Chapter 2 Xiuwutang
The Qianmen is very large, and it occupies a whole mountain!
This mountain peak is also named after the word "Qian", verdant and lush, the scenery is beautiful, especially after the rain, it is empty and smart, exuding a fairy-like atmosphere, even in the southern region is a rare place to be stationed at the door.
With the strength of Qianmen in the entire Southern Regions now, such a treasure land will never be their turn, but when Qianmen was first established, it was still prosperous, and there were even strong people in the "Tongxuan Realm" in the gate, so they could take the lead.
Nowadays, within the Southern Regions, according to the strength of cultivation, there are "Martial Realm", "Condensation Realm", "Phantom Realm", and "Mysterious Realm", each realm has its own mysteries, and can be subdivided into six orders, the first order is the weakest, and the sixth order is the strongest!
A strong person is enough to start a sect and ensure that his own sect has prospered for a hundred years. It's a pity that after opening the patriarch, there has never been a stunning person in the Qianmen, so that it continues to decline, and the current head is just a phantom spirit realm cultivator.
Fang Chen's steps are brisk, if someone is interested in observing carefully, they will find that every step he takes is a light touch on the ground with his toes, his strength is concentrated on one point, and one step out is Zhang Xu.
This kind of footwork is called 'Xuanbu', which is not a mysterious exercise, but just an exercise of one's own coordination and tendon flexibility, which is known even to the outer disciples in the Qianmen.
However, the only one who can persist for three years without interruption is Fang Chen!
When he saw the pale cyan building not far away, Fang Chen slowed down, and Xiuwutang arrived.
Before Fang Chen could get closer, a whirlwind-like figure pounced and slammed into Fang Chen's chest. Fang Chen smiled and didn't dodge, let her hit it, and let out a strange "oops" in his mouth.
"Villain, you hurt me!" bumped into Fang Chen, but the figure "shouted" and touched his head in pain, and the wicked person sued first.
This is a little girl who has just turned twelve, just tall enough to reach Fang Chen's chest, the delicate pigtails tied on her head are delicately coiled up with a golden ribbon, her skin can be broken by blowing, and her two eyes are extraordinarily smart, like stars. Although the face is still a little childish, it can already glimpse a little bit of the charm of the city.
"You hit me just now!" Fang Chen looked aggrieved.
Grinding her jade-like teeth hatefully, Li Zhu knew that if she opened her mouth, she would lose 100%, she rolled her eyes and spread out her palms: "Bring it!"
"Take what?"
"Hmph! Villain!" Li Zhu pouted dissatisfiedly: "The blue bird you promised to catch me!"
"Want a blue bird?" Fang Chen snapped his fingers and said in a good time: "Call Brother Sheng to listen first." β
"Badstar!" Li Zhu jumped up beside him, "Ahh
"Hey, hey, hey, are you a puppy?" Fang Chen couldn't cry and laughed, and raised his arm and shook it. Li Zhu hung on it persistently, but he didn't let go. Looking at Li Zhu, who was leaning on himself like a puppy, Fang Chen reluctantly admitted defeat: "Yao, the blue bird you want." β
His sleeve shook, and a fist-sized bamboo cage slipped out.
As soon as she saw the bamboo cage, Li Zhu cheered, picked up the cage with joy on her face, carefully opened a small door, and stroked the green bird in the cage with her green fingers.
The bird suddenly pecked her finger, causing Li Zhu to scream "ahh
Looking at her smile, Fang Chen's heart surged with a warm current.
As if sensing Fang Chen's gaze, Li Zhu raised her head: "Villain!" When Fang Chen was about to get angry, she giggled and ran away, then turned her head and grimaced.
He made a gesture of knocking her head at her, causing her to scream and run away, and Fang Chen walked towards the Martial Arts Hall with a smile.
The Xiuwu Hall is not big, and the door is open for at most three people to enter side by side, but because of the existence of the "gas storage plate", this is a holy place in the hearts of all outer disciples.
"Old man Li, what delicious food are you hiding?"
An old man with white hair in the hall was sipping a glass of wine with a plate of nuts, and when he saw Fang Chen sitting down in front of him honestly and unceremoniously, he grabbed most of the nuts in the plate, and he was not angry, he smiled like an old fox: "The girl is pestering you again, right?"
"Your precious granddaughter is getting worse and worse!" Fang Chen pulled back his right sleeve with an angry face and complained: "Look at what she bit me into...... Well, although the tooth marks are a little lighter, this behavior is extremely bad!"
