"Elder, what's going on?" Shi Ning asked worriedly.

Elder Huang touched his beard and said, "Nothing's wrong. It's just that the Taoist heart is not strong. I was confused by the illusion. Just sleep for a while."

Gu Chong was the first among the disciples to wake up. He recalled what happened in the square formation. Scene, seduced by the soul, step by step into the illusion, and immediately realized that he was bewitched by the soul. But he didn't expect that Shi Ning, as a disciple of the Qi Refining Layer, would be so determined. He was not deceived.

"Junior sister, haven't you met a soul?"

Shi Ning nodded, "Yes, he said his name is Ji Su."

Elder Huang smiled and said, "I didn't expect you to meet Ji Su. He is the best among these souls." It's rare that you haven't been seduced by him."

Gu Chong also felt ashamed. "Although junior sister is only at the first level of Qi refining, her mental strength is stronger than mine and she is not bewitched by charm. I’m confused, but I’m actually impressed.”

Shi Ning:?

"What's going on?" This made me admire him.

Gu Chong explained: "Didn't Ji Su tell you that any wish you have can come true?"

"Yes."

"Then what was your reaction?"

"I asked him to help me handle the fish." Shi Ning He answered honestly.

Elder Huang laughed loudly after hearing this. "I'm afraid this is the first time Ji Su has encountered such a situation."

Gu Chong also praised again: "Junior sister is really wise and stupid. I was blind before."

Shi Ning was confused again, how could he become so wise after eating a fish?

As the disciples gradually woke up, Shi Ning also understood the whole process.

It turns out that every disciple who enters the phalanx will meet a soul. According to previous experience, the soul will help the disciple solve any problems encountered in the phalanx.

However, this experience in the square array was uncharacteristically different. The spirits were not here to help the disciples, but to bewitch them.

They will use charm to dig out the strongest desires deep in their disciples' hearts, and lure them step by step into illusions and traps.

Shi Ning nodded as if he understood, "Then why didn't I fall under the spell?"

If the spell was used, Shi Ning would definitely not be able to resist, and maybe the soul would help them farm.

Elder Huang looked at Shi Ning with relief, "For those with a firm Taoist heart, no charm will work."

Shi Ning hugged Shan Nai and fell into thought.

Lu Zifan fell into the deepest illusion and was the last one among the disciples to wake up. Even after waking up, he said excitedly: "I have made a breakthrough, I have made a breakthrough in cultivation. I have already reached the third level of foundation building."

The disciples stopped talking. , reminded: "Brother, it's all fantasy."

Lu Zifan didn't believe it, but still said firmly: "I really broke through, if you don't believe it, just look at it."

After saying that, he wanted to mobilize his spiritual energy to prove it to everyone, but he could no longer detect it in his body. A trace of aura, as if he had never practiced.

Lu Zifan's face turned pale and he murmured: "How could this happen? How could this happen? I clearly broke through in the square formation."

Elder Huang didn't want to look at Lu Zifan's crazy look anymore. A spring of spiritual energy gathered at his fingertips, flowing from top to bottom. After pouring water all over Lu Zifan, "Are you awake now?"

Lu Zifan walked unsteadily, wiped his face, and finally regained consciousness. He lowered his head and shouted: "Elder."

Elder Huang frowned and said: "You have too much desire, and the charm has penetrated too much. Deep, so I have no spiritual power for the time being. Take a good rest and your cultivation will come back in a few days."

"Your Taoist heart is so weak, and the road to immortality is long. If you are not careful, you will go astray. Please think carefully about these days. Think about it, what is the way to cultivate immortality? " " Fortunately, I told you before entering the square, don't think about taking advantage of others, and you must be down-to- earth

and step by step. "

"Did you listen to my words?"

Knowing that this experience failed, he was very embarrassed, so he only dared to respond: "The disciples must obey the orders of the elders."

Elder Huang was a little dissatisfied, "Of the ninety-eight disciples, only one was not deceived by the charm. You are left Please reflect carefully."

