Chapter 4 Cultivation

In the evening, the afterglow of the setting sun shines through the paper window into Zhouzhen's room.

At this time, Zhou Zhen was sitting cross-legged on the bed, closing his eyes tightly and adjusting his breathing.

"Quenching Eightfold ......"

Sensing the refining qi in his body, Zhou Zhen muttered to himself.

After the battle with the Lin family, Zhou Zhen has made some progress, and has reached the strength of the eightfold quenching body.

The cultivation of Qi refining, quenching the body is the stage of integrating and adapting to the body's muscles, bones, meridians and Qi refining, this stage is particularly important, if there is some major damage to the muscles, bones, and meridians during the period, it may delay the speed of integration and adaptation with Qi refining, this delay, I am afraid it will reach years or even decades, some are not very lucky, maybe this life will have nothing to do with the martial artist.

Therefore, countless cultivators were eager to pass through this period as soon as possible. However, there is no shortcut to the level of quenching, only your own hard work and talent can improve your strength.

In the process of quenching the body, although you can use Qi refining to refine your body, you can't use it to fight with people, and you can only use Qi refining to fight when you break through the Nine Layers of Quenching and generate a cyclone that stores Qi refining in your body and become a real martial artist.

"It's time to try your hand at some alchemy......"

During the quenching period, you can't use qi refining to fight, but you can already practice alchemy, but because the alchemy that can provide quenching cultivators to cultivate is generally of a low level, it is basically just some hand-to-hand alchemy.

The level of this alchemy is roughly divided into four levels: feather, palace, earth, and heaven. The feathers are low, and the sky is high. Each level is divided into upper, middle and lower three.

The cultivation of alchemy is of great help in battle, and if two sides of the same strength fight, alchemy cultivators with better levels will have the upper hand. On the weaker side, if you have a higher level of alchemy, you can be invincible in battle, and if you have more than two percent higher alchemy than the opponent, you can even make up for the weakness of qi refining and cultivation, and defeat the strong with the weak!

Of course, high-level alchemy is very rare, and even the Zhou family, one of the three major families in Xicheng on this day, has the highest level of alchemy, which is probably only about the palace level.

Zhou Zhen walked out of the door and walked towards the family scripture pavilion.

More than ten minutes later, a pavilion with a slightly ancient atmosphere appeared in front of me.

Although the Zhou family had just experienced the war, there was no loss in this scripture pavilion.

Zhou Zhen walked straight to the pavilion, and there were family soldiers guarding the entrance of the pavilion and around it, these soldiers were all the top masters in the family, and they were also carefully selected loyal people. In order to guard the Scripture Pavilion, it also shows the importance of the things in this pavilion to the Zhou family.

"Third Young Master!"

Seeing Zhou Zhen coming, the soldiers greeted in unison.

Zhou Zhen's father is the head of the Zhou family, and his status is also quite high. And on weekdays, Zhou Zhen treats them these family soldiers very well, the family soldiers are talking about some stories when they once went into battle with real knives and guns, and Zhou Zhen on the side listened very happily, and sometimes even ate and slept with the soldiers in order to listen to these stories, without the slightest young master's shelf, which also made the soldiers have a very good relationship with Zhou Zhen.

"Well, hard work!" Hearing the greetings of the soldiers, Zhou Zhen also responded with a smile.

......

Entering the pavilion, Zhou Zhen began to look for his favorite alchemy.

"That's the Third Young Master Zhou Zhen who has cultivated for less than a year and has reached the seventh level of quenching body, why is he dressed so ordinary?"

"yes, it's not like the patriarch's son. ”

"Still, he looks pretty handsome, hehe. ”

......

Looking at the young man who walked in in a dashing manner, the disciples of the clan who selected alchemy in the pavilion also began to gossip.

For the disciples of the clan who like gossip, Zhou Zhen was also helpless, so he didn't pay attention to it anymore.

After searching for half an hour, there was still no alchemy that attracted him, so he wanted to go to the second floor and continue to search.

