Mysteries of Immortal Puppet Master/
Chapter 21 : The Second Layer of Qi Refinement!
Long Yuan and Huo Ling looked back at the Zheng family.
The two elders of the Zheng family were trying to persuade Zheng Jian.
Zheng Jian was a young cultivator. There was a pearl-shaped gemstone in the center of his forehead.
At this moment, Zheng Jian shook his head fiercely and said firmly,"No, I have fixed the Five Elements Qi Law Formula!" No one can stop me."
An elder sighed: "Zheng Jian, you are the most outstanding person in our Zheng Clan. You have the talent of penetrating the heart, which complements our race's cultivation technique. Changing to another method is really wasting such outstanding talent."
Zheng Jian shook his head." It was the penetrating insight that told me that I must cultivate this skill as soon as possible. This will greatly benefit my Dao path!"
The clan elder shook his head: "In the clan records, there are also ancestors who have penetrating insights. Insight does give monks amazing intuition. But that doesn't mean it's always right. In the records of clan history, there are many cases of intuition error. Zheng Jian, you can't trust this talent too much."
Zheng Jian shook his head."I have never encountered a situation where intuition is wrong since I was young. This time, I chose to listen to my instincts. Seniors, thank you for your kindness. There's no need to persuade you anymore."
The clan elder sighed and took the initiative to take a step back: " How about this, Zheng Jian, you let the people in the branch first cultivate this technique and see how it goes."
Zheng Jianlang laughed: "There is no need to bring up this kind of thing!" What is a main vein and what is a branch vein? Because it's risky, so let the collateral? I'm too weak for this main meridian."
"Precisely because I am a member of the Zheng Clan, I should set an example and march forward bravely. Otherwise, what right does the main branch have to control the clan?"
"Seniors, my decision has been made."
The two elders sighed, worried and pleased.
One of them said,"Okay. I'll give you this jade slip."
"This is something Lord Zheng Shuanggou personally bestowed upon me after learning of your matter."
" The jade slip records an artifact refinement technique called the Death-Killing Flying Hook."
Zheng Jian was puzzled." I want to disperse my skills. I have to race against time. How can I refine weapons at this critical juncture?"
The elder smiled:" No rush, you should take a good look first."
Zheng Jian stuck the jade slip between his eyebrows and activated his Divine Perception to investigate.
Soon, he was beaming.
"Wonderful."
"This artifact refinement secret technique is powerful, but it has its drawbacks. Firstly, it must be combined with our clan's cultivation technique. Secondly, every hook refined would permanently reduce the cultivator's magic power by one layer. If you refine too much, the upper limit of the cultivator's magic power will become lower and lower, and you won't be able to recover."
"But it's perfect for me right now."
"My magic power was about to dissipate, so I might as well use it to refine the Death-Ending Flying Hook. Not only can it speed up the dispersion of cultivation, but it can also have such a protective treasure."
"Many thanks to Ancestor Zheng Shuanggou, many thanks to the two elders!"
The two elders stroked their beards or smiled.
"This is what you deserve."
"As expected of the son of my Zheng family. I hope you will succeed this time!"
Long Yuan Fire Spirit looked at Zheng Jian for a while, then changed direction and looked at the Ning Family.
The Ning clan leader and the elders were discussing in secret, deciding on a candidate.
The list that had just been drafted circulated among everyone.
The academy elder frowned:" The name list is inappropriate."
"Even though the Five Elements Qi Law Art came from the Imparting Bell of the Immortal Palace, it only has three layers. If you change to this method, your future is unpredictable. It's very difficult for you to voluntarily cultivate it."
" Now, if we forcefully arrange personnel, there will definitely be resentment."
"There are too many people on the list of branch meridians, and the main meridians are extremely rare. If you announce it, you won't be able to convince the public."
The War Hall elder did not care:"My Ning Family's main branch has few people, and the branch branches have many people." It's only natural that the branch branch should send more people."
