Chapter Forty-Nine: Low-key Practice

Today, the person in charge of teaching the "Shui Yuan Gong" exercises is Deacon Chen, and the new young disciples such as Zhao Lengfei are basically managed by Deacon Chen and another Deacon Zheng, so he is quite familiar with Deacon Chen. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

Deacon Chen's appearance is very young, he looks like he is in his twenties, although his appearance is not as stunning as that of Deacon Bi, but it can be regarded as a rare beauty, in the outer gate of Xuanshui Gate, there are many fewer female disciples than male disciples, and there are even fewer high-level women in the sect, only more than 20 female deacons and four female consuls, and among the eight elders, only Elder Nangong is a woman.

Zhao Lengfei now knows why these female deacons look so young, it is a woman's nature to love beauty, there is no doubt about this, and female cultivators are no exception. Most female cultivators will choose exercises with anti-aging effects, and some female cultivators will practice some anti-aging techniques or take certain anti-aging elixirs to make themselves look more youthful and beautiful.

There are pros and cons to female cultivators doing this, they seem to be eternally young, but in fact, they unconsciously slow down their cultivation speed, and they may also overdraw their essence and reduce their lifespan. Male cultivators pay the most attention to their own cultivation and strength, and few of them deliberately go to their faces, so most of the male cultivators are slightly old, like the deputy master of Qi and several elders of the outer gate, all of them have white hair and white beards.

The cultivation techniques recorded in "Shui Yuan Gong" are not difficult to understand, so Deacon Chen just briefly talked about the precautions when cultivating during the foundation building period, and then began to explain the spells recorded in "Shui Yuan Gong".

When a cultivator learns any spell, he cannot do without twenty-four one-word formulas, thirty-six one-handed formulas, and one hundred and eight two-handed formulas.

Twenty-four one-word formulas include: open, break, rise, chop, receive, set and other twenty-four words, these twenty-four words are the most basic spell formulas, and the formulas used in dust level spells are basically single-word formulas. The pronunciation of the mantra is very strange, exactly the same as Dasheng Chinese, Zhao Lengfei felt that the pronunciation was similar to some Chinese characters, and he was catchy after learning it a few times with Deacon Chen.

In addition to learning its pronunciation, you must also learn how to draw these words, which are very complex to write, and it often takes more than ten minutes to write a word, so it is more appropriate to describe it by drawing. When making talismans and charms, you need to write the corresponding mantra on the talisman paper, Zhao Lengfei uses only a part of a single word when drawing talismans such as meditation talismans, and he has a good calligraphy and painting skills and talent, so he learns much faster than other disciples.

The mantra is much more complicated than the mantra, the thirty-six one-handed mantra and the one hundred and eight hand-handed mantra cannot be mastered without a few years of hard practice, and the cultivator in the foundation building period can use the mantra and the mantra at the same time to control the true qi to use the corresponding spell or control his own magic weapon.

There are thirty or forty spells recorded in "Water Yuan Gong", and only ten can be used during the foundation building period, among which the four low-level spells of the water archery, water bomb, water shield and exorcism are the general basic spells of the water attribute exercises, and the remaining few spirit spells and archery that can be practiced and used during the foundation building period, such as the water thousand thorn technique, the large water explosion spell and the ice condensation technique, etc., are intermediate spells of the dust level, as well as the dust level spell casting spell spell of the water attribute.

Zhao Lengfei's current level was not enough to use any of these spells, he was only familiar with and memorized the formulas, techniques, and true qi operation meridians of each spell now, so as to lay a foundation for future use.

Practicing exorcism has made it possible to use magic weapons, and some magic weapons also have specific usage techniques, with which you can maximize their power.

The magic weapon also has the distinction between heaven and earth and mortal dust, and the cultivator can use the dust level magic weapon in the early stage of foundation building, and if you want to use the mortal level magic weapon, you need to cultivate at least the middle stage of the foundation, otherwise the true qi is insufficient, and the magic weapon has no way to urge at all.