"Cultivation is not only about practicing magic, but also about cultivating your mind. You all have deep desires and cannot resist temptation, especially you, Lu Zifan."

Elder Huang was obviously very dissatisfied with this competition. He has always been kind and cheerful, but now he is angry for the first time in decades.

No one dared to raise their heads, for fear of getting rid of bad luck.

"Shi Ning is the one with the lowest cultivation level among you. None of you have been charmed by the soul. As for you, all of you are building foundations. As a senior brother and senior sister, I am ashamed for you." Elder Huang really didn't expect that there would be such a thing. So many disciples couldn't stand the charm, and their beards were shaking with anger.

Lu Zifan had been bowing his head to listen to the training, until he heard Elder Huang say that Shi Ning was the only one who passed the training this time, and looked over in disbelief. His face became even paler, and he couldn't help feeling regretful.

"Take it, take one pill a day, and come to me every three days to regulate your breath, internal energy, and repair your spiritual roots." Only when talking to Shi Ning, Elder Huang's expression softened slightly.

A green porcelain bottle fell into Shi Ning's palm, "This is it?"

"Marrow Repair Pill." Elder Huang said calmly.

A priceless marrow-building pill? It can be said that there is a price but no market. So you just gave a bottle to Shi Ning?

The disciples who lowered their heads looked at Shi Ning with envy. No matter how many disciples begged for one, they couldn't get one. At this time, Shi Ning took a bottle directly.

Just when Shi Ning was about to decline, Gu Chong winked at Shi Ning and asked her to accept.

Shi Ning had no choice but to say: "Thank you, elder."

Elder Huang: "You deserve this." Seeing that Shi Ning did not have a bottle of priceless marrow repair pill, he was ecstatic, but took it calmly. Elder Huang felt even more gratified. This disciple will achieve great things in the future. He will not be happy with things, not sad with himself, and will be a good seedling.

A weak Taoist heart can be said to be a stumbling block on the road to immortality. If you are not careful, you will give birth to inner demons and do irreparable things.

Looking at the disciples in front of him who had not passed the illusion, Elder Huang cursed a few more times. He felt that they were an eyesore and waved them away.

Seeing that the disciples were about to leave and no one mentioned the bet, Lu Zifan thought that he would just fool them. But Shi Ning didn't mention it, and the elders didn't mention it, but there was still one person who firmly remembered the bet.

"Wait a minute, elder, is it true that this time, only junior sister Shi Ning has passed the training?"

Elder Huang glanced at Gu Chong and said angrily: "Otherwise, you also passed?"

Gu Chong said quickly: "Of course I failed, so there is one person who also failed."

"Isn't that right, Junior Brother Lu?" Gu Chong said with a raised eyebrow.

"I wonder if you still remember the bet you made with your junior sister before the training."

Of course Lu Zifan remembered it, and he wished he had forgotten it.

On the other hand, Shi Ning sighed silently. If he had known that he would have listened to Ji Su's words, he would do whatever he said. In this way, she will definitely lose. As long as she wakes up later than Lu Zifan, she will not need to participate in lectures and training in the future.

Lu Zifan paused, "Of course I remember."

Gu Chong said with a smile, "Just remember, then don't go to any training or lectures in the future."

Lu Zifan smiled and said: "You don't need to remind me, I will remember it."

"Congratulations to junior sister for passing the training." Lu Zifan said through gritted teeth, wishing he could bite Shi Ning to death in one bite.

Shi Ning: "Actually, senior brother, you don't have to take it seriously. You will still go to practice and lecture in the future."

When Shi Ning increased the bet, he never thought that Lu Zifan would lose.

Lu Zifan snorted coldly, "As a gentleman says, a horse is hard to beat. Since I lost, I should accept the bet." Lu Zifan often did it to save face and suffer. Saving face is more important to him than anything else, and now he has lost face once he lost the competition. There was no way he would go back on his bet, pretend to be cool, and leave without looking back.

