elders, but every time he is like a stone sinking in the sea, there is no response at all, and Ning Shi's heart becomes more and more depressed.

"Something happened?" Ning Shi's mouth twitched slightly, and he couldn't help but feel worried.

After spending more than a few months together, he has become somewhat inseparable from these three old men, and a feeling of panic quietly spreads in his heart. The scholar's pride and erudition, the eldest elder's earnest nagging, and his aunt's meticulous care, with them by his side

, he was extremely at ease. He had someone to guide his cultivation, and someone to give him advice when encountering enemies. But now, there was suddenly no news from the three elders. Ning Shi had always regarded them as dependent, and now that he suddenly lost news about them, he really felt a

Unable to conceal the panic.

He bit his lip tightly, looked at the simple soul-binding bottle in his hand, carefully dug his spiritual thoughts out of the sea of ​​consciousness, and slowly drilled towards the mouth of the soul-binding bottle.

When his spiritual thoughts just came into contact with the mouth of the soul-binding bottle, a huge suction force burst out from it. Ning Shi's spiritual thoughts were caught off guard and instantly sucked into the bottle.

As the world spun for a while, the power of Ning Shi's spiritual thoughts turned into a light group emitting a faint fluorescent light. In front of him, three peaceful light groups flickered on and off.

Looking at these three balls of light that could be extinguished at any time, Ning Shi's heart hurt extremely.

"Uncle, are you okay?" the great elder floated closer to Ning Shi and asked.

"Great Elder, are you okay?" Hearing the Great Elder's voice, the boulder in Ning Shi's heart fell.

Although he was a little relieved, he knew that blocking Ning Tian's sword this time had greatly exhausted the three elders. In the past, their bodies could freely transform into human forms, but now they can't even maintain the form of a ball of light.

It's difficult. From this we can see that the situation of the elders is really bad.

"It's not a big problem. It's just that you have to be careful in the next period. By the way, how is the result of the game? It seems that there is nothing serious about your soul."

The great elder's soul wavered very softly, and he seemed to be smiling. Ning Shi had a headache, but he knew that the Nanyinqin was taken away, and he should not hide it from the elder: "Elder..."

“The game shouldn’t have a winner?”

"yes……"

"Besides, since your injury is almost healed, I'm afraid you're not at home now?"

Ning Shi was silent, his bright spiritual thoughts seemed to confirm the elder's guess, and as Ning Shi's mood became darker.

Seeing his expression, the great elder seemed to have anticipated the outcome. He smiled freely and said: "The choice was no longer in your hands at that time. I have anticipated this outcome."

"Elder, Najie and Nanyinqin were all searched by people from the inner palace." Ning Shi seemed a little excited. He really couldn't calm down. Many things in Nashi can be regarded as Ning Shi's entire family fortune, except for

The Crane Foot Lamp, Don't Give Up, and the collection of Taoist secrets are left outside the home. Even bone pearls and other items are all included in the stone.

"I know, so the moment you fainted, I controlled the soul-binding bottle to roll out of your arms." The great elder said with a smile.

Ning Shi was stunned and slightly surprised: "Did you get out on your own, elder?"

"You bastard! What are you talking about?" The spiritual light formed by the Great Elder flashed rapidly, as if he was glaring at Ning Shi.

When Ning Shi saw this scene, he waved his hands awkwardly and said with a smile: "Elder, look at you, you know I didn't mean that."

The great elder smiled and said: "No need to explain, I know. In addition, you don't have to take it too seriously about Nanyinqin. At this time, those people must be paying attention to your things even if they have doubts about it.

On that golden talisman, as for the things inside the stone, they definitely wouldn't be able to see any clues. Even if someone had such a discerning eye, they wouldn't dare to think in the direction of the four artifacts in the world. So, at that time, there were only three of us.

Your things will be safe if they don't fall into other people's hands."

The elder's words made Ning Shi obviously relieved.

