In order to improve her strength safely and secretly, Qingmei took the July Tiger and their group to take a shortcut to the secret road and also brought it to her bamboo hut, which was arranged at the foot of the mountain.

This area is inaccessible, and relatively speaking, it is more likely that they will not be disturbed or explored, so that they can concentrate on advancing easily and worry-free.

Then, she distributed the medicinal food and medicinal soup packets separately, telling them to grope for discretion due to their different personal constitutions.

Qingmei and her friends are next to the Protector of the Formation, planning to wait for them to complete their promotion, and then the matter of selling medicine and food will be completely handed over to them, so she will not participate much for the time being, and only concentrate on improving the strength of herself and her friends.

Anyway, as long as she continues to provide refined and purified medicinal liquids, now that the business of exchanging medicine and food is gradually on the right track, and after this time, their strength will also increase, and there is nothing for her to worry about.

After a few days, they were promoted one after another, and the first-order was promoted to the second-order, and the second-order was promoted to the third-order...... However, upgrading from the third order to the fourth order is a big hurdle after all, and a new promotion to the third order like Uncle Tiger is just more stable, or accumulating more, and rising to a small level, to the late stage of the third order.

There are only two people who have been promoted from the third order to the fourth order, that is, July and Uncle Eagle, both of them are old third-order, on the one hand, they have accumulated enough, on the other hand, they have great potential, July is a martial and aggressive female man, and Uncle Eagle is the most flexible and fastest monk here!

When the two of them were promoted, they fought each other, and they fought heartily before they stopped.

Qingmei also told them about the plans she had thought about before.

July immediately said anxiously: "Little Qingmei, you really won't participate from now on?"

"Well, I don't need to get involved in this matter for the time being, in the future, you can regularly send people to send medicinal herb materials, and at the same time come to get the medicinal liquid powder I have refined, and you can also send the newly discovered species over for me to identify!"

Someone else asked: "We post the valuable species that we need, and the categories that we don't need to discard, so that other people can purposefully collect materials in exchange for medicine and food, but some people outside them will also see these, and then directly take the valuable medicinal herb materials to research, and also develop the elixir, what should we do?"

Ji Meng'er, a little girl with bright black eyes, quickly answered this question: "Then it depends on their ability." If they don't produce any results, then they can only use a lot of resources to exchange for us, if they make a little pill, needless to say, it will definitely not be as good as ours, it will not have much impact on us, and this can also drive the development of the entire Savage Mirror's alchemy, on the other hand, it can also help us distract. In short, we don't have to look at this issue very narrowly, from the overall situation, whether it succeeds or not, we will benefit!"

Qingmei smiled and winked at the little girl Ji Meng'er: "Meng'er is right, from the overall situation, in the long run, although we can't be completely selfless, but then the cultivation level of the Barbarian Mirror will rise as a whole, which is also a good thing! The expectation of the cadres and I for everyone is that we will always guard the bottom line and never forget our original intention! Even if we are developed and proud in the future, we should not go with the flow and change our position!"

Everyone pondered silently for a while about what the two little girls said, remembered it in their hearts, and strengthened their beliefs!

In this way, Uncle Tiger in July and they all returned to the market medicine and food shop with the joy of promotion, and they used the pure medicinal powder made by Qingmei to make medicine and food, and reopened again!

The people who got the news hurried over in surprise, and those who had other thoughts also gathered together and started to think crookedly, but now that they have two fourth-order cultivators on their side, Qiqi and Big Eagle, they are naturally not afraid of these cow ghosts, snakes, and gods coming to find fault.

……

Qingmei and her friends also started to live an idle cultivation life again.

She took out the ancient Five Elements Basic Exercises that Qiancang had given her, and planned to study it carefully.

After getting acquainted, she made a variety of medicinal food and spiritual vegetables to increase energy and purify spiritual power according to the Danfang recipe, and then after she and her friends ate and absorbed, they followed the route of the Five Elements Basic Exercises to open up the meridian dantian and develop various acupoints in the body......

After the spiritual power was consumed, the bathing elixir soup was prepared, and each of them had a large bucket, soaked in it, and boiled their muscles and bones from the outside to polish their bodies.

In this way, day after day, the combination of inside and outside to shape the body, while taking into account cultivation, the strength of Qingmei and a few small ones has also improved rapidly.

Qingmei is also more familiar with this jade slip of the ancient Five Elements Basic Exercises, and she has some different ideas.

The current cultivation system is roughly divided into single spiritual roots, double spiritual roots, three spiritual roots, four spiritual roots, and five spiritual roots, as well as physical cultivation and martial cultivation without spiritual roots.

The less spiritual roots a person embodies, the more singular the spiritual power absorption, and the faster his spiritual power cultivation speed is, and the higher his strength rises.

Qingmei thinks that this is a misunderstanding.

The five basic elements of metal, wood, water, fire, and earth are the foundation of all things.

