Chapter 3 Groping

Since its opening, the flood has continued to expand.

For hundreds of millions of years, I don't know the height of the sky, the thickness of the earth, the boundaries of it, and the vertical and horizontal of it!

After the Great Tribulation of the Gods, the flood was shattered and divided into four continents.

They are Dongsheng Shenzhou, West Niuhe Zhou, South Zhanbu Zhou, and North Julu Zhou.

Beyond the four continents, the vastness is called the four seas.

There are nine heavens on it, and nine shadows under it.

Beyond the four continents and the four seas, there is an endless void. In the void, countless large worlds and small worlds, like stars and moons, orbit around the four continents and the four seas, the core of the desolation.

Outside the territory, there are even more starry skies. In the stars of Zhou Tian, countless creatures are born!

It has been 3,800 years since the opening of "The Flood".

So far, the player's footprint has been limited to a small area. Not to mention the players born in the infinitely vast four continents, even if it is just an inconspicuous island in the East China Sea, if there is no Mahayana cultivation, they will not want to leave.

Most players, for the rest of their lives, are just wandering around their birthplaces and can't jump out of the cage.

The place where Lu Qingfeng was born was a lonely continent outside the Beiju Luzhou, and it was not known how many billions of miles away from the Earth Immortal Realm where the four continents were located.

It is said that in this continent, there were players who practiced to the Mahayana period, felt hopeless, and tried to cross the void to Beiju Luzhou to find opportunities, but finally got lost in the endless void and disappeared!

……

"Heavenly Fox Realm - Baiman Mountain Islands - Seven Swords Mountain Range - Elephant King City - Black Sand Town."

"My current location is Black Sand Town, which is similar to a novice village."

Lu Qingfeng wandered around Heisha Town twice and got a lot of information.

Heisha Town belongs to Xiangwang City, which is one of the 800 mountains and 1,200 cities in the Seven Swords Mountain Range under the jurisdiction of the Seven Great Sword Sects.

Such a huge Seven Swords Mountain Range is just a corner of an inconspicuous island in the Baiman Mountain Islands!

"Such a huge map, is it really a game opened up by the Human Federation?"

Lu Qingfeng couldn't help but be a little suspicious!

This kind of suspicion is obviously meaningless, like Wang City, the Seven Swords Mountain Range, and the Baiman Mountain Islands, they also have nothing to do with the current Lu Qingfeng. He continued to walk, getting acquainted with the town of Black Sand.

Novices account for the vast majority of the towns in Blacksand, with large and small guilds.

Among them, there are dozens of old guilds, and they are even close to reaching the level of founding a sect. Some of them are simply supported by the sects around Vientiane City and Heisha Town, specializing in absorbing and screening genius disciples!

"The Tianchi Guild recruits new people, requiring level 10 or above, and mastering a combat technique or martial art!"

"The Imperial City Guild sincerely invites masters to join, requiring level 21 or above, and any combat technique to be cultivated to the third layer!"

"The Sword Immortal Guild recruits people, and it requires level 10 or above!"

……

Passing by the guild square, Lu Qingfeng saw a crowd of people.

Many guilds are constantly screening and absorbing newcomers, and there are countless newcomers who choose the guild that suits them here.

"In Flood Wilderness, the aborigines and the players, as well as the descendants of the players in the game, have long been mixed and indistinguishable on the surface. The same goes for the town of Black Sand. ”

"It's just that the population base in the Human Federation is huge, and there are teenagers who have reached the age of sixteen all the time and have been able to join the "Flood Wilderness" and become novice players."

"These novice players can go to shops and government offices to pick up tasks, or they can join major guilds to get starting resources."

Lu Qingfeng walked around Heisha Town for most of the day, and only then did he barely familiarize himself with half of Xicheng District. If you want to visit the entire Black Sand Town, it will take at least three to five days.

Heisha Town, named Town, is not small.

The urban area alone is forty or fifty miles longitudinal and horizontal. The permanent population of the town is more than 200,000, and the total population is at least 500,000 plus the surrounding villages of Heisha Town.

"At the beginning of "The Flood Wilderness", if there are seniors leading the way, let's not mention it for the time being. If you start alone, going out of the city to fight monsters and upgrade is the most preferred choice. Most of the average players choose to join the guild, or join the refining workshop, alchemy workshop, and talisman refining workshop as apprentices. ”

"In this way, you can not only obtain the initial basic exercises, but also earn a certain amount of cultivation resources, and you can also master a sub-profession, with multiple benefits, so it is naturally the first choice."

Lu Qingfeng came to the door of an alchemy workshop called 'Forget the Dust'.

