Chapter 253: Diving Cultivation
Du Shen always felt that his true qi was a little worse and he couldn't build a foundation. Pen, Fun, Pavilion www.biquge.info he finally understood at this point. It turned out that the exercises I had practiced were incomplete.
Du Shen's apprenticeship is to learn some advanced formations and Taoist tricks. The ear mound only teaches people how to build a foundation, and Du Shen naturally does not want to stay longer. He was concentrating on building the foundation as soon as possible so that he could go to the outer gate around Luan Lake.
Although he was in a hurry, Du Shen still had the patience to refine his true qi as much as possible. After seven months of penance, Du Shen successfully broke through the innate with the help of two pills and was promoted to the early stage of foundation building.
Du Shen's speed is relatively fast, although he is not the first to build a foundation, but he also surpasses most of his peers.
At this time, Song Tianxing and the others were still polishing their true qi. Du Shen's Tsukidan still has a remnant. Du Shen sold a few pieces to familiar peers at cost price, and the rest were sold to other peers at a higher price.
Du Shen said goodbye to Song Tianxing and the others, and hurried north alone. Climbing over two higher mountains, a huge basin emerges ahead. From a distance, there were no people in the basin, all dense woods, and purple miasma floating in the sky.
In fact, they are all illusions formed by the distortion of the formation. There is a large lake in the center of the basin, called Luan Lake. Around the lake are densely packed or sparsely populated houses, which are the outer gates. There is also a small island in the center of the lake, on which the palace stretches, and where the main departments of the outer gate are gathered.
The inner gate of the Tongxuan sect is on top of several peaks on the north side of the basin. is also covered by a phantom array, even ordinary outer disciples, and they don't want to enter easily.
Around Luan Lake, Du Shen had been here a few times earlier. He went to the Shuwu Hall to report and was assigned to a hut facing the lake. The aura around Luan Lake is much richer than that of the outside world. Innate martial artists will only feel uncomfortable when they practice here, and the monks who build the foundation and above will be like a fish in water.
The aura is strong, and many spiritual fields are naturally cultivated around the lakeside to grow precious herbs. I heard that there are a lot of rare fish cultivated in Luan Lake, which is the livelihood of high-level disciples.
Becoming a foundation building monk, you can move more and more freely every day, you don't have to count every day, you only need to go to the Hall of Merit every month to receive the monthly order. Of course, if you need to leave the sect for a long time, you still need to report and explain the approximate time and reason.
The distribution of benefits in the Hall of Merit is only a side business, and it is mainly to issue tasks and trade resources for disciples. There is a kind of currency inside the door, which is called merit. It can be obtained by completing sect quests or turning in various materials. The existence of the Hall of Merit is the support of disciples. The materials inside are sold to disciples at a discount. There is a reward for the disciples who hand in the materials.
Merit is very important, and learning a lot of Dao knowledge in the door requires the consumption of merit. Although the amount required is not high.
Du Shen came here to learn all kinds of Taoist knowledge. He certainly doesn't waste time on any task. Du Shen handed over a batch of relatively ordinary spiritual materials to the Hall of Merit in exchange for a large amount of merit. Because spiritual materials are relatively common, Du Shen has received relatively few rewards.
Du Shen exchanged the merits in his hands for formation knowledge. Inside the outer gate, there will be teachers at regular intervals to impart various knowledge. The disciple chooses whether to listen or not. However, after each lesson, the teacher will accept the students' inquiries and answer any questions free of charge.
Of course, many division commanders are not very good-tempered, and they are even less patient. If your question is too low-level, the teacher will reprimand you, or even drive you away and let you figure it out for yourself.
Although he may be scolded, compared to doing casual self-study, Du Shen's efficiency of studying here is really much higher.
Because he does not participate in the task and has less contact with other colleagues on weekdays, Du Shen's life is very peaceful.
Every night, Du Shen arranged the formation, isolated the inside and outside, and indulged in the practice of "Candle Dragon Change". During the day, Du Shen spent most of his time learning all kinds of Taoist knowledge. Sometimes, Du Shen will also practice "Tongxuan Dao Jue" to hide people's eyes and ears.
