Practice begins with a fisherman

"I didn't expect that this year, a shop selling spirit pills would appear in such a hidden corner. Fortunately, I didn't give up when I finally found you." The long-awaited panacea.

Inside the tent was not as lively as imagined, on the contrary, it was very quiet. Every monk was looking for his goal in the dazzling panacea, and he bargained quietly with some black-clothed monks who were in charge of the transaction, and finished quickly after reaching their respective prices. Deal away.

"First-rank low-grade Qixing Powder, Jiedu Pill, Clearing Barrier Spirit, and Spirit Beast Pill; first-grade middle-grade Xingqi Pill, Bigu Pill, and Ziluo Pill; first-grade top-grade Ningqi Pill, Baishen Pill, and Yangqi Pill. Sha Wo Ye" Looking at the bottles of pills with different effects on the shelves, Zhao Shoushou, who has been living in poverty and careful planning, almost drooled.

Because most of the people who came to participate in the cormorant lake meeting were low-level casual cultivators, and the largest number were first-level low-grade panacea, especially the Qi Xing San, which can effectively improve the cultivation base, is the most important thing. Zhao Shoushou, the first target of a monk who stepped into the tent, was no exception.

The first-level low-grade detoxification pills, as the name suggests, are mainly effective against some not-so-violent poisons, and are cheap and must-haves for going out; Areas are often accompanied by miasma, and miasma-clearing spirits are also commonly used; the first-level low-grade spirit beast pills can be used to feed spirit beasts, and promote the growth and development of spirit beasts. However, this is completely different from the spirit beast pills Zhao Shoushou bought. Yes, it can even be said to be a world of difference.

"The price of first-tier low-grade spirit stones is three low-grade spirit stones. If you buy more than ten pieces, you can get one free. The price in this store is transparent and no bargaining is accepted." The boy in charge of selling the pills explained indifferently. Obviously, he didn't have much affection for these casual cultivators who were shy, lacked background, and penny-pinching.

"I don't know if my little brother might be a little cheaper? It's not easy for casual cultivators to earn spirit stones, how about taking care of one or two?" Zhao Shoushou asked in a low voice. In the situation where the supply of elixir is in short supply, it is God's point of view that no customers are at all. Those responsible for selling elixir The proud monks' noses almost went up to the sky.

"Our Cherry Blossom Alchemy Shop has always been non-price-conscious. Every elixir is invested by a skilled alchemist. The erysipelas content is less than 5.00%. What we sell is not only the panacea but also the reputation of the Cherry Blossom Alchemy Shop. How can the wandering alchemists in this world be compared with the Cherry Blossom Alchemy Shop? It's ridiculous." A man with an indifferent expression and a stern tone said proudly.

In order to ensure the quality of the alchemy pills, the three sects and the five major families in the cultivation world jointly organized an organization called "Alchemy League". Those who are called wandering alchemists, although the alchemy they refine are effective, they are slightly inferior in efficacy.

Of course, Danmeng has very high requirements for alchemists. The same level of elixir can be randomly selected to refine three furnaces. The average alchemy rate is more than [-]%, and the erysipelas content is less than [-]%. Alchemists with a complete inheritance can pass. After all, some casual cultivators who become alchemists by chance may only know one or two alchemy formulas.

The Cherry Blossom Alchemy Shop was born 50 years ago. From the lowest-level temporary trade fairs to the major squares and cities, half of the country was abruptly grabbed through the Danmeng certification. At least tens of thousands of fast-moving low-grade spirit stones were collected every year. It develops very quickly and becomes a powerful force.

"Buy four first-tier low-grade qi powder, I wonder if I can give three first-tier low-grade Jingshen incense as a gift? This is the tradition of the cherry blossom alchemy shop." Eyes turned to think, if you can get three Jingshen incense, you can also save money The next low-grade spirit stone is also good, no matter what, the deal reached with Hu Bo must be completed.

"Four first-level low-grade Qi Xing 12 yuan low-grade spirit stones, and three first-level low-grade god-respecting incense as a gift." The man on the second floor of Qi training reluctantly chose to trade. The Lord who broke the stone into three pieces.