Dust-level magic weapons can be purchased directly by using spirit stones in the refining hall, and all mortal-level magic weapons need to be customized or collected by themselves to refine them, and the refining method can be found when you go to the Gongfa Pavilion or the refining hall, and the rewards for some special tasks in the task hall are mortal-level magic weapons, but they are not very good mortal-level magic weapons, and high-quality mortal-level magic weapons are rare, and only when they make great contributions to the door or are accepted as disciples by a certain door master elder, they will be given some high-quality mortal-level magic weapons.

Zhao Lengfei is now at the entry level of the early stage of foundation building, only allowing his physical body and divine consciousness to be strengthened when absorbing and refining spiritual energy, and does not have the ability to use true qi.

Zhao Lengfei realized that his top priority was to improve his cultivation, otherwise he would not be able to practice spells and use magic weapons, and the gap between him and other senior brothers and sisters would be even greater.

The Spirit Release Array needs to place five lower-grade spirit stones at a time, and replacing the spirit stones can only be used for six or seven days, Zhao Lengfei's sect benefits and duties for a quarter are only five lower-grade spirit stones, so he is reluctant to use the Spirit Release Array to cultivate, and within a few days, Zhao Lengfei found that he could directly absorb the spiritual energy from the spirit stones, and the Spirit Release Array, which cost him a lot of money, was completely useless.

Zhao Lengfei didn't want to use the spirit stones given by his grandfather until he had to use them again, and the sect benefits and duties were only issued once a quarter, so there were almost no spirit stones he could control in the next two months.

Coincidentally, Mu Xizi used the method that Zhao Lengfei told her to assist the outer gate to break the Liulian Mountain bandits, and made a great contribution, and obtained a reward of a full twenty low-grade spirit stones, Mu Xizi thought that this was all the credit of Zhao Lenghai, so she insisted on giving Zhao Lengfei half of the reward after receiving the reward, Zhao Lengfei shirked it several times, but still failed to beat Mu Xizi, so that he would not live a cultivation life without spirit stones.

The materials for drawing the spirit runes are not expensive, and Zhao Lengfei has a lot of gold and silver money in his hands, so he insists on using the spirit runes when he is practicing, and the enhancement effect of the spirit runes on cultivation is not very obvious, but it is definitely better than nothing, and after a long time, Zhao Lenghai's method of making spirit runes has become more and more proficient, and the action time of several spirit runes has gradually increased from two hours to four hours.

When cultivating, it is most taboo to be disturbed by others, and an extremely quiet and safe environment is required, so Zhao Lengfei placed out the set of formations with protection and sound insulation effects in the room during his cultivation, and after the formation was opened, he knew that such a simplest miniature formation actually needed a piece of original spirit stone every month to maintain, and he now understood why the outer disciples regarded the spirit stone as so important.

For more than a month after entering the early stage of foundation building, Zhao Lengfei spent all his time cultivating and consulting various classics except for going to the lecture hall at the beginning of the month and the end of the month, which was boring and incomprehensible to ordinary people, but he finally persevered, because he knew that his qualifications were much worse than others, and he had to pay several times the efforts of others.

More than a month has passed, Zhao Lengfei has finally consolidated his cultivation in the early stage of foundation building, and he can use some simple low-level spells of the dust level, although this speed is at the bottom of the disciples of the same class, but it is enough to surprise everyone in the outer sect, after all, Zhao Lengfei's qualifications are too much inferior to the senior brothers and sisters of the same class, and no one could have imagined that he would be able to keep up with the cultivation progress of other disciples.

There is also a reason why Zhao Lengfei can have such a cultivation speed, taking advantage of his position as a pavilion patrol, he spends more time on cultivation than other disciples, he used up nearly a thousand spirit runes in more than a month, and even took more than a dozen Qi Nourishing Pills, the spirit stones Mu Xizi gave him spent more than half just to buy Qi Nourishing Pills, and if other disciples had these pills, talismans and time, the cultivation speed was estimated to be several times faster.