"But..." Seeing Ning Shi's peace of mind, the Great Elder couldn't help but change his tone and warned: "Don't take it too lightly. In this conference, you have been exposed to Shao Yanfei. If I were him, I would definitely

I will find a way to get rid of you. You must be careful when you are outside, and you cannot be careless, otherwise you will be in catastrophe."

"What about you, teacher?" Ning Shi heard the implication of the great elder's words and asked hurriedly.

"Me? We three old guys can't make suggestions by your side in a short period of time. I am very satisfied with your performance at the conference. It seems that you have some momentum as the future head of the Nanyin family! After this battle, who will you fight against?"

I can proudly say, 'Look, the successor chosen by my great elder is an invincible being among his peers.'" The great elder first praised Ning Shi a few words with joy, and then said with a somewhat bitter look on his face: "But the scenery is always beautiful.

You have to pay a price for blocking that blow for you, but it took away nearly 99% of the spiritual power of our three old guys. Together with the last effort to move the soul-binding bottle, your aunt and the scholar fell into a deep sleep.

, my soul power has also been exhausted."

Hearing this, Ning Shi's face changed wildly. Of course he knew what it meant for a soul without passion to have his spiritual thoughts exhausted.

"Don't worry, although the power of spiritual thoughts has been exhausted, thanks to this soul-binding bottle, it has not yet reached the point where the soul is scattered. This Demon Sect's soul-binding bottle is really cruel, and the soul inside can dissipate on its own even if it wants to.

No! The prison cage has become a life-saving straw. This is really a blessing in disguise." The great elder exchanged words with Ning Shi with a twinkle.

"Then Great Elder, how long will it take for you to recover before you wake up?"

"It's hard to say. Maybe I really need to sleep for a while." The great elder stared softly at Ning Shi who was biting his lip, and said with a smile: "In the next period of time, there will be no nagging from the three of us old guys.

, you have to be careful in everything! The only thing I can't worry about right now is Shao Yanfei, that bastard from the Heavenly Demon Sect. Although you are thoughtful, you must be wary of this guy. Try to hide as much as possible and don't attack hard. Remember, this guy can be in Zhenjiang.

To reach such a high status on such an important frontier as the government is definitely not an ordinary role."

Looking at the great elder who was about to fall asleep but still remembered his instructions, Ning Shi's eyes suddenly turned red. He clenched his fists tightly and whispered hoarsely: "I'm sorry, elder."

Ning Shi knew in his heart that if he had not insisted on breaking up with Ning Tian, ​​then the power of the three elders' spiritual thoughts would never have been absorbed. Now, there is no need to rely on deep sleep to restore the soul.

"Hahahaha, why do you blame yourself? It just fell asleep for a while, and it didn't completely dissipate. If you had given up rationally at that time, I would have felt unwilling. I am very satisfied with the current results. I appreciate your progress and hard work very much.

!" The Great Elder's light ball seemed to want to pat Ning Shi on the shoulder, but his soul was too weak to deserve to be turned into a hearty laugh.

"Okay, the remaining spiritual power is about to be used up. When you go out, remember to be careful and watch out for Shao Yanfei." The great elder's transformed soul light group suddenly became much more illusory. It was worth ending the conversation early, and said with a smile.

.

"Elder, take care!" Ning Shi's eyes were red, but it was a pity that he only had such a trace of soul that could not form a human form. Otherwise, he really wanted to kowtow to these three elders who cared for him wholeheartedly.

Looking happily at the young man who had gone through this competition and become more mature, the Great Elder nodded with a smile. The ball of light seemed to melt and slowly landed on the soul-binding bottle, like a ball of flying cotton wool.

"Uncle, I hope that when I wake up, I can see that you have become a strong man in your own right. Carefully preserve the amulet your mother gave you. From the moment I met you to the present, I am very satisfied with you." There is a lot of hope in it.

With a faint laugh, the soul light ball completely fell to the ground, as if it had turned into a stubborn stone, completely motionless.