If you meet some wealthy monks in the shops in Fangshi, you will not pay attention to these gifts at all. Over time, they will become their gray income, and you can get at least seven or eight low-grade spirit stones every year. Therefore, when Zhao Shoushou had the cheek to ask for them, Xiao Er, who had a stern face, was even more unhappy.

Carefully in the deepest part of the interlayer of the clothes, took out an ordinary small cloth bag and clicked out 12 yuan low-grade spirit stones, and after inspecting the first-order low-grade spirit stones one by one, I just took out the three first-level spirit stones under the watchful eyes of the cold-faced Xiao Er. The lower-grade god-respecting incense is collected in a specially made jade bottle.

"There are still three low-grade spirit stones left. I wonder if I can buy a book of water-attribute spells or a brief introduction to spirit materials and spirit herbs in the casual repair stall area, so as not to be blind and miss the right treasure in the future." Qi training [-] The hopeful Zhao Shoushou muttered to himself, talking about the two inheritances he had always been obsessed with.

Chapter 7 Incomplete first-order spell jade slip

Whether it's the Water Attribute Spell Encyclopedia or the Encyclopedia of Spiritual Materials and Spiritual Herbs, all of them are entry-level things. In some sects or families, they are within the scope of learning from childhood and teaching them for free. For casual cultivators of the road, it is precious knowledge, and it takes a lot of nervous stones to buy and study carefully before you can understand some superficial knowledge.

Zhao Shoushou's only three low-grade spirit stones are not enough to buy any of them. If each item is priced at more than five low-grade spirit stones in a normal store, but for some loose spirit stones with slightly higher cultivation Xiu said that he didn't mind selling these lost inheritance jade slips at a low price.

In fact, what he values ​​more is the complete set of water attribute spells. After all, the first-level low-grade spells recorded in "Ripple Kung Fu" are only water treading and water archery. If he can't learn other spells, it means that he has and There are only two most basic Dharma-protecting magical powers.

For a casual cultivator with extremely difficult living conditions, picking elixir, slaying monsters, and fighting skills are all necessary experiences in the future. It will always be ranked first, and if he has the chance, his first choice must be the Water Attribute Spell Encyclopedia.

Zhao Shoushou's most yearning is naturally the long-awaited defensive spell. Among the first-level low-grade water attribute spells, there is one and only "water wall spell", which can control the surrounding water flow to form a wall to resist the enemy's attack. A spell that one must learn first after being promoted to the second level of Qi training.

"Fellow daoists, stop, watch for free, free of charge, the treasure of the ancient secret storehouse, a piece of spiritual stone can be chosen at will"

"First-order low-grade spirit grass seedlings and seeds, and one low-grade spirit stone with twenty pieces, as long as they are cultivated for a hundred years, they can be sold at a hundred times the profit, and they will be sold at a high price without any compensation."

"You can't lose money if you buy a low-grade spirit stone, and you can't be fooled when you buy a low-grade spirit stone. They all come from the spirit mine that is being excavated. If you buy a huge stone with a low-grade spirit stone, you can earn money if you buy it on the spot."

With the passage of time, the cormorant lake meeting once every three months has become more and more prosperous. All kinds of peddlers are eye-opening, gambling stones, selling spirit grass seeds, and ancient secret treasures picked up from nowhere. Some of them are liars, who specially bully some Xiaobai to start with. The first time they entered the Cormorant Lake Xiaohui by chance, they were tricked by these vendors to take away the only low-grade spirit stone they finally got.

As a monk who has successfully passed the junior white stage and a qualified local aborigine, Zhao Shoushou doesn't care about these lively hawking noises, and has a kind of chicness that leaves a leaf among thousands of flowers without touching his body. His goal is another corner There are several stalls dedicated to selling various jade slips.

"Tu Yuan Jue", "Rui Jin Jue", "Fire Jue", "Ripple Kung Fu", and "Wood Tree Congregation Method" are the most widely spread five-element attribute entry-level exercises in the cultivation world. What he practiced The water attribute "Ripple Kungfu" is among them. Each book sells for eight low-grade spirit stones, and each book contains corresponding spells, which are much higher than the one Zhao Shoushou is currently practicing.