"Tongxuan Dao Jue" is the most fundamental exercise of the Tongxuan School, which points directly to the Great Dao and is relatively easy to practice. However, because it is relatively easy to cultivate, cultivators can hardly obtain any supernatural powers.
The Tongxuan School has been inherited for tens of thousands of years, and naturally there are those who are amazing and brilliant, improving the Taoist recipe and creating various mysterious new exercises. Most of the other disciples chose this type of derivative exercise in order to gain stronger combat power.
Du Shen also wanted to cultivate one or two supernatural powers. However, most of his energy needs to be consumed on knowledge such as "Candle Dragon Transformation" and formations. His qualifications are already excellent, and if his cultivation is too slow to improve, it will inevitably arouse suspicion. So he could only pick the exercises that were easiest to cultivate.
Even so, Du Shen's cultivation gradually fell behind. Not to mention the two geniuses of Song Tianxing and Mu Yan, even several other old friends with mediocre qualifications have also surpassed Du Shen one after another.
In a blink of an eye, Du Shen had been in the Tongxuan Sect for almost five years. Song Tianxing is blessed with unique talents, and he has actually entered the middle stage of foundation building. Although it mainly depends on the strange fruit he accidentally took during a certain mission. But the pace is still appalling.
Cultivation is a good thing after all. Including Du Shen, more than a dozen monks who had a deep friendship with Song Tianxing spontaneously gathered together to celebrate him.
Song Tianxing came from an ordinary background, but his luck was deep and he had many adventures. He is also the Lord of the Money. He paid out of his own pocket and bought a lot of spiritual wine and spiritual food to entertain everyone.
Everyone drinks and braws, but they are also happy.
The monks attached great importance to their cultivation, and the banquet did not last long. The spiritual wine was gone, and everyone exchanged their cultivation experiences slightly, and they dispersed.
The houses of the people were allocated by the general affairs hall, and they were separated from each other by a long distance. Du Shen talked and laughed with people, and in the end only walked with another female cultivator.
The female cultivator is called Liu Bilian, and her performance during the banquet just now is quite strange. Her gaze seemed to often stay on Du Shen. Sometimes when I got up, I seemed to come to Du Shen's side intentionally or unintentionally.
At this time, the two walked together, and Liu Bilian and Du Shen got closer and closer. Her arm touched Du Shen's body twice. Du Shen had to let go again and again.
For a long time, seeing that Du Shen was still puzzled, Liu Bilian couldn't help but stop. She was secretly unhappy, frowning and pretending to be shy: "Du Shen, we cultivators don't have to hide it. I like you, and I've loved you since I started worshipping you. I intend to marry you. Are you going to hate me for not being pretty?"
Liu Bilian's appearance is not bad, although she is slightly inferior to Mu Yan, but she is better than her gentle personality. She is also a beauty of one in a thousand, petite and plump.
Du Shen looked dull, stopped and turned around to look at Liu Bilian. Liu Bilian was secretly happy in her heart, and deliberately straightened up her bulging chest.
Du Shenmu said: "You are very beautiful." It's just that I'm bent on seeking the Tao, and I don't want to be dragged down by the love of my children. I can only live up to your affection. ”
Liu Bilian frowned, feeling that Du Shen was inevitably blind. She rolled her eyes and felt that there was nothing unleasing about men. She took the initiative to step forward and reached out to hold Du Shen's arm: "But I have a deep affection for you." I think about you day and night, and I have formed a demonic barrier that affects my cultivation. What to do?"
Liu Bilian pleaded pitifully: "Du Shen, otherwise, you can help me." If I don't get rid of the demonic obstacles in my mind, I won't be able to meditate and practice. Why don't you help me fulfill my long-cherished wish and stay with me for one night?"
"Let's," Liu Bilian lowered her head, her cheeks obviously flushed, "Let's have a good night?"
Liu Bilian used her full chest to gently squeeze Du Shen's arms. Du Shen frowned and groaned.
"Okay," Du Shen nodded, "Okay." Just to help you. Just sleep one night. Wait for tomorrow and dawn, let's go our separate ways. ”
Liu Bilian was secretly annoyed in her heart: "Think beautifully! The old lady's advantage is so easy to take advantage of?"
