Chapter 11: The Seven-Colored Lotus
The arrangement of fate is sometimes wonderful, so wonderful that one doubts the existence of a Creator.
The three major mountain ranges of Qin Mountain, Zushen Mountain, and Digong Mountain are collectively known as the Demon World Mountain Range. Stretching for thousands of miles, with mountains and trees, it is the most core settlement area of demonic beasts, and it is also a place that cultivators hate and love! But what makes people love is that in the Demon Realm Mountains, because there are few human tracks, which collect the aura of heaven and earth, coupled with the age, countless precious medicinal materials have been cultivated, which has become the most ideal medicinal herb garden for many alchemists. Moreover, when a monk hunts a demonic beast, he can take its magic core and sell it to an alchemist or an auction house.
Warcraft are divided into the first order to the tenth order, the first order is similar to the human Qi refining period cultivator, the second order is equivalent to the human foundation building period cultivator, and so on. In the process of cultivation, the demonic beast gathers the energy of heaven and earth in the demon core, and the energy in the demon core is extremely violent, even if it is a Jindan stage monk, it cannot directly absorb the energy in it, which also means that the energy in the demon core cannot be directly refined and absorbed by people. However, for alchemists, the magic core is an extremely precious and indispensable main material, and by matching the corresponding spirit grass and secret methods, it can refine the elixir that countless people covet. And these pills often have the effect of improving the cultivation level and enhancing the elemental application level! This also makes the alchemist an important resource for many countries, academies, sects, and so on.
However, due to the existence of some covenants, some demonic beasts in the Demon World Mountain Range are often not allowed to enter the human world, and some monks in the human world are not allowed to appear in the Demon World Mountain Range. For example, monks who have cultivated at the Yuan Infant stage and above, these monks have too much destructive power, and once they enter the Demon Realm Mountain Range, they will inevitably bring great losses to the Demon Beasts, and some of the Demon Beast Kings in the Demon Realm Mountain Range will be dispatched to drive them out or kill them!
However, there are conflicts between low-level demonic beasts and low-level cultivators, and between the human world and the demon world, but this conflict will not cause the masters of the two worlds to make a move, and in the long run, the periphery of the demon world mountain range and even part of the middle zone have gradually become a place for hunting each other between the demon world and the human world, and these are only limited to the cultivation of the Jindan period and below, once the cultivation beyond the Jindan stage is exceeded, it will inevitably cause a backlash from the masters of the demon world. Similarly, the Demon Realm has always strangled monks who dare to enter the Demon Realm Mountain Range.
"The competition I participated in this time was extremely dangerous. I hope that everyone here will think about it carefully, and if he needs to withdraw, I can guarantee that his qualifications to enter Qinshan Academy will not be affected in any way. Meng Yang glanced at everyone, taking in everyone's faces and expressions. Some people hesitate, some people think, some people are excited, some people are quiet.
"On the periphery of Qinshan, there are a large number of first-order and second-order demonic beasts, and you may be able to deal with most of the first-order demonic beasts, but if you encounter second-order demonic beasts, I am afraid that there is only one way to escape, whether you can escape, I am not optimistic. In other words, if you participate, you may be injured, disabled, or even killed! ”
"The risk is great, but it is also equivalent to the harvest. Each student who participates will be ranked according to the performance competition, and the college will give a certain reward. If you win the title of the best academy, the entire academy will be rewarded with a certain amount of rare medicinal materials, cultivation pills, and a large number of intermediate spirit stones. Of these awards, eighty percent go to the students and two percent go to the academy. And those who have won the title of the best student can choose one of the bottles of Zhuji Dan, the Formation Gathering Spirit Array, and the Medicinal Herb Seven Colored Lotus. Needless to say, there are three Tsukidans in one bottle, which can greatly improve the success rate of foundation building, and it is the most critical pill for entering the foundation building period. The Spirit Gathering Array can gather the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, and those who cultivate in the Spirit Gathering Array will often have more significant results. The seven-colored lotus is also a rare herb that has the effect of greatly improving cultivation and can recover from serious injuries in a short period of time. In addition, the top 2nd to 5th students who performed well in the competition will be rewarded with 2 Tsukidan, and the 6th to 10th place will be rewarded with one Tsukidan. Meng Yang said slowly.