"Introduction to First-Order Spiritual Materials", "First-Order Spiritual Grass Encyclopedia", "Tangfang City Distribution Map", "First-order Five Elements Spell Encyclopedia", "Introduction to Ten Families of Five Schools", "The Cultivator Who Can't Be Provoked" ", "Ten Demons in the Realm of Cultivation" The small booths are full of jade slips, and there is a note for introduction next to each jade slip.

This fully demonstrates the truth that knowledge is wealth. In casual cultivation, except for some lucky ones who have masters, most of them are Zhao Shoushou who have worked hard from scratch. Any knowledge and experience and lessons need to be paid. Not cheap.

"The Five Elements Spell Encyclopedia requires 20 yuan of low-grade spirit stones, and the lowest price of the water attribute spell encyclopedia is seven low-grade spirit stones. Cormorant Lake is located inland, and various resources and mineral resources are scarce. The Encyclopedia of Tier Spirit Grasses is more suitable for the Ziyu Mountain Range." Zhao Shoushou thought for a while and couldn't make up his mind.

Ziyu Mountain is a majestic mountain range in the eastern part of Xianzhou. It is about three days away from Lumoran County. There are a lot of first-level mid-low-grade spirit grass and first-level mid-low-grade monsters growing in it. The danger is not high. If you are lucky, the return is not low. It is the first choice for many casual practitioners during the Qi training period, and he will definitely go to explore it after he is promoted to the second level of Qi training.

"Walk around and take a look. A jade slip only sells two pieces of low-grade spirit stones. Don't miss it when you pass by." He was instantly attracted, if it wasn't for the fact that he had only three low-grade spirit stones left in his pocket, how could he be willing to give up the spell encyclopedia.

"Why is this fellow daoist's spell encyclopedia so cheap? Could it be stolen goods from an unknown source?"

"Two low-grade spirit stones, but I lost my pants. Even a very worn-out jade slip needs at least five low-grade spirit stones. You little guy is fooling the big guy, right?"

Zhao Shoushou was naturally not the only one who wanted to pick up a bargain, and soon the casual cultivators on the inner and outer floors surrounded the stall owners, and some impatient guys asked bluntly, you get what you pay for. There must be fraud in the cheapness, as a qualified casual cultivator who is more difficult to dig out spirit stones than to earn spirit stones, he will definitely get to the bottom of it to find out the reason.

"The Five Elements Spell Encyclopedia was handed down by the master. The reason why the price is cheap is because some of the content disappeared due to an accident a few years ago. Now there are only five first-level low-level spells and two first-level mid-level spells. If you want to buy Fellow daoists can come to negotiate," the monk with a green voice and face explained in a low voice.

"The complete first-level spell encyclopedia has fifteen kinds of spells in the upper, middle and lower levels. There are only seven entry-level spells and two low-grade spirit stones. It's fair, but it's a pity that it doesn't have any effect on the old man."

"The first-level low-grade spells are just extras, they have little effect and limited power, fellow daoists, let's go away."

Except for a rookie like Zhao Shoushou who has a first level of Qi training and has a lot of money, the remaining seven spells are not very attractive. Soon the bustling crowd has dispersed, and some casual cultivators have the idea of ​​​​purchasing, but they can't help it. Shriveled down to a poor pocket.

"Fellow daoist, you are very polite. I wonder if I can take a look at the brief introduction of the water attribute jade slip?" Zhao Shoushou walked forward with a smile on his face. Wasn't this incomplete spell book specially made for him?

"You can watch the outline, but fellow daoists, please don't try to break through the seal of the jade slip." The young stall owner readily agreed. As for the so-called seal, it was just a basic cover-up method set up with spiritual power.

First-level low-level: Water Wall, Water Archery, Water Treading, Water Curtain, and Water Walking; first-level middle-level: Spring Rain, Water Scroll, and the spells appear in front of you one by one, except for two types that are similar to "Ripples". All the rest except for the repetition of "Gong" are what Zhao Shoushou urgently needs.