The scale of the Forgotten Dust Alchemy Workshop is not large, and there is a notice posted in front of the door-

"The Forget Dust Alchemy Workshop recruits apprentices, and after the player signs the contract, he will give away a basic exercise for free, a basic alchemy method, five Huanglong Dan, and five Bigu Dan. One month after signing the contract, players are required to process a minimum of 10 basic medicinal materials for the Alchemy Workshop every day for one year. ”

The standards for recruiting apprentices in the major alchemy workshops and refining workshops in Heisha Town are similar, and they are specially prepared for novice players like Lu Qingfeng.

In layman's terms, it is a 'poverty alleviation project'.

Lu Qingfeng stood in front of the notice, and he didn't even see any of the people in charge of the Forgotten Dust Alchemy Workshop, so he signed a contract with the Forgotten Dust Alchemy Workshop.

After the contract was signed, the light of the notice board flickered, and two booklets, two jade bottles, and a bluestone talisman were thrown out and fell into Lu Qingfeng's hand.

Beside Lu Qingfeng, there were a few novices like him, and they all got the same things.

【Exercise: Burning Yang Sutra】

[Grade: Beginner, a total of 9 layers]

[Cultivation Requirements: None]

[Exercise characteristics: none]

……

[Cheats: The first solution of alchemy]

[Grade: Elementary]

[Note: The basic alchemy manual records the processing methods of forty-six kinds of medicinal materials]

……

【Pill: Huanglongdan】

[Grade: Low]

[Note: The acquired fetal breath realm cultivation elixir can slightly expand the internal breath]

……

【Pill: Bigu Dan】

[Grade: Low]

[Note: The acquired fetal rest is served, and the valley can be opened for six days]

……

[Equipment: Bluestone Talisman]

[Grade: Low]

[Note: It can be used by novice players for one year, and it contains a simple herb processing table; Bind, the ownership is the Forgotten Dust Alchemy Workshop, not tradable, and will be automatically recycled after one year]

……

"I'm worried that I have no place to cultivate."

Lu Qingfeng looked at the bluestone talisman. With this bluestone talisman, at least for the year since you entered the game, you don't have to worry about having no place to live and cultivate.

It's a pity that the bluestone talisman can't be used outside Heisha Town, and it will be taken back by the alchemy workshop after a year, otherwise it is necessary to go out and walk at home.

Put away the bluestone talisman, Lu Qingfeng took out the "Burning Sun Sutra" and the "First Solution of Alchemy".

Both are elementary.

According to the introduction of the level of exercises, the primary exercises can be practiced up to the foundation building period.

The "Burning Sun Sutra" provided free of charge by the Forget Dust Alchemy Workshop is even more garbage in the primary exercises, and it can only be practiced to the peak of the acquired fetal breathing realm.

"The day after tomorrow is divided into the fetal breath realm and the true qi realm. Breaking through the True Qi Realm in order to be promoted to the foundation building period is still very far away for me. At present, "The Burning Sun Sutra" is also suitable. ”

Lu Qingfeng grabbed the "Yanyang Sutra", clapped his hands, and a large amount of information poured into his mind, remembering it forever like an imprint. Then, Lu Qingfeng slapped "The First Solution of Alchemy" again, and dozens of processing techniques and essences about medicinal materials filled his mind.

……

Black Sand Town.

Bluestone runes.

Lu Qingfeng was hungry in his stomach, took a pill of Bigu Pill, and began his first cultivation.

The "Burning Sun Sutra" is only the lowest level of the primary exercises, and it is divided into nine layers. If you practice to the ninth layer, you will be able to reach the ninth level of the acquired fetal breath.

"I don't know what level this exercise belongs to in the Returning to Truth Sect, and whether it is comparable to the Returning to Truth Exercise."

Lu Qingfeng couldn't help but think.

The Guizhen Sect commanded tens of thousands of people in Jiuzhai County, and the masters of the sect were even known as immortals.

But after all, it's just a Jianghu sect.

And although Lu Qingfeng's exercises were obtained from "The Flood Wilderness", they were free gifts, and they were definitely not precious.

It's really hard to say which one is great, "Yanyang Sutra" or "Returning to Truth".

Lu Qingfeng planned to wait for this time to go offline, and then he would study whether he could include the true return skills recorded on the bark to the attribute panel.

At the moment, it is more important to practice.

In "The Flood", there are two ways to improve your cultivation and level.

The first way is to cultivate.

Whether it's meditating on luck or swallowing a panacea, it belongs to the first category.

The second is the traditional monster fighting upgrade.

In "The Flood", there are fierce beasts left over from the second tribulation. By slaying these beasts, you can gain experience, which can improve your cultivation and level.

The first is steady, but slow. The second is dangerous, but it levels up quickly.

However, the vast majority of players will choose the first option in the early stage. Because once you die in "The Flood", there are only two options: reincarnation, reconstruction, and resurrection.