Zhao Lengfei carefully calculated and tried to save spirit stones, this quarter's spirit stones are still not enough, and according to his spending rate, the benefits and offerings in the next quarter may not be enough for him to practice for a month, he feels that he needs to take over some tasks to do, and after planning Zhao Lengfei went to the mission hall, and when he came to the mission hall, he learned that the outer gate has increased all the middle and senior positions from this quarter to three times, which is undoubtedly a great joy for him.

When Zhao Lengfei went to the mission hall, it happened that Yang Ye was also there, Yang Ye never imagined that he could enter the early stage of foundation building so quickly, pulling him to ask long and short, Zhao Lengfei only said about his use of spirit runes, and did not mention the matter of the spirit array.

Yang Ye waved his hand again and again after learning of Zhao Lengfei's intention, and said, "The master has asked me to take special care of you, what other tasks do you take, I will arrange another position for you." ”

Zhao Lengfei was naturally respectful and not as good as obeying his fate, Yang Ye had just learned that Zhao Lengfei was quite talented in talisman making, so he asked him if he was interested in talisman making, and after consulting him, Yang Ye arranged a talisman making position for him in the Fu Pavilion Talisman Pavilion.

Talisman is a very commonly used one of the hundred arts, learning talisman is not high for cultivation, the vast majority of cultivators will make some simple low-level talismans, it is much more difficult to make high-level talismans, learners not only have a deep understanding of various spells, but also must have a very high talent for painting, it is not easy to learn.

The disciples who hold the talisman making position in the Fu Pavilion have a lot of privileges, they can spend the internal price to buy some rare talismans that other disciples can't buy at all, and they can also learn the advanced talisman making skills that other disciples can't reach for free, although it is unlikely that they can learn to make high-level talismans, but if they can really learn one or two high-level talisman production methods, then he basically doesn't have to worry about the cultivation spirit stone anymore, Zhao Lengfei took a fancy to this point, so he accepted this position.

The disciples who hold the position of talisman are basically worshiped every quarter and the same as the pavilion, they are all nine lower-grade spirit stones, but there are more performance offerings than the pavilion, if the number of talismans in the season exceeds the rated amount, you can get a lot of performance offerings, but there are not many talisman disciples in the Fu Pavilion who can do this, and there are one or two talisman disciples who can get performance offerings every quarter.

Zhao Lengfei still underestimated the talisman making, he had drawn the talismans used by mortals such as meditation talismans and acupoint sense talismans, and thought that he had a high level of painting calligraphy and knew how to accurately allocate the drawing materials, where did he know that although the low-level talismans used by the cultivators did not have high requirements for cultivation, they also needed the cultivators to integrate their true qi into them when drawing the talismans, which was much more difficult than drawing the talismans used by mortals.

As soon as he went to the Fu Pavilion he was stumped by the integration of true qi, his true qi was too little, and it was not enough to draw a low-level talisman of the dust level, but fortunately, the Fu Pavilion was also managed by the consul under Elder Ye, and Yang Ye specially ran to greet the management disciples of the Fu Pavilion again, and the deacons of the Fu Pavilion didn't care about Zhao Lengfei's poor cultivation and didn't know anything, so let him start by printing yellow paper and mixing drawing materials.

Gongfa Pavilion Patrol Pavilion and Fu Gong Pavilion talisman making are relatively easy and not low intermediate positions, many deacon disciples are not wanting, Zhao Lengfei is just a new high-level disciple, young and short, and the root bone qualification is still poor, after his service in Gongfa Pavilion and Fu Zheng Pavilion was known by other disciples in the door, it naturally caused many people to be dissatisfied.

However, they also guessed that Zhao Lengfei could get such a big privilege in the outer gate, it was definitely not Yang Ye's deacon who had the final say, there must be consuls and even high-level elders to support him, and all the disciples who were jealous of Zhao Lengfei only dared to speak ill of him behind his back, and did not dare to find fault with him in person.

Of course, not everyone hates him, except for Mu Xizi who takes good care of him, the other senior brothers and sisters who started together also have a good relationship with him, Zhao Lengfei heard from Huang Liang about the attitude of other disciples towards him, so he acted more low-key, not giving other disciples a chance to find fault with him.