" If the main meridian implicates many people, if they are sacrificed while exploring the Immortal Palace…Even if they are not sacrificed, once they can't obtain subsequent cultivation techniques in the future, they will all be half-crippled."
"This sacrifice to the main meridians is too heavy."
" I don't want to see a repeat of the civil strife from more than ten years ago!"
More than ten years ago, the Ning family migrated from the Beifeng Country and entered the South Bean Country.
On the way, they were ambushed.
Many main meridian members were sacrificed, and the Golden Core Patriarch was even seriously injured. After settling down in the city, the Ning family had been cultivating their Aurous Core for many years. They were the Aurous Core cultivators with the weakest presence in the city.
In this case, the number of branches is large, and when they see this situation, they breed ambition and brazenly stir up internal strife in an attempt to overthrow the rule of the main branch.
In the end, the main meridian was extremely dangerous.
Because of this, the members of the main branch were extremely vigilant against the branch branches of the family. They used all kinds of methods openly and secretly to think of ways to weaken the branch branches and strengthen the main branch.
In a word, the core policy of the Ning family was to strengthen the strong and weaken the weak!
However, it is difficult to grasp this policy in terms of selecting personnel to cultivate the Five Elements Qi Law Art.
This was because they didn't know what the prospects of cultivating the Five Elements Qi Law Art were.
If the prospects are promising, they will vigorously arrange the main line members. If the outlook is bleak, they will recruit more offsprings.
No one can guarantee the future now.
Family elders tend to be conservative.
After a moment of discussion, the branch personnel were finalized, while the main branch was difficult to decide, accompanied by a lot of disputes. The elders present were all members of the main branch and had their own connections and interests behind them.
The clan leader listened quietly to the elders arguing for a long time and took advantage of the gap between their breaths to interject:"No matter how many people come out of the main meridian, it is absolutely impossible without a general. There are many people in the branch branches, and without the competent people in the main branch to suppress them, it's easy for the tail to grow too big and not fall off."
The clan elders 'expressions all fell. From the clan leader's words, they wanted to produce truly good seedlings.
The clan leader continued to ask," Who in the Qi Refinement Stage of the clan can shoulder the heavy responsibility?"
The elders only thought of one person.
"It's undoubtedly Ning Xiaohui."
" She was born with a pair of icy hands. She can make ice talismans with her mind and natural spirituality. She will definitely produce high-quality talismans!"
"To let such a good seedling go…"
"I disagree!" Suddenly, Hall Talisman elder shouted, interrupting the elders 'conversation and expressing his strong opposition.
A new dispute has begun.
The clan leader had a headache. After waiting for a long time, he took advantage of the moment when the elders were panting: " Why don't we first seek Ning Xiaohui's opinion?"
The elder of the Fu Tang Clan jumped up and stood up. He pushed open the door and walked out of the meeting hall." I'll go and tell him myself!"
Soon.
"Clan elder." Ning Xiaohui bowed.
The next moment, when she learned of this, her expression changed immediately." I have the Icy Jade Hand. I should have walked the Great Dao of Talismans. This is the path of light."
" Now you want me to go to the side door, which clan elder can't look down on me?"
"I want to complain to my grandmother!"
The old man of Fu Tang's face was solemn:"I absolutely support you, Xiao Hui." Let's go. I'll go with you."
After hearing Ning Xiaohui's comment, Long Yuan spat out a mouthful of fire spiritual energy. His dragon face revealed a rich look of disdain.
He observed that it had the worst impression of the Ning family among the four factions in Fire Periston Immortal City.
Just as it was about to shift its gaze, it suddenly paused.
Not far from the Ning family's settlement, there was a simple courtyard.
In the basement of the small courtyard, there was a handicraft room.
One of the youths sat cross-legged and actively circulated his cultivation.
Blood was slowly oozing from his nose.
His cultivation technique was the Five Elements Qi Law Art, and…
Second qi layer!