Chapter 8 Sideline - The Method of Refining Talisman Paper and Talisman Ink

The first-level low-level water wall technique is Zhao Shoushou's long-awaited and only defensive spell among the water attribute spells; the first-level low-level water curtain technique looks the same, but its main function is to confuse the enemy and buy some time in battle; After mastering the low-level water skills, you can hold your breath for a stick of incense under the river surface. Whether it is underwater treasure hunting or escape, it is a good spell.

The first-level mid-level spring rain technique is a spell used to water spiritual grass and spiritual rice. It can condense a trace of spiritual rain through its own mana. It is a necessary spell for many sects who specialize in cultivating spiritual farmers; The water scroll can manipulate the water flow to change various shapes, and it is a powerful attack spell.

"Someone wants this piece of water-attribute magic spells, please promise two low-grade spirit stones." Zhao Shoushou simply took out two low-grade spirit stones to make a deal. By this time, all the first-level low-quality spirit scattered and the incomplete first-level water-attribute spell books have been bought. Here, the destination of this trip was basically achieved, but he was unwilling to leave immediately.

There is still a first-order low-grade spirit stone left in his arms. Next, Zhao Shoushou will carefully observe each booth to see if he can buy some treasures that are of high quality and low price. The purpose is obviously more difficult, and the low-level casual cultivators here can't wait to sell the spirit stones that have been consumed.

What's more, Zhao Shoushou has been practicing alone near Cormorant Island. Most of the meager common sense about the cultivation world is heard here. With his current knowledge, he doesn't have the strength to pick up the leaks.

"A stack of talisman paper (hundred sheets) costs one low-grade spirit stone, and a can of talisman ink (ten catties) costs one low-grade spirit stone. The stall owner can recycle in unlimited quantities for a long time. You only need to pay one low-grade spirit stone in exchange for refining I don’t know if you have any questions about the production methods and tools.” When he accidentally passed by a booth that was also surrounded by three floors inside and outside, the voice of the voice inside attracted him instantly.

As we all know, talisman seals are an indispensable treasure for every monk to travel outside, and the daily consumption is huge. As one of the four major sideline jobs in the cultivation world, talisman seal masters, as long as the success rate of refining talisman seals is more than [-]% It can realize the great dream of daily progress and fighting gold, and the consumption of talisman paper and talisman ink, which are the basic resources of talisman seals, is even more astonishing.

These basic resources have low technical content, low price, and low income, but they require a large amount of time, strength, and patience. The input and output are completely out of proportion. I don't want to do it, and that's why I appeared at the cormorant lake meeting, which is known as the beggar trade.

"It takes at least one month to refine a stack of blank talisman paper from at least ten large trees over 30 years old and condense the essence of the tree core; the first-order low-grade talisman ink needs to be hunted and is at its peak lethality. Powerful beasts such as ligers, tigers and elephants are condensed by taking the blood of their hearts and adding one-third of a spirit stone, and it is not worthwhile to make ends meet with a low-grade spirit stone."

"The failure rate of more than [-]% in the refining process is to lose money and make money. The purchase price of various sects and families is higher than two low-grade spirit stones. This fellow Taoist should increase the price."

"You fellow daoists are right, but the purchase prices of the major sects are based on the removal of all the transparency below 50.00%. You can judge for yourself how big the difference is. Each unit is a piece of low-grade spirit. Stone is already the highest price that Qian can bear.” Facing the scorching and rising opposition from the crowd, the stall owner seemed to have expected it long ago and was completely unmoved.

As a member of a large team of casual practitioners, he understands the difficulty of earning spiritual stones for casual practitioners in the early stage of Qi training. All he cultivates are the most widely spread entry-level exercises, without powerful spells, and the price is even higher. There is no one in a hundred magic weapon owners, so there must be many first- and second-level qi-training monks who have just stepped into the door of cultivation willing to join.

After all, for most casual cultivators, it is a good deal to pay some time, physical strength, and spiritual power in exchange for one or two low-grade spirit stones. These ants-like guys at the bottom of the cultivation world have nothing but Bodies and labor can be sold cheaply.

"This junior has just condensed his spiritual power and stepped into the threshold of the first level of Qi training. I wonder if he can refine talisman paper and talisman ink? Please advise me, senior." The novice in the world is obviously in the early stages of ignorance.

