Chapter 19: The Monastic Realm
Zhou Tian saw Xiaoyue Daoist say this, but he breathed a sigh of relief, he knew that he had made the right bet, this Xiaoyue evil Dao really had another plan, as long as Xiaoyue didn't kill him immediately, if it dragged on for a while, he would win a little more time, he had never despaired, and he always believed that he could get out of such a crisis.
Man is dead, but the way is alive.
This is one of Zhou Tian's beliefs in life.
"It's strange, this little ghost doesn't have any props on his body except for the things that the teacher gave you, and he doesn't have a talisman, with this little ghost's cultivation of gathering qi, how did he break your needle heart talisman?" Xiaoyue Daoist asked Wang Ben to search Zhou Tian's body carefully, except for the more than 200 Huaxia coins that were not in his eyes at all, Zhou Tian only had things on his body that were searched from Wang himself, which made Xiaoyue Daoist very strange.
"What, Master, this little miscellaneous is already a cultivation of the first layer of Qi Gathering?" Wang Ben said with surprise and envy.
Because of his relationship with the original named disciple of Xiaoyue Daoren, Wang Ben also has some understanding of the realm of cultivation. The cultivation realm is divided by the realm of qi gathering, from the first layer of qi gathering to the ninth layer of qi gathering, each level of improvement, the strength will increase exponentially, for example, his master Xiaoyue Daoist is the realm of the sixth layer of qi gathering.
Although Xiao Yue was only the sixth layer of Qi Gathering, Xiao Yue told him that for some reason, cultivators in this world were already extremely rare, and cultivators who could cultivate to the fourth level or more were even rarer. If he had the instinct to possess the cultivation of the third layer of Qi Gathering, it would be enough for him to walk sideways in this mortal world, and even the average legendary martial arts master would not dare to provoke him lightly.
The requirements for cultivating martial arts are very different, Xiaoyue Dao Chang said that the reason why he accepted him as a registered disciple is because he has a very weak Dao root, only people with Dao roots on his body can cultivate the Dao, ordinary people, even those martial arts wizards who are rare to see in a hundred years in legends, if they don't have Dao roots, they can't practice Dao arts.
Xiao Yue also told him that with his weak Dao root qualifications, if he became his official disciple and cultivated the cultivation techniques he had passed on, he should be able to condense Dao Qi within three months, achieve a small success within half a year, and reach the realm of the first level of Qi Gathering within a year, and with sufficient cultivation resources, it is still possible to reach the third level of Qi Gathering within five years.
As for whether he can break through to the fourth layer of Qi Gathering, it is not something that can be solved by hard work, it depends on his chance and luck, if there is no chance and luck, no matter how hard he works, with his Dao Root qualifications, it is estimated that he will stop at the third layer of Qi Gathering, after all, Wang Ben is already eighteen years old, and he has only started cultivating at this age, and it has been nearly ten years late.
Zhou Tian's cultivation realm was quite different from what they knew, and his first level of realm was not the first level of qi gathering, but the first level of qi refining.
"Gathering" and "refining" are two different concepts, "gathering" is the meaning of "gathering", "refining" is the meaning of "refining, condensing", and the premise of refining or condensing is also "gathering gas", only after gathering gas can the gas be refined or condensed, literally understood, "refining gas" is an enhanced version of "gathering gas".
Of course, for these, neither Wang Ben nor Xiaoyue knows. Wang Ben heard that his master actually said that Zhou Tian was now a cultivator of the first level of Qi Gathering, according to what his master said, it would take a year for him to reach the realm of the first level of Qi Gathering, and this little miscellaneous was a year ahead of himself, so he was naturally envious and jealous.
If he knew that it only took more than two hours for Zhou Tian to cultivate to the first level of Qi refining, I am afraid that Wang Ben would vomit three liters of blood on the spot.