"Come on, you kid. Old man Li rolled his eyes: "Don't think that my old man doesn't know you original martial artists if you don't cultivate, if the girl can hurt you with her teeth, I will marry her to you immediately!"
"Stop, stop!" Fang Chen hurriedly stopped the old man and continued, since he met, Old Man Li has tirelessly "promoted" his granddaughter to himself, no matter what the topic can always be related to "made in heaven", "perfect pair" and so on.
After carefully looking at the old man's unusually neatly combed goatee and the smile that hung on the corner of his mouth, Fang Chen was speechless for a while: "Old man, I sometimes really wonder if Li Zhu is your own granddaughter!"
"It's like a fake!" Old man Li dispelled his suspicions sternly: "Apart from my old man, who can have such a smart, cute, well-behaved and obedient granddaughter?"
"Well-behaved and obedient?" Fang Chen looked suspicious: "Are you sure you're talking about your granddaughter?"
"Well, it's still very well-behaved occasionally. Old man Li laughed, and then he went back to the topic: "Anyway, if you kid dare to abandon Zhu'er in the future, my old man will not be finished with you!"
Fang Chen didn't even have the strength to stare at him, a little girl who was only twelve years old, this old man was thinking about stuffing her to others all day long, it was really unscrupulous.
At this time, a gray-robed young man walked in outside the Xiuwu Hall, and he bowed his head to Old Man Li with a little flattery: "Old Li, is anyone using the gas storage plate now?"
Old man Li accepted the "benefits" he handed over without changing his face, secretly weighed the weight, and then signaled behind him: "There is no one inside, you can go in by yourself, remember to add the star stone." β
"Okay. The gray-robed young man looked excited: "I understand the rules. β
Watching the gray-robed young man walk into the inner room, Fang Chen didn't pay much attention to it, he had seen more about this kind of thing, and continued to quarrel with Old Man Li.
About half an hour later, Old Man Li got up and knocked on the door of the inner room: "It's time, come out." β
After urging a few more times, the gray-robed young man reluctantly opened the door, and he complained: "Elder Li, it's only been such a little time, can't you be more tolerant?
Old man Li completely lost his kindness when facing Fang Chen, and said impatiently: "This is the rule set by the sect, if you have any opinions, you can go to the head of the sect to react." β
The gray-robed young man immediately stopped talking, where are these lowest-ranking outer sect disciples qualified to meet the master? Even the old man Li in front of them did not dare to offend easily, otherwise, it would not be so easy to use the gas storage disk next time.
After the gray-robed young man left, Fang Chen walked into the inner room with Old Man Li.
The inner chamber is half a foot long and half a foot wide, and it is very cramped, and you need to bend down to enter, otherwise it is easy to hit the top of your head.
On the ground there is a disc-shaped object with a diameter of two zhang. There are thirteen deep inscriptions on the surface of the disc, and in the middle of each circle there are tadpole-like symbols arranged in strange regularities, and after looking at them for a long time, those symbols seem to come to life, giving people the illusion of swimming.
Accumulator disc!
A human-level high-grade element!
Rao had used it many times, but Fang Chen still couldn't help but feel a little excited, and a scorching heat appeared in his eyes!
The reason why so many people come to sign up every time the Qianmen recruits disciples is one of the important reasons.
With it, the promotion time required in the Martial Arts Realm can be greatly shortened, and two people with the same qualifications, with the assistance of the Qi Accumulation Disk, can cultivate twice as fast as they can alone!
The extra time allows the original warrior to have more time to practice lethal combat skills, complete tasks to earn star stones, and have more opportunities to try different possible surnames......
It can be said that the gas storage disk changed the fate of a former warrior!
Because of this, the "refiners" who can refine the gas storage plate or other elemental artifacts have a supreme position in today's world! Even the high-ranking Xuanxuan powerhouses often have to ask for the refiners.
Therefore, Gu Yuqing enjoys a very high status in Qianmen, although she is only a human-level low-grade refiner now, but considering her age, who dares to say that she will not be able to go further in the future?
Smiling bitterly slightly, Fang Chen left behind the complicated thoughts in his mind, he knew that it was too illusory to think about refining masters and the like now, and the top priority was to improve his cultivation as soon as possible.
Old man Li bent down, groped a few hands in the lower right corner of the gas storage plate and disk, opened a dark grid, and took out a palm-sized spar from it.