Shi Ning looked at Lu Zifan's leaving figure: Okay. as long as you are happy.

Seeing Lu Zifan deflated, Gu Chong was happy and said with a smile: "Thanks to my junior sister today, I can see Lu Zifan in such a miserable state."

Shi Ning: I didn't expect this either.

"Senior brother, did you have something to say to me just now?" Shi Ning mentioned the wink between Gu Chong and himself just now.

"Junior sister, what happened to you just now? The elder rewarded you with the marrow cultivation pill that you have passed through experience, but you still don't want it?"

Shi Ning explained: "Actually, I..."

"You don't need to explain, in short, remember that the elder will have You should keep the reward, otherwise you will slap the elder in the face. There is no reward that cannot be given out at Chengtianmen."

Listening to Gu Chong's patient instructions, Shi Ning nodded silently.

At this moment, Gu Chong looked at Shi Ning with a bit of appreciation in his eyes, "As a senior brother, I really admire my junior sister for being able to remain calm in the face of Ji Su."

Seeing that Gu Chong's misunderstanding of him is getting deeper and deeper . Shi Ning quickly explained: "Brother, you misunderstood. Maybe it's because I have the amulet given by Elder Feiyun that I didn't fall into the illusion."

After hearing this, Gu Chong denied: "It's not the amulet, the amulet It can only help you resist some physical attacks, but it can't stop you from being hit by illusions."

"Only junior sister's determination can break the situation."

"My fellow disciples and I all want to take advantage of our weakness to successfully confuse us. "

As long as we are greedy for this, we will naturally fall into the trap of the soul." "On the other hand

, Junior Sister is not eager to make progress and is open-minded. Naturally, the soul has nothing to do."

I thought it was because of the amulet, but now I didn't expect it to be the reason.

"I just made a mistake and passed by luck."

Gu Chong didn't believe it. "Of so many disciples, only junior sister has passed the training, which shows that junior sister has wisdom."

Gu Chong seemed to have determined that Shi Ning was a Taoist with a firm heart. As a junior sister who practices seriously, no matter how Shi Ning explains it, it will be useless.

Shi Ning simply gave up, and Gu Chong reminded: "But Lu Zifan will definitely not let it go like this. He is petty-minded and saves face. You should be careful in everything."

"I will. Thank you for reminding me, senior brother." Ning thanked.

After returning to the yard, Shi Ning prepared a large tank and placed the small whitebait caught in the square array today in the tank. It could not be used for farming, but it was also good to raise fish.

After nightfall, Shi Ning lay on the bed, savoring the sweet taste of the marrow repair pill. My whole body feels fuller and full of strength. At this time, Shan Zhi jumped onto the bed with a pink camellia hanging in his mouth.

"Where did you get it from?"

"I'm not afraid of being caught."

Shi Ning nodded Shan Zhi's nose and said.

Shan Zhi often picks things up and gives them to Shi Ning as gifts. There are all kinds of things, from a flower to a tree branch. They were all gifts from Shan Nai to Shi Ning.

"Here." Shan Nai placed the flower in Shi Ning's hand.

Although Shan Nai still only knows one word after another, he has learned several words.

"Thank you, thank you, Shan, Nai." Shi Ning spoke very slowly, word by word, mainly to teach Shan Nai how to speak.

Shan Nai replied: "No" before saying the "no" thank you. He suddenly stood up and ran out very quickly.

Shi Ning knew at a glance that he was going to bury the shit in the yard.

Shan Nai dug the soil vigorously, and Shi Ning heard the noise coming from outside the door and shouted: "Shan Nai, have you buried it?"

"After you've buried it, come in and sleep."

Shan Nai dug a hole neatly and smoothly. The ground was settled, and then ran back to the house.

Just as one person and one cat chatted for a while, and fell asleep holding each other in their arms, they suddenly heard a voice shouting loudly.

"There's a thief!"
