C29 Great surprise

In that moment of life and death, Zhao Mingzhe instinctively raised the vitality in his body to the limit, and used all of his strength to resist the man's seal.

Right at this moment, a dazzling light flashed, Zhao Mingzhe felt that his body and dantian were in pain at the same time, a light and a dark lock chain appeared suddenly.

The power in Zhao Mingzhe's body was suppressed by the lock chain, and disappeared in the blink of an eye. Seeing that his palm had already struck at lightning speed, Zhao Mingzhe thought inwardly. Who knows whose hand he was dying on, except, he wondered if Ouyang Yao, who had been poisoned by homocentric Gu s with him, could still live.

"Don't be nervous, it's just a joke."

Zhao Mingzhe exhaled, and almost subconsciously blurted out:

"Who the f * ck are you? Are you crazy?"

"My name is Leng Qiuping."

"Damn you, you're cold..." Zhao Mingzhe's heart skipped a beat and he continued, "Leng Qiuping, right? Don't think that just because you have the same surname as our Sect Master, you can bully the weak without restraint. Let me tell you, although I, Zhao Mingzhe, am an honorary disciple of the Phoenix Cry Sect, I am not afraid of you. "

Leng Qiuping's eyes flashed as he nodded his head.

"Mm, you're right. "Just now, I shouldn't have made this joke with you."

"I'm here to see you."

Zhao Mingzhe secretly thought, it couldn't be that just because he was tricked and lost in Zhou Changqing's plan at the woodshed, Leng Qiuping came to find him.

Just as Zhao Mingzhe was feeling bewildered, Leng Qiuping took out a blue crystal the size of a pigeon's egg. Zhao Mingzhe was so shocked that he blurted out.

"This … this is the Crystal of Origin?"

In Zhao Mingzhe's original memories, he knew that in this world, there existed an Innate Crystal that contained Spirit Qi. After cultivators consumed it, they would be able to increase their vitality and separate heaven-defying Crystals, able to cleanse their marrow and refine their bones, changing the cultivator's original cultivation and body.

In Chi Xiezhou, the reason why Phoenix Cry Sect was able to become the number one sect was because there was a Spirit Gathering Lake in the main bloodline of Phoenix Cry Mountain, which could produce a hundred crystals per year. In order to prevent the other powers from envious of him, Phoenix Cry Sect would always give half to the other two sects and four great clans.

The original crystal's color was divided into red, orange, yellow, green, cyan, blue, purple. Red crystals were the most precious. Although the purple crystal was a bit inferior, it was still rare.

The blue ore crystal in Leng Qiuping's hand right now should be the best finished product in Phoenix Cry Mountain's Spirit Gathering Lake. Leng Qiuping held the blue crystal core, and the expression on his face was unperturbed. Smiling, he said to Zhao Mingzhe:

"This Innate Crystal is very rare. Not only can it expand a cultivator's Martial Veins, it can also suppress their Origin Energy fluctuations and reduce the possibility of their cultivation going berserk. However, this crystal had a drawback. If a cultivator below the Bone Forging stage consumed it, their body's vitality would be restricted and they wouldn't be able to display their full strength. Of course, the effects were negligible. Moreover, once a cultivator reached the Bone Forging stage, they would be able to break through the obstruction of this crystal. "Speaking of which, I just scared you, this crystal, I'll give it to you as compensation."

Zhao Mingzhe was pleasantly surprised. This raw crystal was definitely something that Zhao Mingzhe needed the most right now. Because of the existence of the lock chain, once Zhao Mingzhe used all his strength, the power in his body would uncontrollably dissipate.

If one were to eat this crystal, before reaching Bone Forging, Zhao Mingzhe would lose a portion of his limitations. Furthermore, he would also be able to conceal the secrets of the lock chain!

Zhao Mingzhe hurriedly thanked his as he reached out to receive the crystal, afraid that Leng Qiuping would go back on his words. However, when Zhao Mingzhe picked up the crystal core, he flipped his wrist gently, and the white jade ring on Zhao Mingzhe's pinky was immediately snatched away.

The expression on Zhao Mingzhe's face did not change, and he thought to himself, Could it be that Leng Qiuping saw that this was a spatial ring and wanted to use the raw crystal to exchange for it with me?