The surface of the spar is weathered, with many concave holes, and the color is also gray.
"Alas, it's almost used again, and it seems that this time there is not much to gain. β
With a sigh in his mouth, Old Man Li stretched out his hand and twisted it towards the surface of the spar, and the gray stone rocks were sprinkled one after another. As the last layer is peeled off, the innermost layer is revealed.
This layer is no longer so gray, but glows with a faint silver light, like a mirror, stabbing people's eyes slightly.
Carefully took out a cloth bag from his sleeve, and the cloth bag fell towards the dark grid, and silver crystals of various sizes rolled down from it, and then put the crystal he had just taken off in his hand inside, and finally stuffed the dark grid.
Old man Li clapped his palms and said, "Boy, cultivate hard." β
Watching the old man use his focused expression of finding gold in the sand to select the star stones that could still be used, Fang Chen felt that the tip of his nose was a little sour, these silver crystals were called "Star Stones", whether it was refining the Yuan Weapon or using some special Yuan Tools, such as the Qi Storage Disk, they needed to be used.
Therefore, compared to the currencies used by ordinary people such as gold and silver coins, star stones are the real hard currency!
"Old man, you don't have to do this in the future. Fang Chen's voice was a little low: "I recently found an amethyst that can be exchanged for some star stones. β
"Alright. Old man Li stopped him and said, "Even if you have the star stone that Amethyst exchanged, can you support your cultivation a few times? β
Fang Chen watched Old Man Li walk out of the inner room with a wry smile, knowing that he didn't want to have a psychological burden, so he deliberately threw out this clichΓ© topic.
Looking down at the gas storage tray in front of him, Fang Chen's eyes were a little moist:
Three years ago, his dantian was broken and almost abandoned by everyone, and at that moment, the whole world was gloomy.
At this time, it was Old Man Li who used this special way to save up the star stones little by little, helping him re-cultivate to the fourth order of the Liwu Realm.
This kindness is like re-creation!
Closing his eyes and concentrating, the agitated mood calmed down, Fang Chen is not a person who likes to put the word "thanks" on his lips, for him, well, he must repay it with practical actions!
......
Accumulator disc!
Strands of energy extracted from the star stone were transformed into white mist, turning the entire inner chamber into a fairyland.
Fang Chen's heart is like a mirror, his breath is stored between what is and what is not, and the torrent of energy enters the subtle meridians through the pores.
Hara!
If anyone can see it, I'm afraid they will be shocked and unspeakable, Fang Chen's dantian doesn't even have a single meridian!
The world under their feet is vast and boundless, with hundreds of ethnic groups and strong people, and there are all kinds of unimaginable mysteries, which is called "Tianchen Realm".
Although the Qianmen is large, it is equivalent to a gravel-like existence in the entire Tianchen Realm. Even within the Southern Regions to which it belongs, the Qianmen Sect cannot be regarded as a top-notch sect, at best it is only second-rate, and there are still many sects like it.
Even the Southern Regions are just a "domain" within the Tianchen Realm, and there are many other "domains". As far as Fang Chen knows, there is a "Northern Regions" similar to it. It is rumored that there are more powerhouses in the Northern Regions, and even the top powerhouses in the Southern Regions cannot be found in the Daluo Sect.
In the Tianchen Realm, there are hundreds of millions of people, and only one-tenth of them have the talent for cultivation. And if you want to cultivate, the first condition is to have a complete dantian!
I had never heard of someone whose dantian was broken, but who was able to cultivate true qi, but such a strange thing happened to Fang Chen.
Fang Chen's body was like a rock that existed forever, firmly fixed in a space, unshakable.
All the absorbed energy formed a circle around his body, a complete circle, and the vaguely Chinese side seemed to shrink, turning into an extremely thin but extremely condensed point, and around this "point" there were two halos of qi, like a galaxy spinning.
Absorbing the vitality of heaven and earth and turning it into 'true qi' and storing it in the dantian is for the "realm of strength and martial arts"! In this realm, the strength of cultivation is measured entirely by the amount of true qi stored.
Naturally, the role of 'combat skills' also needs to be taken into account in actual combat.
The so-called combat skills refer to some techniques that allow martial artists to better exert their own cultivation, which can be divided into two categories: 'ordinary combat skills' and 'elemental combat skills'. Ordinary combat skills are mainly used in the Martial Realm, and when you ascend to the Condensing Origin Realm, most of them need to cultivate elemental combat skills, and some advanced elemental combat skills even have the power of burning the sea and splitting the mountain!
