Chapter 32: Physical and Spiritual Practice
There is only one day left until the Sunset City Lord's birthday banquet, and Sunset City has also lifted the curfew order tonight.
Tonight's Sunset City is particularly lively, with a quiet moonlight, shining like stars on the earth.
At this moment, Sunset City is full of brilliant lights, the streets are full of people, large and small taverns, teahouses are full of people, the hawkers' shouts, the shopkeeper's abacus, and the busy sound of the shopkeeper are endless.
Since the killer incident last night, Zhongli and Chongming Bird have left the Xuanguang Temple and come to the bustling market.
Originally, according to the plan of one person and one bird, they went to find Cao Chun on the day of the city lord's birthday banquet, but they didn't expect that they were targeted by the people of the city lord's mansion, and even attracted a killer.
With Chongmingniao's cautious personality, Zhongli thought that Chongmingniao would advise him to stay away from Sunset City, but he didn't expect that this time he would support him to stay here to find Cao Chun and find the truth.
Zhongli and Chongmingniao spent a day in the inn, only to find that there seemed to be no movement in Sunset City.
Originally, the yamen was clamoring to arrest the flower thief Cao Chun, and the Shadow Killer died, and no one came to look for them to take revenge.
Zhongli felt that all this was like the tranquility before the storm, it was too abnormal.
Originally, he thought that Cao Chun's matter was just friction between mortals, but he didn't expect that there were monks involved.
The monks in the mortal world are all people directly appointed by Yanji City, and the rules of Fengzhou are also directly set by Yanji City.
It was a clear rule that monks should not have interests with mortals, but now that Sunset City had violated the rules, Zhongli didn't believe that the monks in charge didn't know about it.
Then the only possibility is that the sitting monk is also involved, Zhongli can't figure out why, what else in the mortal world can impress the monk.
Zhongli opened the window once again to look at the disturbances under the bazaar, turned back to the Chongming bird on his shoulder and said, "Xiaohuo, all this is too unusual. ”
"If we go rashly tomorrow, maybe it will be a sheep in the tiger's mouth, and it is estimated that thousands of troops and horses are waiting for us in the city lord's mansion. ”
Zhongli returned to the bed and sat down, and he was not in the mood to cultivate at this time, after all, the heaven and earth aura mobilized by Zhongli was too huge, and cultivating in the bazaar was too eye-catching.
Chongming Bird thought for a moment, rolled his eyes, and said seriously: "What you said is good, but my generation of monks has been going against the sky, and how can we escape when we encounter difficulties." ”
"You should swim against the tide and conquer the thorns, so that I will teach you a set of spiritual techniques that can change your appearance and appearance, and they will not recognize it. ”
Zhongli was dumbfounded when he heard it, and Chongming Bird, who had always been cautious and timid, could actually say such a thing.
This can't help but remind him of the day when he deliberately let Cao Chun go and didn't let him catch up, is there really something boring?
However, when he heard that the Chongming Bird actually had spiritual skills to teach him, he was interested, and he didn't plan to break the casserole and ask in the end.
Chongming Bird's spiritual skills are still quite good, not combat spiritual skills, Zhongli naturally learned quickly, and he mastered the trick in an hour.
With a click of bones, Zhongli looked at himself in the bronze mirror and touched his cheek incredulously.
The originally delicate young man's face has become a big man's Chinese face, and his white and tender skin has become much darker, and even his height has increased a lot.
This is still himself, Zhongli himself can't recognize it, and said incredibly: "This spiritual skill is also amazing!"
Zhongli exclaimed, and found that even his voice had changed, no longer immature, just like the voice of a middle-aged man, it was heavy, and every byte was buzzing.
Seeing Zhongli's success, Chongming Bird flew around him, landed on his shoulder, and said with satisfaction: "The effect is good! I can't even recognize it." ”
Zhongli said happily as if he had discovered a new continent: "Xiaohuo, why didn't you teach me earlier, if you have such a good spiritual skill." ”
Chongming Bird explained, "Didn't I tell you before, the spiritual skills of our divine beasts are not available to you humans. ”
"This set of disguised spiritual skills is used to hide people's ears and eyes when we incarnate as humans, so you can learn it. ”
Zhongli understood, that is to say, when the ancestor of Chongming Bird incarnated as a human to walk, he changed a lot of natural skills so that the humanoid state could also be used to avoid being discovered.
"Hey, then according to what you say, when you incarnate as a human being, you can't fight with people, you can't use spiritual skills like the main body, use feathers to attack, and spit out three true fires like this. Zhongli asked suspiciously.