As soon as Zhou Zhen walked up to the second floor, he saw a middle-aged man in a black robe, this man was tall and strong, and his face was full of the word kind. A middle-aged man in a black robe was saying something to the old man on the side. This middle-aged man in black robe is Zhou Zhen's father, Zhou Tian.

"Father, you're there too. ”

Seeing that his father was also in the pavilion, Zhou Zhen went over to say hello. After seeing Zhou Zhen again, Zhou Tian sent Lao Tzu away on the side.

"Well, come over and tell something. What's the matter? Did you really come to the pavilion to practice alchemy?"

"Well, now that I'm also a quenching eightfold, I want to come over and try my hand at alchemy, but I haven't found ...... yet."

"Oh? Yae, ......"

Hearing this, Zhou Tian thought for a moment.

"Zhen'er, come with me. ”

Seeing this, Zhou Zhen didn't ask much, and followed with his feet.

The two walked in the attic for about three minutes before stopping.

In front of the two of them was a huge wooden door. Zhou Tian stretched out one hand, and a strong refining qi slowly flowed out, turning into a Dao rune and imprinting on the wooden door.

"Squeak. ”

Under the effect of the sigil, the heavy wooden door slowly opened, and the creaking sound spread, and a dusty breath came to the face.

Zhou Zhen was behind his father, sensing the latter's strong refining qi, and his face was full of envy. Zhou Tian's strength is at the Wushen level, and this kind of strength is already a first-class powerhouse in Tianxi City, but it is not something that a martial artist can match.

And the so-called martial artist, the level of the martial artist who is directly in Wushen, and when he reaches the level of martial artist, after the majesty of qi refining reaches a certain realm, he can cultivate the refining chapter.

Refining the chapter is a chapter that every martial artist will practice after breaking through and entering the martial arts, and a person can only practice one kind of refining chapter in a period. If you cultivate a refining chapter that is not suitable, you can also replace it, but changing the refining chapter is equivalent to extracting all the refining qi in the body, then practicing the new refining chapter, and then using the new refining chapter to refine the refining qi and storing it in the body, the process is extremely cumbersome and dangerous.

Because, extracting all the refining qi out of the body will make the body's muscles, bones and meridians extremely weak, and if you don't get it right, you will fall down, and the process of changing the refining chapter is also quite weak, and there is basically no combat effectiveness at all, if you meet the enemy at this time, the consequences can be imagined.

Although there are many drawbacks, every martial artist will rush to cultivate.

If it is said that cultivating alchemy can improve the combat power, then cultivating the alchemy can improve the overall combat effectiveness, that is, the continuity of battle. Not only that, but cultivating a high-level alchemy can also speed up the speed of refining and refining qi in the daily cultivation of qi refining! Even when breaking through the threshold, the success rate of breaking through can be increased! This is an indescribable temptation for every cultivator! From a certain point of view, refining a chapter is one point higher than alchemy!

Like alchemy, there are also four levels of alchemy, including feather, palace, earth, and heaven, and each level is divided into three percent. The refining chapter practiced by Zhou Tian is called "Black Water Chapter Method", and it is completed at the palace level. Although it is only a palace-level achievement, the boat has been in the West City for decades, relying on this "Black Water Chapter".

"Come in. ”

Zhou Tian walked into the room, waved his hand to Zhou Zhen behind him, and said.

"This is the most elite alchemy in the second layer, pick it. ”

Zhou Zhen looked at the rows of alchemy around him, and some stars twinkled in his eyes.

This room is full of alchemy above the feather level!

Even if you pick out a random copy and take it to the auction house, you can discharge hundreds or even thousands of gold coins! And here, it's just an ordinary thing! The three major families of Tianxi City really live up to their reputation!

Zhou Zhen walked to this row of alchemy, and picked up a copy casually.

"Water Shield, Feather Level"

There are some differences between the offensive type, the defensive type and the comprehensive type of alchemy, and this water shield should be the defensive type of alchemy formed at the feather level.

Zhou Zhen glanced at it twice, and then put it down, obviously, he was not very interested in this water pole cover.

Subsequently, Zhou Zhen picked a few more things, all of which were the same as the former.