Taking it a step further from the Martial Realm, and realizing the fluctuating subtlety of a certain origin of heaven and earth, the true qi will undergo essential changes, thus condensing into the "Force". At this level, the cultivator has entered the "Condensation Origin Realm", and only then can he truly be called the "Origin Warrior"!
As for the higher level of the Phantom Spirit Realm and the Mysterious Realm, with Fang Chen's current status, he is not qualified to know what kind of conditions are needed to cultivate, but he has vaguely heard that it is related to the Yuan Weapon.
......
"Condensation!"
A shout sounded in his heart, and the outermost layer of the galaxy qi xuan seemed to be swallowed by an unknown giant beast, and began to shrink inward in a buzzing and trembling.
"Whew!"
The two layers of qi suddenly overlapped, and after they condensed, they quickly turned into an incomparably pure force and rushed towards the dantian. In the dantian at this moment, although there are no meridians, there are lines of true qi circling and whistling!
Powerful as a dragon, soaring freely.
Without meridian restrictions, Fang Chen's speed of mobilizing true qi was at least twice that of ordinary people!
"Poof!poof!"
Suddenly, a crisp sound came from the dark compartment of the Liwu Pan that sat down, and then the Liwu Pan no longer spit out white mist, and the white mist in the sky slowly dissipated.
With a long sigh, Fang Chen opened his eyes, and there was a hint of worry in his eyes:
The more the "Star Swirl Jue" cultivates in the future, the more terrifying the amount of star stones needed, when the third order of the Martial Arts Realm is so many, so many star stones should be enough to cultivate for three hours, but this time it will be consumed in less than half an hour, if it is cultivated to another level, where can I find so many star stones?
Slowly retracting his true qi, Fang Chen's eyes were cold, his fists were clenched tightly, and his fingertips were deeply embedded in the flesh!
Hmph, Elder of the Black Clan, as a master of the Phantom Spirit Realm, you actually interfered in the battle between juniors regardless of your cheeks, and actually killed such a killer in order to prevent future troubles!
Thinking of the sins he had suffered in the past three years, Fang Chen's heart swelled with monstrous hatred-
Kindness must be avenged, revenge needs to be repaid, and when he is successful in cultivation in his year, he will definitely crush the deceitful to pieces!
......
No one knew that during a playful experience in his childhood, Fang Chen had found a book of exercises called "Star Swirl Technique", and the cultivation methods recorded on it were extremely strange, and if you wanted to cultivate, you had to abolish your dantian first!
Although it claimed that after its cultivation was successful, its power was incomparable, but Fang Chen had never been moved, after all, his future was bright at that time, and it was really impossible to take a huge risk to try other exercises.
But after being smashed through the dantian by the Black Clan Elder, Fang Chen thought of Star Swirl's recipe in despair! At that time, let alone taking risks, even if it was very likely to fall into hell, as long as he could regain his strength and take revenge, he would not hesitate to do so!
Starting to cultivate with the idea of fighting against the water, Fang Chen was pleasantly surprised to find that the speed of his cultivation progress was simply jaw-dropping, even in his heyday, it was incomparable, and it only took two months to stand back to the "First Order of Martial Arts"!
But with the deepening of cultivation, a restriction emerged, and that was energy!
Cultivating Star Swirl requires a compression of the absorbed energy before it can be successfully stationed in the dantian and deepen the cultivation of the Force.
Although this practice makes his true qi double that of people of the same rank, there are advantages and disadvantages, and the amount of heaven and earth vitality he needs to absorb is also double that of others!
If you want to advance quickly, then you need a lot of energy to pile up, and the most convenient way is to use the gas storage disk.
However, using the Qi Accumulation Disk required the consumption of Star Stones, Fang Chen was not a true disciple, where could he get such generous support?
After consuming the one star stone that he had managed to save up with great difficulty, Fang Chen had already given up hope for the time being, but he didn't want to get Old Man Li's help.
Recalling the scene when he first met Old Man Li, Fang Chen's heart was warm, in the past three years, their grandparents and grandchildren had treated Fang Chen like their own family. And in Fang Chen's heart, he has long regarded them as relatives......
However, Old Man Li's help is not a long-term solution after all, when he breaks through to the fifth order of martial arts, the amount of star stones he needs next will be even more terrifying, where should he look for it?