Zhao Lengfei has two duties, patrolling the pavilion and making talismans, and the outer gate has greatly increased the worship of middle and senior positions, so his quarterly welfare offerings and the spirit stones required for cultivation can be basically equal, and now he finally doesn't have to worry about the lack of spirit stones.

Zhao Lengfei persevered in earnest cultivation every day as planned, although the speed was still not as fast as the senior brothers and sisters of the people together, but it was not left behind by them, and after entering the outer gate for about a year, the disciples of the same class began to cultivate to the middle stage of foundation building one after another.

One afternoon a year and a half later, after four consecutive days of cultivation in his room, Zhao Lengfei woke up from his cultivation state, he breathed a long sigh of relief, let go of his right hand, and a small pinch of white powder appeared in the palm of his right hand.

"It's in the middle of foundation building, almost half the time later than the others."

Zhao Lengfei had already felt that the true qi in his dantian had stopped growing a month ago, this was the first time he had encountered this situation, but he knew very well that he had reached the peak of the early stage of foundation building and encountered a cultivation bottleneck, and he had to break through continuous penance or other opportunities, and then he would be able to enter the middle stage of foundation building.

Zhao Lengfei knew that it was difficult to find opportunities in such a peaceful cultivation life as the outer gate, and deliberately looking for opportunities would often lead to nothing, the cultivation bottleneck in the early stage of foundation building was the only bottleneck in a cultivator's cultivation career that could definitely be broken through hard cultivation, and no matter how poor the qualifications were, cultivators could cultivate to the middle stage of foundation building like Yu Huaqing as long as they practiced hard.

So Zhao Lengfei began his month-long ascetic cultivation path, this is the third time he has tried to break through in a month, and now he can barely cultivate for five consecutive days, the previous two breakthroughs took him five days, and they were also at the last moment of breaking through the bottleneck because his body reached the limit and he couldn't continue to cultivate and failed.

Zhao Lengfei specially prepared three water-attribute lower grade spirit stones for the third breakthrough, and now he can absorb the aura in the spirit stone without any hindrance without any assistance, with the support of these three spirit stones, Zhao Lengfei absorbed the aura much faster when he cultivated, which saved him a lot of time, and when he felt that his body was about to be unable to hold on, he finally broke through the bottleneck in the early stage of foundation building and cultivated to the middle stage of foundation building.

Using up three lower-grade spirit stones at a time, Zhao Lengfei was a little distressed, his quarterly benefits and offerings were just enough for him to use normally for cultivation, these three were taken from the spirit stones left to him by his grandfather, and if he used one, he would have one less.

In fact, in recent months, Zhao Lengfei has tried his best to reduce the use of pills and spirit stones when cultivating, and the use of pills and spirit stones for a long time to cultivate is fast, but there are great side effects, it is easy to cause the body's immunity to the medicinal properties of the pill and the dependence on the spirit stone aura, if the body can no longer smoothly absorb the spirit energy from the pill and the surrounding space, then the consequences will be too terrible.

"I can finally start using some Dust-Tier Intermediate Spells and Mortal-Rank Spells." Zhao Lengfei sensed the true qi mass at the dantian, which was twice as large, and thought in his heart.

He had practiced several dust-level intermediate spells taught in the lecture hall many times, and each time he either failed directly because of the lack of true qi, or used them with little power.

But now he didn't have time to test spells, five days of continuous cultivation was already Zhao Lengfei's limit, and he had to replenish his body with some energy immediately, so he hurriedly went to get himself some food.

After filling his stomach, Zhao Lengfei flushed his body with some water and went to bed to sleep, although his cultivation can replace rest now, and his body will not feel sleepy, but he always feels that he is young, and not sleeping for a long time will affect his physical development, so he will sleep a lot after a long time of cultivation.

The growth hormone secreted by the pituitary gland will increase significantly in the state of sleep, this is still the knowledge that Zhao Lengfei learned when he was on the earth in his previous life, although there are many things around him that cannot be explained by science, his habit of thinking from a scientific point of view can never be changed, Dasheng is a giant like a forest, so he is very concerned about his height, for fear that he will not be able to grow up to others.