As he spoke, Zhongli's eyes lit up: "Isn't that still a spiritual skill that can be used when incarnating as a human." ”
Chongming Bird looked at Zhongli's eyes and said vigilantly, "No, if we turn into human beings, we will naturally be able to learn the spiritual skills created by you humans, so..."
Before Chongming Bird finished speaking, Zhongli interrupted with a grin, "Then you can teach me the human spiritual skills you have learned." ”
"If you don't teach me, I will only have three yellow-level low-level spiritual skills now, and if I really break into the City Lord's Mansion, if I fight, I won't have the ability to protect myself. ”
Chongmeitori pondered for a while, but finally compromised, sighed and said, "Okay. ”
"After a monk reaches the Lingwu realm, he has to choose a cultivation path, whether it is physical cultivation or spiritual cultivation, he can only choose one of them. ”
"Originally, I wanted to wait for you to wait for the Spirit Martial Realm to teach you more spiritual cultivation skills, but tomorrow it is indeed possible that there will be danger. I'll teach you another set of Thunder Trail steps. ”
Physical cultivation, as the name suggests, is to continuously cultivate one's own physique, and after completing the physical cultivation of the Mortal Martial Realm, he still uses spiritual power to refine his body when he reaches the Spiritual Martial Realm.
Constantly break through the limits of the human body, fight everything with the physical body, reach the realm of transcendent sanctification, and break through the subsequent realm with an incomparably powerful physical body.
Spiritual cultivation is to complete the basic physical refining of the mortal martial realm, and when you are in the spiritual martial realm, you will begin to use the spiritual energy into the body to temper the spiritual power, so that the degree and quality of your spiritual power refining will be higher, and the power of your spiritual skills will be more powerful.
Physical cultivation has given up refining spiritual power, so the power of the spiritual skills used is not as powerful as spiritual cultivation, but relying only on the physical body, it can be immune to most of the spiritual skill power, and without using spiritual skills, it can also explode faster and have greater killing power.
It's not that there are no monks who practice both, but if you cultivate two systems at the same time, it takes twice as much time, and you can't chew it out greedily, and the monks of the same period, you are still standing still, but others have already broken through a big realm.
"Your current physical body is already comparable to a ninth-order monk in the Spirit Martial Realm, and you have even resisted the blow of the Yuan Martial Realm Spirit Beast, but you have never broken through, I think your physical body has infinite possibilities for breakthroughs. ”
Chongming Bird continued: "I suggest that you choose physical cultivation in the future, so you don't need to learn too many spiritual skills, and you can achieve the integration of attack and defense just by relying on your physical body, and have extreme speed. ”
"But the purity of your innate spiritual power is amazing, and choosing spirituality can be extremely powerful. ”
"In short, no matter what you choose, you can't do both, otherwise you will definitely become a member of the mediocrity. ”
When Zhongli heard this, he couldn't help but think of the iron cable in his body that he saw when he broke through, that self-explosion, and after waking up, the broken organ was repaired, it should be its credit.
I have been cultivating for eight years and have been standing still at the eighth order of the Spirit Disciple Realm, and my spiritual power has not increased in the slightest, and it must be that mysterious iron cable that has continuously purified my spiritual power for myself, so the spiritual power in my body is scarce, so I can't break the mirror.
Zhongli suddenly realized, now he no longer hates, but is grateful for that iron cable, although he doesn't understand what it is, but now his strength, even being able to cross the border against the enemy, is inseparable from the credit of that iron cable.
Of course, this secret Zhongli never told anyone, including Chongming, who knew the story of Huaibi's guilt.
Throwing off the thoughts in his mind, Zhongli looked at the Chongming Bird on his shoulder and said with a smile: "No matter how you choose, now I am still in the Mortal Martial Realm, it is always right to learn more spiritual skills to save your life, you can teach me the Thunder Trace Step now." ”
It's just that Zhongli after the disguise is no longer the appearance of a young pheasant, and a middle-aged man said this kind of thing with a smile, which made Chongmingniao's small body tremble twice, and goosebumps arose.
The Thunder Trail Step, which is a superior footwork than the Wind Step, can instantly move rapidly, and even leave an afterimage in place, so as to confuse the enemy.
Chongming Bird originally thought that it would take Zhongli at least one night to master the Thunder Trace Step, but he didn't expect that Zhongli, who had incomparably pure spiritual power, would completely master the Thunder Trace Step in just two hours.
Seeing Zhongli's support of such pure spiritual power, Chongming Bird couldn't help but wonder, whether he was more suitable for physical cultivation or spiritual cultivation, it is estimated that when the time comes to make a choice, it will be extremely embarrassing.