"Refining talisman paper and talisman ink only needs to inject a small amount of spiritual power during the condensing process, but you need to pay a low-grade spirit stone as a deposit, do you understand?" The stall owner didn't mind explaining, from what he said In it, one can easily see the attachment to a low-grade spirit stone.

"Junior understands that I was lucky enough to get a low-grade spirit stone a few days ago, and I am willing to pay it as a deposit. Please enlighten me, senior." The scholar looked heartbroken, and after some groping, he took out the only low-grade spirit stone.

"You and I are both in the same league, so why be polite? If you don't mind, you can call a certain old money. A tripod, a shovel, and a wooden stick are all special tools for refining talisman paper and talisman ink. One is the precautions during the refining process, and every three months, Qian will open the purchase here." The stall owner surnamed Qian has a completely different face when he starts the business, and he is so good at changing faces.

The cormorant lake small meeting lasted only one day. After the sun set and the sky darkened, the originally lively island became silent again. Loose practitioners from all directions had already left one after another. Zhao Shoushou had also set foot on a small fishing boat to leave, but At the tail of the fishing boat, there is an extra small tripod with a diameter of about [-] centimeters.

The guesses of fellow Taoists are correct. This small cauldron was exchanged for a low-grade spirit stone, which is a tool specially used for refining talisman paper and talisman ink. It turned out that when the stall owner surnamed Qian was about to leave, Zhao Shoushou finally chose Take out the last low-grade spirit stone on your body and exchange it.

However, his purpose is not to trade with the stall owner surnamed Qian in exchange for meager income. Learning to refine talisman paper and talisman ink can be regarded as laying the foundation for future attempts to make talisman seals. The making of talismans and seals can also be self-sufficient, saving a lot of expenses is an excellent plan to kill two birds with one stone and kill two birds with one stone.

"I bought four Xingqi powder, and I went back to practice overnight. Whether the second level of Qi training is successful or not, I will see the real chapter in a few days." All the goals on the cormorant lake meeting were achieved, and the song was twisted and crooked under the excitement The doggerel came out spontaneously, and the sound of howling ghosts and wolves disrupted the tranquility of Cormorant Lake.

He spent all the spiritual stones accumulated over the years, just for an opportunity to improve his cultivation base. Zhao Shoushou is going to give it a go. After three years of dormancy on the lake, he obediently became a fisherman.

Chapter 9

After returning to the simple thatched hut on Cormorant Island, Zhao Shoushou spent three days meditating and practicing to keep himself in a peak state. Go to the place of retreat that has already been selected.

His thatched hut is located in the northwest corner of Cormorant Island, which already belongs to a remote area. Since he embarked on the road of practice, he no longer communicates with the people around him, which makes him even more lonely. If there is nothing necessary, no one will come to disturb him. However, this place is far away from the river, and the spiritual power of the water attribute is obviously lacking. In order to make a complete solution, a retreat place has been selected a long time ago.

What's more, retreating to break through the bottleneck is obviously completely different from ordinary practice. During the whole process, there must be no interference at all. If an accident is interrupted halfway, the previous work will be wasted and start from scratch. , the end is extremely terrifying.

The entrance to the place of retreat he chose was at the bottom of a pool. It was also discovered by accident when he swam in the pool on a whim after the end of his practice a few years ago. A natural cave with a diameter of more than five meters and a height of more than three meters.

This karst cave is just at the confluence of several underground rivers, and the concentration of water spiritual power inside is at least three times higher than that of the outside. On weekdays, he is not willing to practice here at all, and he specially blocked the entrance with a stone to prevent the spiritual power from entering the cave. Leaking, just wait for the critical moment of cultivation breakthrough to practice in seclusion, and now years of hard work and waiting are finally about to bear fruit.

"Plop" After arriving at the destination, as a qualified fisherman, Zhao Shoushou dived into the water with a perfect posture, swam like a nimble fish and went straight to the entrance of the cave. Finally, the heavy stone was removed.

