Chapter 9 The second layer of gas refining

Lu Yu only stayed in the Hundred Treasure Pavilion for more than ten minutes, and although he didn't get much information, he also had a general understanding of the world of monks.

That is, monks are really not something that ordinary people can play! It's like the sports cars and watches that the rich like in the Overworld, and ordinary people still have a good time.

At dusk, Lu Yu finally found an inn and spent twenty wen to live in a local character room.

This price is not expensive, compared to the price of two dishes and a pot of wine and a meal at night, as high as 50 yuan, this accommodation fee is negligible.

Lu Yu was not worried about the deflated wallet, but was more concerned about the books he bought today.

"In April 305 of the Tianlan calendar, Emperor Taizu of the Great Sage raised troops in Liangzhou, with 150,000 soldiers and 1,000 generals, and captured 15 counties in 2 states within 7 days.

"In June 305 of the Tianlan calendar, Zhu Ming, the first fierce general under the command of Emperor Taizu of the Great Sage, encountered the main force of Qi with 10,000 troops and 50,000 main forces of Qi State, and after three days and three nights of fierce fighting, he defeated the main force of Qi State, captured more than a dozen marshals and generals of Qi State, and Zhu Ming became famous in one battle!"

“……”

"In September of the 307th year of the Tianlan calendar, Emperor Taizu of the Great Sage commanded 300,000 soldiers to Yanbei, and the soldiers occupied Yanbei without blood, and the capital was set in Yanbei in October of the same year, and the city of Yanbei was renamed Shangjing, and the whole world celebrated, amnesty the world, and all countries came to the court!"

“……”

"In February 308 of the Tianlan calendar, 500,000 cavalry of the tribes of Beidi went south, burning and looting all the way, the wolf smoke of the Great Sage Dynasty in the northern Xinjiang was everywhere, the Great Sage Taizu Emperor drove his own expedition, and the main force of Beidi 300,000 confronted the Hazi River for three months, during which the large and small battles were no less than 100 times, and the Beidi tribe coalition army was hit hard, in May, the Hazi River River water soared, and the prime minister of the Great Sage Dynasty He Huan offered a plan to flood the Beidi coalition army, drowned tens of thousands of Beidi coalition troops, and then sent troops to chase and kill the Beidi coalition army all the way, after this battle, the Beidi tribe did not dare to go south for decades and did not dare to go south half a step."

“……”

"In December of the 361st year of the Tianlan calendar, the first imperial examination began, and millions of students from all over the country gathered in Beijing!"

Lu Yu threw the "Great Sage Dynasty Chronicles" in his hand on the table, rubbed his somewhat sour eyes, and began to ponder in his heart.

The Great Sage Dynasty has gone through more than 2,000 years from the founding of the country to the present, and the recorded events have given Lu Yu a general understanding of the countries in this world, and at the same time, it has completely subverted Lu Yu's perception of this world.

There is not only one country in this world, the Great Sage Dynasty only occupies one-fifth of the land area of this world, but this area is equivalent to the total land area of the entire main world, which Lu Yu never thought of before.

There are more than 1,000 counties in the 7 provinces and 99 prefectures of the Great Sage Dynasty, with a population of more than 10 billion, and a territory area of more than 80,000 li long from north to south and more than 100,000 li wide from east to west.

Lu Yu remembered that Old Man Ding mentioned that Dingjia Village was more than 2,000 miles away from Shangjing, and it was one of the closest states to Beijing.

The origin of the Tianlan World originated from this continent, and as for how big this continent is, Lu Yu does not have a clear understanding at present.

But Lu Yu now knew that in addition to the Great Sage Dynasty on the Tianlan Continent, there were nearly a hundred large and small countries around it, and the population together was not much less than that of the Great Sage Dynasty.

The Great Sage Dynasty occupies the richest piece of land in the Tianlan Continent, which has led to frequent battles against the Great Sage Dynasty by neighboring countries, especially the nomadic tribes in the north, who are the number one opponents of the Great Sage Dynasty, harassing the borders of the Great Sage Dynasty almost every year.

Lu Yu took out the "Ten Thousand Beasts" of the Tianlan World and read it, and the records in it made Lu Yu's jaw drop, if Lu Yu hadn't crossed over to the Tianlan World, he would definitely think that this was a mythical story when he saw this book.