Needless to say, reincarnation and recultivation are equivalent to deleting the number and starting over.

In addition to practicing various exercises and learning various skills that cannot be erased in my mind, cultivation is directly carried out to the end, and all kinds of techniques and supernatural powers that need time to polish must be restarted.

It's not just a sixteen-year-old body.

Instead, it starts cultivating from infancy, and it takes a full sixteen years before you can get out of the reincarnation pool and start cultivating again.

Even if a novice dies, it will take sixteen years.

The cost is huge, you can imagine.

The life of the players in "Flood Wilderness" also has an end in reality. If you can't break through your cultivation to a certain level before the arrival of the longevity limit, thereby increasing your longevity and leading to real death, then you will have to truly "reincarnate".

As for the resurrection option.

When the player dies, they can choose to resurrect directly in the Reincarnation Pool.

In addition to paying the corresponding price according to one's own cultivation, the level will also drop from five to fifty levels. The point is that every time you die, your foundation is damaged.

Unless there is a panacea to bridge the foundation, it will be even more difficult to advance in the future.

Therefore, the choice of reincarnation or direct resurrection is a matter of the benevolent and the wise.

Of course, if it is not necessary, most players are still willing to take penance or take drugs to improve their cultivation, and will not choose the extremely dangerous monster killing leveling.

At this moment, Lu Qingfeng has no magical powers, and he can't use the talisman, so he can only choose to meditate honestly and upgrade.

"The Burning Sun Sutra!"

Lu Qingfeng's mind about the mysterious flow of the "Yanyang Sutra".

The inexplicable sense of qi in the body looms, making people unpredictable and ungraspable.

In reality, according to what Lu Qingshan learned from the Guizhen Sect, the first level of the Guizhen Gong is to comprehend the fetal breath, give birth to the sense of qi, and refine the internal breath.

This process can be achieved in a few days if you are highly talented, and it is possible in a few months or years if you are generally talented. There are also those who are extremely low-talented, and they can't capture the sense of qi in their lifetime.

It is commonly known as 'waste wood'.

Lu Qingfeng was twelve to fifteen years old, and he was inspected by the people sent by the Guizhen Sect every year for his cultivation qualifications, but he couldn't even meet the qualifications of miscellaneous disciples, which was the last one.

This is evidenced by the 'Root: 1' on the Properties panel.

As for Lu Qingshan, it is the second type, with average talent. In a few months or years, you can get started.

Entering "The Flood Wilderness", Lu Qingfeng's qualifications do not seem to have improved.

After sitting cross-legged in the bluestone talisman for half an hour, the qi in Lu Qingfeng's body was always looming and could not be grasped.

"It looks like I'm going to have to take drugs."

Lu Qingfeng was helpless, got up and moved his sour body, and only after making tea and kung fu did he continue to cultivate.

This time, he took out one of the five Yellow Dragon Pills given by the Forgotten Dust Alchemy Workshop and swallowed it.

Immediately silently transported the "Yanyang Sutra" and refined the medicinal power.

The medicinal power of Huanglong Pill is amazing, as soon as it enters the abdomen, it suddenly turns into a warm stream and disperses into the limbs and hundreds of remains, and there is a feeling of fluttering like a fairy.

Time passes.

I don't know how long it took, the medicinal power subsided, and Lu Qingfeng slowly opened his eyes, a little stunned.

"One pill of Huanglong Pill is not enough!"

Lu Qingfeng's qualifications are really poor, and he can be called the 'Huanglong Pill' who cultivates the holy medicine in the early stage of fetal breath, but he actually failed to make him comprehend the sense of qi.

Lu Qingfeng adjusted his mentality, got up and walked around for a while, and then took another pill.

Huanglongdan entered the abdomen, and I don't know how long it took, the effect of the medicine passed again, but it still failed to catch the hazy feeling.

"Come again!"

Lu Qingfeng was not discouraged.

If you can't comprehend the sense of qi with the help of Huanglong Dan in the game, wouldn't it be hopeless to return to reality?!

The third grain!

The fourth grain!

The efficacy of Huanglongdan is true after all.

After taking four pills of Huanglong Pill in a row, Lu Qingfeng suddenly felt blessed to his soul, and a hazy sense of qi was captured, and the qi sensation suddenly appeared, and the pure medicinal power dissolved, giving birth to the first wisp of internal breath.

The internal breath turned in an instant, devouring the medicinal power and stabilizing at the same time.

[Congratulations to the player for cultivating to the first level of the acquired fetal breath realm, the level has been raised to level 1, and the first layer of the "Burning Sun Sutra" has been upgraded to the entry. 】

Lu Qingfeng opened his eyes, and a golden system prompt appeared in front of him.

"Upgraded."

