The system is the proficiency panel

"Daozi, this is Zhuang Yan."

Yin Chun introduced the man behind him to Lin Ji. The man looked a little nervous and scared. Lin Ji could feel that Zhuang Yan was just an ordinary foundation-building cultivator without any artistic conception. As a person with an artistic conception foundation-building cultivator, Yin Chun could probably kill him with just a few moves. No wonder this was the case.

Zhuang Yan looked at Yin Chun who was standing aside without sitting down, and thought that if he didn't dare to sit down, then I wouldn't dare either. Seeing that Zhuang Yan had no intention of sitting down, Lin Ji opened his mouth and asked.

"Is the Qingling grass in the jade box in your hand?

"Daozi, please look. I got this in a small secret realm. I originally wanted to use it for my child, but something went wrong. Zhou Ling was so cruel, and I was so pitiful..."

Hearing Lin Ji's question, Zhuang Yan stepped forward and opened the jade box, letting Lin Ji check its authenticity. Then he showed a sad and angry expression and began to cry about Zhou Ling's cruel methods.

"Stop talking, I don't want to hear this. Now that I'm here, I'll help you defeat that Zhou Ling. Please make arrangements as soon as possible. I'm in a hurry."

Lin Ji interrupted Zhuang Yan who was about to continue crying. He was also very tactful and immediately put away his sad expression and spoke.

"Tomorrow, there will be an arena in the center of the city. There will be not only independent cultivators but also cultivators from other families going there to compete. Zhou Ling goes there often, so it will be easy for him to fight him. When the time comes, I want my son to see Zhou Ling's miserable defeat with his own eyes."

Hearing Zhuang Yan's murderous words, Xiao Ningxue asked with some confusion.

"The Qingling grass is still very precious. Although your son is seriously injured, his body is not damaged. According to the physique of us cultivators, it has been a month. He should have recovered by taking some pills! Why do you want me to use the Qingling grass as a price to make my brother take action?"

"Because my son Zhuang Hong has developed an inner demon, Zhou Ling did not cause him any fatal injuries at the time, but she left him with a mentality that Zhou Ling was unfathomable and impossible to defeat. As a result, Zhuang Hong now trembles unconsciously whenever he hears or thinks of Zhou Ling."

"Even though we lost, it shouldn't be like this, right?"

Xiao Ningxue found it incredible and asked.

"There are two reasons. First, I have spoiled Zhuang Hong since he was a child. He has rarely failed and his mentality is not mature. Second, during the battle, every time he attacked, he missed Zhou Ling. Then Zhou Ling found an opportunity to use her flying sword to leave a scar on him. This made him think that he was unlucky and refused to give up until he collapsed with wounds all over his body. Finally, Zhou Ling showed all his strength and said: You are too weak. This is not even a warm-up for me."

After knowing the whole story, Xiao Ningxue stopped talking. Seeing this, Lin Ji said to Zhuang Yan.

"You can go back now. Just come find me here on time tomorrow. As for the Qingling Grass, you can choose to take it back or give it to me directly."

"I believe in Daozi's character, so I'll give this Qingling grass to Daozi first."

Zhuang Yan was very tactful. He closed the jade box and pushed it in front of Lin Ji, then said goodbye and left with Yin Chun.

Seeing the door closed, Xiao Ningxue asked curiously.

"Brother, why is there no Qingling grass in Xuantian Sect?"

"The Qingling grass itself can only be produced in the secret realm. There was indeed one plant left in the sect a few months ago, but it was already used by a foundation-building cultivator. We can't supply it in a short period of time, so we can only look for it outside."

"Brother, then you can start practicing with the Qingling Grass. Your Wood Power is only a little short of perfection, right? I can help you protect the Dharma from the side."

"it is good."

Lin Ji sat cross-legged on the bed, took out the Qing Ling grass from the jade box and checked it. After confirming that it was fine, he took it directly. In fact, the Qing Ling grass is best made into a pill for consumption. Direct use will waste some medicinal power. However, Lin Ji didn't care about these. He just needed the Qing Ling grass to provide an opportunity for a breakthrough. The loss of some medicinal power was no big deal.

Rich wood spiritual energy burst out from Lin Ji's body. Most of it was absorbed by him, and a small part leaked out of his body. The surrounding wooden furniture actually began to show slight signs of recovery.

Lin Ji's practice lasted from the afternoon until night. Xiao Ningxue, who said she wanted to protect the law, couldn't sit still and started practicing herself.

After completely refining the wood spiritual energy in his body, Lin Ji looked at the green bead that appeared on his Qi Sea, representing the wood energy and growth. With its appearance, Lin Ji could clearly feel that his body was getting stronger, and his body also had a rich breath of life.

'system'

[You have refined the Qingling Grass, and your Wood Force has been improved. Changchun Gong +1]

Lin Ji:

Skills: Sword Skills (Control: 50/100) Changchun Skills (Comprehension and Growth)

Power: Sword (sharpness, sword energy), Spacetime (spacetime domain), Wood (growth)

Lin Ji opened his eyes and nodded with satisfaction, then he found that Xiao Ningxue was not helping him protect the law, but was practicing beside him.

As if sensing Lin Ji's gaze, Xiao Ningxue immediately opened her eyes, then she defended herself with a slightly red face for breaking her promise.

"Brother... I didn't expect you to practice for so long, so I set up a defensive formation and practiced on my own..."

Lin Ji had no intention of blaming Xiao Ningxue, but seeing her slightly red cheeks and her voice that sounded weak because of her mistake made him want to bully her. Lin Ji couldn't help it, so he hugged Xiao Ningxue and kissed her on the lips.

After a long time, their lips parted, and Lin Ji looked at Xiao Ningxue's slightly swollen lips and smiled.

"I'll let you go this time, let's go for a walk together!"

Xiao Ningxue snorted, got out of bed and tidied her messy clothes. After she was done, Lin Ji walked up to her, took her hand and went out together. Yin Chun, who was next door, felt Lin Ji leaving and secretly followed behind to protect her.

It suddenly started to drizzle, so the streets were not busy. Lin Ji and Xiao Ningxue could only use their spiritual power to block the rain as they strolled in the rain.

After walking around half of the town, the two were ready to go back. At this time, someone began to approach. Lin Ji felt that it was just a cultivator at the fourth level of Qi training, so she didn't take it seriously and continued to walk back with Xiao Ningxue. Unexpectedly, the man quickened his pace and blocked the way of the two. She looked at Xiao Ningxue's face carefully and said.

"Are you Xiao Ningxue? Didn't you go to Xuantian Sect? Why are you here?"

The woman was quite pretty and seemed to know Xiao Ningxue. She asked a few questions right away, which sounded a bit aggressive. Xiao Ningxue looked at her carefully, shook her head and said.

"I'm Xiao Ningxue. I guess I haven't seen you before. Who are you?"

"I'm Xiao Ling. You were the one who took my place and went to Xuantian Sect, so I had to come to Qingyun Sect. Why am I here now? Was it because you were kicked out because of your poor talent?"

Lin Ji looked at Xiao Ling, who was coming with ill intentions, and asked Xiao Ningxue.

"Were you from the Xiao family before?"

"Well, although her temperament and makeup have changed a lot, this tone should be hers. When Xuantian Sect was recruiting people, I happened to be the one who passed in front of me, and she was eliminated after me. I guess she holds a grudge against me. This is her personality. Don't pay attention to her. Let's go."