"Deer eagle, head with antlers, long forehead, sharp teeth, long tail, short legs, sound like a baby's cry, body with wings, like to eat babies!"

"Xuan tortoise, shaped like a strong ox, with a long neck, short jaws, and a snake tail, is good at hiding in deep pools, and its cry is like the sound of splitting wood, and the tortoise shell is extremely hard, and it can be used to make armor!"

“……”

Lu Yu's eyelids jumped, although the domestic animals he saw before were a little different from the main world, they were also within the scope of acceptance, but these monsters introduced in the "Ten Thousand Beasts" were no longer within the scope that Lu Yu could understand.

Fortunately, Lu Yu has a strong heart, and after graduation, he worked hard in the society for two years, unlike those young chicks who are still in school, Tianlan World brings more shock and mystery to Lu Yu.

In the past, such as "Romance of the Gods", "Journey to the West" and "Classic of Mountains and Seas", etc., were also leisure reading materials for Lu Yu after dinner, strictly speaking, he still had a certain ability to bear it.

Lu Yu finally took the books left by the unjust ghost, and now there are less than two months left before the triennial scientific examination of the Great Sage Dynasty, and he is not very confident that he can pass the scientific examination, but Lu Yu thought about it for a long time, and decided to give it a try.

Before going to sleep, Lu Yu practiced for a while, and now Lu Yu already has a little sense of aura, but after only half an hour of cultivation, the body's feeling of aura disappears, which is a reaction that the body can no longer accommodate more aura.

The first time of cultivation is to sense the aura, and then the process of absorbing the surrounding aura, which is both simple and mysterious.

Simply put, the cultivation process is to continuously absorb the aura, so that the aura contained in the body is more and more.

This process seems to be extremely simple, but it is extremely mysterious, for example, the current Lu Yu can only cultivate for half an hour a day, that is, he can only absorb half an hour of aura.

The aura that enters the body will not be fully absorbed by the body, and most of the aura inhaled is used to improve the cultivator's physique, such as the skin is more shiny and elastic, the muscles are more powerful, etc., and finally the aura is expelled from the body. The remaining aura will enter the cells in the cultivator's body, nourishing the body and raising the upper limit of the cell's ability to hold the aura.

The above are some of Lu Yu's understanding of the cultivator's Qi Refining Mirror!

In fact, according to the introduction of the incomplete cultivation method, cultivation is a process of merging monks and aura, a bit like people learning to swim, making people familiar with the water like fish, so that they can control aura.

The understanding is different, which does not hinder Lu Yu's understanding and knowledge of the cultivation of this world.

The relationship between monks and aura is really similar to the relationship between fish and water in some ways, the difference is that one is congenital and the other is acquired.

Lu Yu found that this kind of cultivation speed was too slow, Lu Yu didn't know the cultivation speed of other cultivators, but from his own understanding and observation, Lu Yu's Qi refining level 1 wanted to be promoted to the second layer, and the normal cultivation time would probably not be less than two years.

This probably really has something to do with the qualifications of each monk!

The next day, Lu Yu went out again and learned more about the county, and the rest of the time was to read books.

After reading the book, Lu Yu recorded his cultivation time with his watch, and found that today's cultivation time was a little longer than yesterday, and he inhaled a little more spiritual energy, which was not much different from Lu Yu's guess.

In order to confirm some conjectures in his heart, Lu Yu took a Qi Nourishing Pill and found that he could cultivate again, the time was extended to three times as before, and the aura he inhaled was naturally three times more, which was equivalent to increasing his cultivation speed by three times.

Increasing his cultivation speed by three times was of little significance to Lu Yu, and as soon as he thought of Lu Yin reaching the second layer of his own Qi refining, Lu Yu was eager to understand this world.

On the third day, Lu Yu still got up early, this is a habit developed in school, in college, although sometimes there is no class in the morning, those salted fish in the dormitory play very well at night, and they are there one by one in the morning, but they are often late for class, and a lot of credits are deducted during the roll call, and since then, Lu Yu has not slept lazy.

The county town is as lively as ever, yesterday and the day before yesterday, Lu Yu had already visited the southern district of the county, and today he is going to go to the northern district for a visit.

Lu Yu lives near the South City Gate, where the buildings are mainly single-family houses, and when he arrives in the North District, he finds that the buildings here are more magnificent and luxurious, and at first glance it is a place where rich people live.