Leng Qiuping looked at the jade ring in his hand and said:

"This jade ring is a bit too ostentatious." Although the workmanship was exquisite, not everyone was able to discover the secret of the jade ring. You should still wear it on your body. That way, it won't affect your usage. "

With that said, Leng Qiuping handed the jade ring back to Zhao Mingzhe. After reaching out to take it, Zhao Mingzhe felt that he had thought too much into it. Leng Qiuping could indeed tell that it was a spatial ring, but he did not have any intentions of taking it.

Leng Qiuping reached out and caressed the beast Xiao Meng, then turned and walked out of the bamboo forest. When Leng Qiuping disappeared from the bamboo forest, Zhao Mingzhe frowned and thought to himself that the sect master actually came to see him personally, and even gave him an extremely precious raw crystal.

At the canyon where the ground had caved in, Leng Qiuping and Elder Dong, who was guarding the array, stood facing each other. Elder Dong had some doubt on his face as he asked:

"Although Zhao Mingzhe used to be a service disciple, why didn't he know that you were Phoenix Cry Sect's Sect Master?"

Leng Qiuping laughed and shook his head.

"Elder Dong, you are still underestimating Zhao Mingzhe. Even though he has never seen me before, after hearing my name, he already knew that I was the sect head. However, because he subconsciously cursed me, he pretended to be like that. Speaking of which, Zhao Mingzhe's mind and intelligence couldn't be compared to ordinary people. "After thinking for a long time, I realized that the best way to deal with the situation was simply to pretend not to know anything about it."

A light flashed in Elder Dong's eyes as he nodded his head.

"So that's how it is. Come to think of it, since you want to help Zhao Mingzhe, why don't you care about what Zhou Changqing has done to him? "

Leng Qiuping shook his head and sighed.

"Although Chi Xiezhou looks calm and tranquil, he has actually long been a weirdo. It might be a good thing instead of showing too close to Zhao Mingzhe within the sect. Also, I can't remove the lock chain on his body, so he can only rely on himself. Finding that raw crystal and helping him hide the lock chain is my limit. I can help him. "Everything still depends on his good fortune …"

In the bamboo forest, Zhao Mingzhe held a piece of bamboo leaf in his mouth. After thinking for a long time, he decided to eat the raw crystal. No matter what, as the Sect Leader of the Phoenix Cry Sect, Leng Qiuping didn't need to use schemes and plots to harm him.

However, what Zhao Mingzhe could not understand was that since Leng Qiuping had bestowed him with the Innate Crystal, why didn't he help him find a place to stay, and instead allowed him to stay in the bamboo forest?

After thinking for a while, and not thinking too much, Zhao Mingzhe decided to eat the raw crystal first. Not long later, Zhao Mingzhe felt a warm feeling rising from his abdomen, which was completely absorbed by the whirlpool formed by his Dantian.

The vitality in his body had increased a little, but there was no break through. Zhao Mingzhe tried to raise his body's strength to its peak, and as expected, the lock chain did not come out again to cause trouble!

The somewhat happy Zhao Mingzhe, had once again thrown himself into a frenzied cultivation, and, other than a normal time of rest, Zhao Mingzhe had basically gone through a series of turns.

After finishing his practice of palm techniques, Zhao Mingzhe used the pale blue spear that Ouyang Yao had left behind to practice the Hundred Birds facing Phoenix Spear Art.

Faintly, Zhao Mingzhe was already capable of thrusting out three spear flowers. Although he was still far from forming the illusion of a phoenix, he was still able to improve.

That night, Zhao Mingzhe was lying on the bamboo bed, looking at the sky full of stars, and on his shoulder, Xiao Meng who was constantly rubbing against his shoulder, suddenly raised her head and let out a "ji" sound, and then immediately crawled onto a bamboo tree to hide.

This was the side effect Leng Qiuping left behind when he came that time. The moment he sensed that someone had come, Xiao Meng would immediately hide. Zhao Mingzhe frowned, he was secretly on alert, but not long later, he heard a woman's voice:

"Is he really here?"

"How could I lie to you? Just follow me."

Zhao Mingzhe was shocked. The two voices, were clearly Wu Xiaowu and Liu Xu! Could it be that the two of them could no longer hold it in and were finally going to make a move on him?

Thinking about this, Zhao Mingzhe gripped his sword tightly, and prepared to strike first at any time, as he coldly looked in the direction of the bamboo forest's entrance …