"This little ghost's Dao root qualifications are not bad, much better than you, but it is also a miscellaneous root, it is already very good to be able to cultivate to the first level of Qi Gathering, and it is extremely unlikely that he will have any great achievements in the future, and it may be more difficult to step into the fourth layer, so you don't have to envy him." Xiaoyue Daoist seemed to guess what Wang Ben was thinking, and said indifferently: "Besides, the teacher has promised to hand him over to you for disposal, according to your temperament, will you still let him have a future?" ”
Hearing Shizun say this, Wang Ben turned jealousy into joy, squatted down and patted Zhou Tian's face, and said with a smile: "Did you hear the little miscellaneous, Shizun has promised to hand you over to me to dispose of, if you want to be better, quickly beg for mercy, learn two dog barks to the master, maybe the master is in a good mood, and will make you die more comfortably." ”
"Let me beg you for mercy, and say that the dog barks? Hey, hey, I'll smack you! ”
Zhou Tian sneered twice disdainfully, suddenly raised his head sharply and spit out a mouthful of saliva, Wang Ben couldn't dodge, and the mouthful of thick phlegm sprayed on his face. Zhou Tian, who has cultivated the Qi Ding Technique, does not smell saliva, and if you smell it carefully, you can still smell a wisp of a very good light fragrance, but how could Wang Ben smell it, but he was disgusted, roared angrily, and kicked Zhou Tian a few times while hurriedly wiping the saliva on his face, scolding non-stop.
However, Zhou Tian didn't react to his wild kicks, but looked at him with disdain, which made Wang Ben even more crazy, and kicked him so much that he almost lost his strength, bowing down and panting there, and Wuzi still felt puzzled.
And for Zhou Tian, Wang Ben's kicking not only did not bring him any pain, but made him have a very comfortable feeling, as if there were some hidden dangers in his body, and he was kicked by Wang Ben, and those hidden dangers gradually disappeared a lot, until Wang Ben stopped, Zhou Tian didn't know where that comfortable feeling came from, because he found that he was loosened a lot by Xiaoyue, an old miscellaneous hair, which made him surprised and a little doubtful that he had a tendency to be abused.
"Okay, eight." Xiaoyue Daoist saw that he was almost angry, so he said: "You first take this bottle of Huiyi to dissipate the sheep will of the two female babies above, but don't let them go, for the teacher to clear their memories." ”
"Wow, Master, you can even erase your memory, it's amazing!" Wang Ben said with envy.
"It's just some small Dao techniques, if you can reach the fourth layer of Qi Gathering, you can do it too." Xiaoyue Daoren said lightly, but his face showed arrogance.
In fact, for him, the so-called erasing of memories is just the use of illusion to affect the other party's brain memory, not a real erasure, if there are monks who are higher in cultivation than him, they can also break his illusion and let these people recover their memories. It's just that there are very few monks in this world, and those real sect monks will not appear in the mortal world due to some kind of constraint, so the possibility of these people being able to recover their memories is extremely low.
And these are important means for him to traverse the mortal world, as long as he is careful not to be discovered by some special departments in Huaxia, he can live a comfortable life in the mortal world.
Zhou Tian didn't pay attention to these two masters and apprentices, he knew that he was still safe now, at least he would be fine until this Xiaoyue achieved his goal, but whether he could escape the catastrophe in the next place could not rely on others, and he had to rely on himself.
Therefore, while Xiaoyue Daoist and Wang Ben were dealing with the aftermath, Zhou Tian secretly lucked up the qi trick and tried to quietly lift Xiaoyue's imprisonment against him.
Wang Ben's punching and kicking just now had loosened the confinement on his body a little, and with Zhou Tian's efforts, when Xiaoyue Daoist and Wang Ben got Chen Chengwen, Bi Shaojun, Su Xiaomei, and Zhou Tian to the barbecue position above, Zhou Tian had already begun to be able to operate the Qi Ding Jue.
It's just that the operation of the Qi Ding Technique is extremely slow due to the influence of the Howling Moon Dao Person's Imprisonment Talisman, which is several times slower than the running speed of the first lap of his first cultivation of the Qi Ding Technique, and according to the current running speed, he estimates that it will take him at least half a day to run a circle according to the Qi Ding Formula.
However, Zhou Tian firmly believed that as long as he was given time, he would always be able to recover his true qi, and with the slow operation of the true qi in his body, Zhou Tian found that whenever the true qi ran through an acupuncture point, a wisp of heat that he did not know would automatically appear in his body and seep into the true qi, and the confinement on his body would weaken a little at the same time, which made him see the hope of escape.