"Spiritual power is abundant, and the hairs on the whole body are as refreshing as eating ginseng fruit. It has lived up to Zhao's accumulation over the years. With the help of such a strong spiritual power, the confidence of breaking through the second level of Qi training has increased a lot. I don't know the real spiritual veins. What is the location?" Sitting cross-legged in the cave, Zhao Shoushou said to himself very satisfied.

As a helpless casual cultivator, what he longs for the most is to have a cave that is located on the spiritual vein and is full of spiritual power. As a monk who has been practicing in the secular world, this is the first It is pathetic to really enjoy the spiritual power equivalent to that of a low-grade spiritual vein once.

However, Zhao Shoushou, who was in the cave, didn't care about compassion. Now he only wanted to break through the bottleneck and advance to the second level of Qi training, so as to embark on the real path of cultivation.

"Be calm, get twice the result with half the effort, be calm and calm, and everything will go well." Excessive emotions and worrying about gains and losses are taboos before cultivation. Zhao Shoushou kept whispering to soothe the mood that could not be calmed down for a long time, and it was not until an hour later that he returned to normal and calmed down again.

"Four first-level low-grade Qixing powders, one first-level low-grade Ningshen incense" Everything is ready, and after everything is prepared, Zhao Shoushou lights the Ningshen incense, takes a first-level low-grade Qixing powder, and then begins Practice with eyes closed and formally set foot on the road to hit the second level of Qi training.

The first-level low-grade Ningshenxiang can allow monks to quickly enter the state of cultivation, with a stable mind, calm mind, and the effect of preventing madness to a certain extent. Selling a low-grade spirit stone at the Cormorant Lake Small Meeting is also very important for him. It is considered a luxury, and it is only willing to use it at the critical moment of hitting the bottleneck.

The first-order low-grade qi scattered in the entrance, and a stream of docile spiritual power scattered into the four meridians and eight meridians. Zhao Shoushou tried his best to run the Great Circle in accordance with the requirements of "Ripple Kungfu", trying to disperse the docile spiritual energy from the meridians. Work hard to refine, and you can clearly feel the growth of mana in the dantian every time you run a big cycle.

The spiritual power contained in each Qi Xing San is more than the one-month painstaking training on weekdays, and the spiritual power contained in the elixir has no attribute, and the refining rate exceeds 90.00%. It is obviously more powerful in the upper cave Strength, the spiritual power in Zhao Shoushou's dantian increased at a speed far exceeding that of usual times. This feeling of rapid improvement in cultivation was really intoxicating, and time had passed unconsciously.

The sun and the moon reincarnate, the stars move, and in the blink of an eye, it has been two months later. With the help of two first-order low-quality energy scattered and the spiritual power accumulated in the cave for several years, the concentration of mana in the misty distribution of Zhao Shoushou's dantian has increased by two No matter how hard you try to refine it, there is no slight increase. It is obvious that you are already at the peak level of real Qi training.

"Cultivation has reached the peak of the first level of Qi training, it's time to launch a charge to a new level of cultivation." Seeing that the penance has no gain, Zhao Shoushou took out the third first-level low-quality qi powder. It takes enough spiritual power to break through the bottleneck. Dan's docile spiritual power is obviously the first choice.

The spiritual power flowing around in the meridians, waiting to be refined, is constantly being carried by the big Zhou Tian to the already swollen dantian. It is obviously not necessary to use the power brought by the mana to continuously wash away the bottleneck that is secretly hindering the progress of cultivation. Not an easy process.

The mana in the dantian was already at the peak of the first level of Qi training. When every new bit of spiritual power was refined into it, the pain was everywhere, like a sharp thorn, reaching the mind and testing every inch of nerves. The mana of the state is surging up and down, and the ups and downs are constant.

It seems that his dantian may be crushed by strong pressure at any time, but this is the normal way to break through the bottleneck. The pressure brought by mana is used to enter a new level. The key to a successful breakthrough lies in the tremendous pressure and pain. Persevere in the test of hard work.