Lu Qingfeng was stunned for a moment, and in an instant, various online games and mini-games he had played in his previous life came to his mind.

It has been sixteen years since he was reborn in another world, and he lives in the depressive Black Wood Village, his personality has long become silent and gloomy, and most of the memories of various past lives are buried deep in his heart.

This time it was suddenly aroused, and it was mixed for a while.

What's more important is that with this experience of comprehending the sense of qi, there is the possibility of cultivation in reality, and there is an extraordinary hope.

Get rid of distractions and bring up the properties panel——

Name: Qingfeng Lu

Race: Human

Faction: None

Title: None

Cultivation is: The acquired fetal rest realm is heavy

Level: Level 1 (0/5)

Inner interest: 1/1 (Quality: Elementary)

Shou Yuan: 16/68

Exercises: The first layer of the Huang Ting Jing (not started) [Characteristics: Derivation (one layer); Dominating the Laws (1st floor); Karmic Elimination (1st Layer]; The first layer of the Yanyang Sutra (entry) [can be derived];

Spell: None

Avatar: None

Equipment: None

Alchemy: "The First Solution of Alchemy" (not introduced) [can be derived]

The properties panel has not changed much.

In addition to the foreseeable changes in cultivation and level, there is also an additional column of internal breath. And after "Yanyang Sutra" and "The First Solution of Alchemy", the words "can be deduced" also appeared.

"Derivation?"

"Could it be the derivative characteristics of the Huang Ting Jing?"

Lu Qingfeng thought of it for the first time.

Without too much speculation, Lu Qingfeng directly clicked on the word [deducible] behind the "Yanyang Sutra".

[Do you consume 1 experience point to derive the "Burning Sun Sutra"?] 】

[Note: The player's current level has 0 reserve experience points, and if you want to deduce, your level will drop to 0.] 】

"Derivation consumes experience points, and if the reserve experience points are insufficient, it will also cause the level to drop."

Lu Qingfeng summarized the information, and then clicked on the word [deducible] behind "The First Solution of Alchemy".

[Does it consume 1 experience point to derive the "First Solution of Alchemy"?] 】

[Note: The player's current level has 0 reserve experience points, and if you want to deduce, your level will drop to 0.] 】

The information is the same.

Lu Qingfeng thought about it and didn't choose to derive.

The Huanglong Pill was of great benefit to the cultivation of the Fetal Breath Realm, and it was more precious in the early stage, and Lu Qingfeng could not afford to waste it.

If he fell back because of Tuiyan, he was not sure that he would be able to cultivate on his own in a short period of time. Second, there was no more Huanglong Pill for him to consume.

Sitting down cross-legged, Lu Qingfeng continued to practice the "Burning Sun Sutra".

He took four pills of Huanglong Pill before he was born with a sense of qi and was promoted to a heavy fetal breath realm. There are still most of the medicinal powers in the body that have not been refined, and if they are not cultivated in time, a small number of these medicinal powers will sink into the body and be difficult to excavate.

The other part will escape through the body and be wasted.

Meditation and practice, the effect of Huanglongdan is indeed not weak.

I don't know how long it took, Lu Qingfeng finally refined all the medicinal power that could be discovered in his body.

Level 1 also has 4 XP points, and it will soon be able to level up again.

"Take 2 XP and try the Derivation Effect."

Lu Qingfeng opened his eyes and first began to deduce the "Burning Sun Sutra".

[Do you consume 1 experience point to derive the "Burning Sun Sutra"?] 】

"Yes."

Lu Qingfeng pondered silently.

["The Burning Sun Sutra" is being derived——]

“……”

Experience points were consumed, and a golden system prompt box popped up in front of Lu Qingfeng's eyes, and then there was no follow-up. On the attribute panel, the words [can be derived] after "Yanyang Sutra" have also become "deducing].

"Not enough experience points, or is the derivation speed too slow?"

Lu Qingfeng was confused.

"Try "The First Solution of Alchemy".

[Does it consume 1 experience point to derive the "First Solution of Alchemy"?] 】

"Yes."

["The First Solution of Alchemy" is being derived——]

Like the "Burning Sun Sutra", "The First Solution of Alchemy" is stuck in the derivation.

"It's—"

Lu Qingfeng thought about it, and when he touched the word [Derivation], a stream of information immediately came-

[In the derivation of "Burning Sun Sutra", the required experience value is 1/10]

[In the derivation of "The First Solution of Alchemy", the required experience value is 1/10]

"It turned out that the experience value invested was insufficient."

Lu Qingfeng was stunned.

In this way, he was curious about what the "Burning Sun Sutra" and "The First Solution of Alchemy" could become after investing enough experience points. However, Lu Qingfeng's current experience points all over his body are not enough to deduce one of them.

can only put it down temporarily and silently withdraw from "The Flood".