The northern district is also much more lively than the southern district, and the pedestrians on the road are more glamorously dressed, even a bowl of noodles is more expensive for two or three cents, and Lu Yu is like a turtle in the countryside in the crowd.

Lu Yu walked aimlessly, looking east and west, stopping from time to time to pay attention to the conversations of the people around him, and continuing to walk forward if he didn't dare to be interested.

After two days of observation, Lu Yu found that in addition to the lack of electronic products and high-rise buildings, it was actually quite similar to some film and television cities in the main world, and if the cultivators were removed, Lu Yu would feel that he had returned to the ancient times of the main world.

Wine shops, teahouses, green houses, casinos, ......, Lu Yu even saw slave traders, everything he could think of could be seen here, if he didn't feel it personally, it was really hard to imagine that ancient life was equally colorful.

Lu Yu walked into a pawnshop, took out the crystal snowflake ball in his arms and put it on the counter and said, "I want to be this crystal ball, make a price!" ”

The pawnshop guy picked up the crystal ball and looked at it: "Live or die!" ”

"Die!"

Death means that he is not ready to redeem, Lu Yu has also been to several pawnshops before, and he feels that the prices given are too low.

"Twenty taels!" The pawnshop guy gave his own quote.

Lu Yu took back the crystal ball in his hand without hesitation, turned around and walked towards the door.

"Wait!"

An older man behind him who looked like a shopkeeper spoke: "Thirty taels at most, this is already the highest price!" ”

This price is five taels higher than the price Lu Yu asked before, and it is estimated that it can only be this price in this county, "Deal!" ”

Two minutes later, Lu Yu walked out of the pawnshop with three taels of gold in his arms, and the reason why he didn't ask for thirty taels of silver was because he didn't want to be slaughtered by the black-hearted Qian Zhuang afterwards.

Then Lu Yu changed to a pawnshop and sold a crystal ball again.

There are still a few such small gifts in Lu Yu's hand, but the bidders of the pawnshop are not high, and there is no good way to get rid of them for a while, so he continues to wander around the county to see if he can find business opportunities.

After returning to the inn in the evening, Lu Yu closed the door after eating and read books, and bought a few more books today, all of which were books such as notebooks and travelogues, until the system prompt sounded again in his mind before he put down the books in his hand.

"The task is completed, I have a preliminary understanding of the Tianlan world, reward a little skill point, keep up the good work, there are countless secrets in the Tianlan world waiting for the host to explore, when the more I understand the truth ......of the Tianlan world, the more I feel that I am insignificant."

"The mission is released, in-depth understanding of the unknown secrets of the Tianlan world, completely integrated into the Tianlan world, rewarded with five skill points, no penalty, and a time limit of three months!"

Lu Yu found that in the system panel, his skill points became 2, and one of the skill points was rewarded after he survived in the Tianlan World for 24 hours.

After getting the reward of one skill point for surviving in Tianlan World for 24 hours, Lu Yu originally wanted to use it to upgrade his qi refining level, but found that the '+' sign after the qi refining level did not appear, but there was still a '+' number behind the refining level, which meant that a little skill point could not be upgraded to the second layer of qi refining.

Now the '+' sign appears again after the qi refining level, which lets Lu Yu know that if he wants to continue to upgrade his level, the more skill points he needs in the future.

Lu Yu did not hesitate to use the two skills on the qi refining level, because with the lesson of the last time, this time Lu Yu was ready and lay down on the bed in advance.

Soon the familiar pain came again, Lu Yu's body curled up uncontrollably, beads of sweat the size of beans drilled out from every pore in his body, and his brain was still as clear as before, this feeling of pain was really not something that people should bear.

Time passed quickly, and when the pain subsided from Lu Yu's body, Lu Yu looked at the time on his watch, "thirty seconds", and felt that it was longer than a year.

After the pain, Lu Yu didn't want to do anything and fell asleep, and when he woke up, it was already the next morning.

Today is October 17th in the main world, Lu Yu needs to go back to attend the birthday party of his classmate Qin Wenyuan, but before that, Lu Yu first returned the room in the inn, not that Lu Yu was reluctant to pay for the room for these two days, but that he didn't want the shopkeeper in the store to suspect, because Lu Yu's current identity is a student who went to Beijing to take the exam, what is the matter with staying in the inn for a long time, which is also Lu Yu's consistent cautious style.