"Painful Zhao, painful painful Zhao, how can the first bottleneck be so difficult? How long will it take to break through? Breaking through" Seeing that the spiritual power of the third Xingqi Powder is about to be exhausted, the body's endurance has also been exhausted. When the limit was reached, Zhao Shoushou, who was unwilling to fail, let out a loud shout, and forcibly manipulated his weak spiritual consciousness to stir up the restless mana in his dantian to launch a final blow to the already crumbling bottleneck.

The huge counter-shock force instantly severely injured the internal organs, and a mouthful of blood that could no longer be suppressed spewed out, but the fog-like mana in the dantian was several times more than that in an instant, and the rest could only occupy one-fifth of the dantian. One, but the power contained in it is quite different.

The original turmoil naturally calmed down quickly, but Zhao Shoushou ignored the injuries on his body, and immediately took the last qi movement powder. After successfully advancing to the second level of qi refining, it does not mean that everything will be fine, and the cultivation realm that has not yet stabilized Once there is any shake, it is possible to waste all previous efforts and fall again, so the most important thing at present is to completely stabilize the cultivation base.

As for physical injuries, without the premise of healing elixir, one can only rely on the nourishment of spiritual power to recover slowly, which requires enough time for cultivation. In fact, the process of stabilizing the realm is also the process of healing injuries.

Chapter 10 Water Archery and Water Wall

The cultivation level of a monk and the physical body are complementary. In the cultivation world, except for some special monks who specialize in the physical body called "body repair", most of them do not think of ways to increase the strength of the physical body. When improving, the body will naturally improve simultaneously through the nourishment of spiritual power. As long as his cultivation base can stabilize, the injuries caused by the bottleneck can naturally heal.

After being promoted to the second level of Qi training, the most obvious change is the increase in the strength of the spiritual consciousness. Before the breakthrough, the weak spiritual consciousness can barely leave the body and circle within a radius of one meter. Now it can be said to be within a radius of ten meters. During the observation, even the slightest movement could not be hidden from him.

At the same time, the eye consciousness, ear consciousness, nose consciousness, tongue consciousness, and body consciousness that are attached to the body have also been greatly improved. The nose consciousness can already distinguish the difference between subtle tastes; The sound of movement; the eye consciousness can detect every move of the birds on the tree through the pond water; the tongue consciousness has not yet been tested, but it can clearly feel that the development of the taste on the tongue is no longer comparable; the most mysterious body consciousness can only be found in the body. You can only experience it in future battles.

Although he has just broken through and has not yet learned magical spells, Zhao Shoushou is already confident enough to double his combat power based on his current promotion. He can easily kill some fierce beasts that were difficult in the past. Find the raw materials for refining talisman paper and talisman ink.

After successfully promoting to the second level of Qi training, whether it is spiritual consciousness or five senses, it only improves with the improvement of cultivation. There are some surprises, but what he most yearns for and never forgets is still the magic spell that belongs to the cultivator and can greatly improve the combat effectiveness , especially after the cormorant lake club bought the incomplete version of "Water Attribute Spell Encyclopedia".

Especially the Water Archery and Water Wall Art, one attack and one defense are well coordinated, and after comprehending the mystery of them, the power of each other will naturally be greatly enhanced. These two spells are also his first goal. He is a real cultivator.

As for the more powerful magical artifacts, Zhao Shoushou is not envious. On the one hand, the current low cultivation base does not have enough mana to refine the magical artifacts; The magic weapon is not something he can bear at all and can only wait for the future.

In the final analysis, the second level of Qi training is only a small level in the early stage of Qi training. Half a month later, after refining the fourth first-level low-grade Qi powder and exhausting the spiritual power accumulated in the cave for several years, his cultivation finally stabilized. It no longer shakes like a rootless duckweed when it comes down, and the injuries on its body are also healed, and most of them no longer affect the basic actions.

"It's been a thousand years in the world for one day in the cave. What Mr. Zhao is facing is just the most inconspicuous bottleneck. The time spent before and after has been more than three months. No wonder some travel notes record that some great supernatural beings often spend more than [-] years in seclusion. A hundred years, tsk tsk tsk" Zhao Shoushou sighed in a good mood, and at the same time became more determined to the heart of the Tao.