"Nebula Palm, Feather Level"

"Open the mountain boxing, feather level is down"

"This kid, these alchemy techniques are all sought-after goods outside, but they are still out of his eyes. ”

Zhou Tian was on the side, watching Zhou Zhen pick it up and put it down, and he laughed and scolded helplessly.

Zhou Zhen kept repeating the movements, and after a few minutes, he stopped looking at noon.

"Eight Immortals, Palace-level Success"

"Eight Immortals Duel? It sounds good, but I don't know how practical it is. ”

Zhou Zhen's heart turned, and he couldn't help but look at the "Eight Immortals" twice, a little entangled, but finally put it down.

Just when Zhou Zhen put down the "Eight Immortals Decision" and turned to leave, the soul in his body did suddenly tremble, and his eyes turned to the "Eight Immortals Decision" uncontrollably, strictly speaking, it was another alchemy under the Eight Immortals Decision!

The soul gradually stabilized, but the shock in Zhou Zhen's heart did not disappear, he knew his soul quite well.

After the two souls in the body were fused, the power contained in them was extremely powerful, and now, some of the alchemy techniques were so powerful that they made their souls tremble before they saw them? This is the first time since the soul fusion!

After facing such a performance of his soul, Zhou Zhen couldn't help but be shocked and curious, stretched out one hand, and took out the alchemy under the Eight Immortals, and took a look.

"Storm Wrath"

"Huh? no, what about the rank, and the name is so weird?"

Looking at Zhou Zhen with a puzzled face, Zhou Tian also walked over, took the "Wind God Fury" in his hand, and took a look.

"This is what your grandfather got from the mainland in his early years, and when I was your age, I was a little interested in this "Wind God Fury", but I have never been able to understand it. ”

"Later, I wanted to sell it, but your grandfather said that the competition was very extraordinary, and it was not allowed to be sold, and even set up a family rule for the competition. In the past few decades, no one in the clan has ever cultivated successfully, and the competition has been forgotten. ”

Hearing his father say this, the curiosity on Zhou Zhen's face became even worse, obviously, Zhou Zhen was not small interested in "Wind God Fury".

"What, tempted?"

"Hmm. ”

Zhou Tian originally wanted to persuade him to give up, but he didn't expect that when he said this, he made him more interested.

"Haha, I originally wanted to persuade you not to cultivate, but I didn't expect it...... Alas, since you are interested, the Father will not hinder you. ”

"In this way, you take this "Eight Immortals Duel" as well, after all, this city test is close at hand, and this "Wind God Fury" is extremely difficult to cultivate, so it's always good to have more insurance. ”

"Well, good. ”

Zhou Zhen also understands that there is still a month to go before the city test, and what he has mastered is only some close hand-to-hand combat feather-level alchemy, in case this "Wind God Fury" is not successful in cultivation, then the "Eight Immortals Duel" is the backing, no matter what, this city test, he must take it!

After seeing Zhou Zhen's lightness, Zhou Tian nodded, and then the two left one after the other.

When I returned, it was late at night. Zhou's backyard......

Under a big tree, the boat was really in a daze at the "Eight Immortals" and "Wind God Fury".

"Uh...... Let's practice this first. ”

After pondering for a moment, Zhou Zhen put away the "Eight Immortals Duel".

Zhou Zhen sat cross-legged, his palm lightly resting on the "Wind God Fury", and then, opened the latter......

Just turned on the "Wind God Fury" about twenty or thirty degrees, the originally calm backyard of the Zhou family, suddenly a violent wind burst out, and the rolling air flow formed an air vortex in the air above the "Wind God Fury", and countless restless air currents rushed into the "Wind God Fury".

As the air flow poured in, the body of the "Wind God Fury" book emitted a slight white light, and it seemed that the sound of the wind roaring could still be heard coming from it.

The influx of air flowed for about ten minutes before finally stopping, and the white light gradually faded before finally disappearing......

And the "Wind God Fury" is still calmly in the palm of Zhou Zhen's hand. The latter, whose hair has been extremely messy by the rolling air current, and is mixed with a few dead leaves, at first glance, looks like a vagabond, embarrassed, quite happy.

"Uh...... I think I'd better find a more spacious place to practice......"