In other words, every human being must contain the basic elements of the five elements, and even if one of the five elements is missing, it is incomplete and incomplete, and it is impossible for them to survive in the world.

It's just that for one or more of the five elements of gold, wood, water, fire, and earth, there is a difference between more and less affinity, that is, explicit and implicit. Monks can favor cultivation for the explicit spiritual root with more affinity, but for the hidden spiritual root, even if the affinity is less, it must be taken into account at the same time, and it is not advisable to give up cultivation without completely putting it aside.

Ancient monks often began their cultivation by cultivating the Five Elements Basic Exercises, which was the most natural practice for the human body, and laid the most basic, complete and good foundation for cultivation from the very beginning.

And now, those single spirit roots and double spirit root exercises that have been adapted are all shortcuts, which can quickly improve their strength in the short term, but in the long run, they are not conducive to the cultivation of the human body.

Otherwise, how can there be a saying that compared with the monks of the same level in ancient times, the monks of today are far inferior to the ancient monks in terms of physique and mana.

Also, when the single spirit root monk was promoted to the Yuan Infant Stage, he had not advanced for a long time, so he couldn't further improve it.

This is also because they have gone in the wrong direction from the beginning, and only the development of the five elements is in line with the nature of the Heavenly Dao.

Everyone has the five elements in their bodies, and those single spirit root cultivators, but the other spirit roots are still hidden, and the foundation has not yet been developed, so they hurriedly take shortcuts to practice, and after reaching the Yuan Infant Stage, they have to spend more effort to find and fill in the gaps in the cultivation of other five element elements, so as to be promoted to the Transformation Stage, so as to go further on the path of cultivation. In this way, not only does it get half the result, but it often works hard, and it may not be effective.

Because the process of being promoted to the stage of transformation from the Yuan Infant Period is based on the intact elements of the five elements of gold, wood, water, fire, and earth, which operate and blend in the human body, becoming an independent small world of its own, and then, beyond the five elements, grasp the natural power of heaven and earth, comprehend the supernatural powers, and finally, we can talk about the promotion of the gods.

And the difference between the various cultivation methods, in the final analysis, is only to absorb spiritual power from the outside world into the body, through different cultivation routes, to store spiritual power to the dantian. This cultivation route is different, which directly leads to the difference in the speed of cultivation.

The basic exercises of the five elements are equivalent to slowly opening up all the meridians and acupoints of the human body step by step, refining bones, refining tendons, refining membranes, refining meat, refining blood, refining skin and other human body structures, all of which are completely forged and developed with aura, and are committed to building the human body into the most suitable "whole spirit body" for cultivation.

It is conceivable that this is the most perfect foundation for cultivation, but it also takes a long time and the cultivation speed is also very slow.

As a result, later generations took the shortcut of cultivation and adapted the exercises, of course, because of the general trend, the spiritual power in the general environment became increasingly scarce and weak, and they had to take this shortcut.

The cultivation exercises adapted from ancient times omitted many cultivation steps, and they often only opened a few main cultivation meridians and some major acupoints, which could be used for spiritual power to run and store in the dantian.

This is the fundamental difference between the ancient and modern exercises, which is better and which is inferior, even if some monks know this fact, they know that they should honestly practice according to the Five Elements Basic Exercises, so that they can have the best foundation and the strongest cultivation foundation.

However, very few people can withstand the temptation of rapid promotion, especially in today's situation of insufficient spiritual energy, everyone has to scramble, one step slow, one step is slow, no one wants to look at those who are not as qualified as themselves, but faster than their own cultivation!

Qingmei chose the most basic Five Elements Exercises for herself and her friends to cultivate, and she couldn't control the others, but it was more than enough to supply her own people's medicinal food and spiritual vegetables, so she did not have the influence of insufficient spiritual power, and the spiritual food made of her origin ice flame did not have the side effects of the impurities of the elixir at all, and she could absorb it completely without worries.

Therefore, taken together, her cultivation speed is only faster than others!

In the process of bathing in the body refining elixir soup, because it is to refine the physical body and shape the physique, there is still a certain amount of pain and discomfort, so in order to distract the young children, Qingmei slowly analyzed these cultivation knowledge to them.

Wang gossip little white dog was tormented by the body refining medicine soup and howled, and did not forget to respond positively: "I know, I know...... There are many meridians and acupoints in the human body, just like many roads extend in all directions, after the operation of the five elements of the basic exercises, absorb spiritual power into the body, each path can be walked, unimpeded to the dantian, and the single spiritual root only opens a specific road, take a shortcut to the dantian, and the other meridians are still blocked, this is not good, not conducive to long-term cultivation in the future!"

Qingmei: "Well, Shenwang is right!"

Wang Gossip snorted proudly, even the pain of refining the body can be persevered, and he is no longer squeamish!

Qingmei lowered her head and smiled secretly.