A monk in the Qi refining stage is just stepping into the threshold of practice. Apart from some simple spells, his lifespan is basically about a hundred years. Once the foundation is successfully established, the lifespan can reach 200 years. Yuan, as for the Yuanying stage that only appeared in the book, it has reached the thousand-year lifespan, which is very enviable.

However, most monks have been racing against time all their lives. Those who succeed can enter a new stage, and those who lose can only turn into a cup of dust regardless of their previous cultivation level. As a casual cultivator, Zhao Shoushou wants to outrun the monster of time. We can only do our best to fight for the opportunity in the bloody storm.

"It's time to leave too. I hope I can give you a helping hand again in a few years." Zhao Shoushou looked at this hidden cave with great reluctance. If the spiritual power here hadn't been exhausted and needed to re-condense, he would definitely be reluctant to leave. What I want most now is a cave located on the spiritual vein.

It's a pity that almost every spiritual vein in the Tang Dynasty, which is extremely developed and scarce in resources, has been occupied by sects and families of all sizes, and the occasional first-level low-grade spiritual veins will also compete for blood, and the future will be long The famous mountains and rivers of time have nothing to do with him, so he can only struggle hard in the secular world.

"Quak quack quack" just entered the house. Two strong cormorants are already flapping their wings and circling him excitedly, as if they are complaining why they have been ignored for several months, but judging from their fat bodies, it is obvious that this period of time has passed It is very comfortable, without his strong pressure to enjoy delicious fresh fish freely every day.

The two cormorants he owns have been clearly distinguished from ordinary poultry under the nourishment of the spirit beast pill. Under normal circumstances, if the cormorants were free, they would have already escaped, but the big fat and the little fat cormorants are obviously more attached to spirits. The delicacy of the animal pills is why he obediently waited for him to return.

"Love is precious, and the price of freedom is higher. If it is a spirit beast pill, both of them can be thrown away. They are really a pair of foodies. I will reward two spirit beast pills. I will rest tonight and start work tomorrow morning." Zhao Shoushou, dumbfounded, threw two simple Only after taking the spirit beast pill can he get rid of the entanglement.

Zhao Shoushou had no intention of leaving before comprehending the first-level low-level water archery and water wall skills. Salvaging fog stones and fog fish is naturally indispensable as the most basic way of making a living. Of course, between practicing spells and fishing , he will definitely try to refine the new skills talisman paper and talisman ink.

"La la la la, I am a little expert in fishing. The wind comes and goes in the rain, and one day a better life will come. The sun is drying my buttocks, and I will start work." Let go of your nose and nose consciousness a little bit to search for traces of Wushi and Wuyu. As a newly promoted second-level Qi training monk, it is natural to have a good start.

After choosing a suitable location to drive the two cormorants into the water, he did not steer the fishing boat to lead as usual, but stood firmly in the middle of the cormorant lake, motionless, making complicated gestures in his hands, his face flushed as if It's the same as practicing hard, but there is no success.

"Water arrow, water arrow, listen to my call, the spirits in the water will quickly condense, the water arrow will be completed, master, order" Zhao Shoushou chanted a mantra in his mouth, and coordinated with the gesture of flying up and down, and mobilized the spiritual power in his dantian at the same time. It is not easy for the latter to achieve synchronization, so facing the uncomplicated water archery always ends in failure.

"Cormorant lake water, protect me well, listen to my orders, and the water wall rises." Compared with the water archery that has repeatedly failed, the more complicated water wall technique is easier. The spiritual power flows upstream along the meridians, and a pocket-sized water wall about one meter high and half a meter long appears in front of the small fishing boat, but it is obviously only at the initial stage and does not have too strong defensive power.

He was about to strike while the iron was hot and after some in-depth research, two wet figures were struggling to climb towards the fishing boat. It was the two cormorants who had completed their first catch.

Chapter 11 Zhao Shoushou vs. Carp Essence ([-])

"Fishing four fog stones at once, fortunately, the improvement of the five senses is really effective for people. Even if you are a fisherman, your life will be much easier in the future. It should be exchanged for two first-order low-quality qi powder every month. There is no problem." It was a good start, and under the stimulation of Wushi, Zhao Shoushou instantly left behind the annoyance and depression of failing to practice water archery many times.