When he heard about the seven-colored lotus, Ye Changtian's fingers flickered, and his heart was even more agitated. Seven-colored lotus! This is one of the important medicinal materials of the Five Rank Pill Candle Yin Nine Turning Pill, I didn't expect that this high-grade medicinal material would actually appear in the prize of the competition! Lin Qingyue, who was sitting next to Ye Changtian, noticed Ye Changtian's slight movements, but she didn't say anything.
At this point, everyone must understand the risks and gains of this trip. Therefore, I hope that every student will seriously consider it, take two days off, and give me a reply after returning to school after two days. Now, except for Ye Changtian, everyone else can go. Meng Yang is not in a hurry to let everyone give an answer.
When it comes to choosing between life and death and dilemmas, some people can make a decision in a split second, while others need to weigh and consider. There are still more than ten days before the competition, and it is necessary to determine the participation list as soon as possible, and at the same time conduct training in Warcraft.
When Xiao Ziliang and the others saw that Ye Changtian was left alone, their hearts sank, and they immediately understood. The reason why Ye Changtian was able to come was the dean's own will!
Lin Qingyue said to Ning Xiaoxue and waited outside, and then walked out with everyone. In the room, there were only Ye Changtian and Dean Meng Yang.
"Ye Changtian, right? I've watched all your competitions, and they're very good. Meng Yang changed from a majestic state to a kind attitude, as if he were talking about common words.
"Thank you, Dean. I just don't know what the dean asked me to come here for?" Ye Changtian asked directly.
"Ye Changtian, a pseudo-spiritual root, officially became a monk half a year ago, and he is the first layer of the Qi refining period, without elements. In just half a year, I have been promoted from the first layer of the Qi Refining Period to the fourth layer of the Qi Refining Period, and I have mastered the three elements, which is really amazing! Meng Yang picked up a report from the table, and then said lightly, his eyes full of admiration and surprise.
Ye Changtian's heart was also moved, he had only used the wood element and the earth element, but he had never used the fire element. But the dean saw through it at a glance, and the other party's cultivation had reached a very powerful level!
"Although I don't know why you have been holding back until now, I think you have a lot of doubts. Take this opportunity to ask. Meng Yang motioned to sit down opposite him, and the two talked to each other.
"There are indeed doubts. Ye Changtian thought for a while and said.
"Just say. ”
"For the element, why is it that it is also a fire element, but it can devour the other party's fire element, shouldn't the elements be equivalent to each other?" Ye Changtian said, Meng Yang listened slightly from the side.
"Elemental Devouring and Absorption?Do you know the difference between monks, what is the most important thing for monks to cultivate?" Meng Yang asked.
Ye Changtian shook his head, he didn't know much. Although there are countless exercises and precious classics, after all, the time I have obtained is too short, and I don't have time to check them one by one, and most of the classics are high-end goods, and I may not have any involvement in some common sense things.
"We cultivate, which means immortality. But the way of immortality is rarely available. However, with supreme perseverance and intelligence, our ancestors created countless exercises and learned to master the elements. The grades of exercises are generally divided into yellow level, Xuan level, earth level, and heaven level, and each level is divided into three levels: low, intermediate, and advanced. Of course, legend has it that there are exercises on top of the Heavenly Rank Exercises, but they are not visible. Even if it is the human realm, the Heavenly Rank Exercises are very few and extremely precious. The exercises taught in our academy are just the most basic Yellow Rank primary exercises, and they are only for guiding teaching. ”
"The level of the exercises determines the quality and effect of the spells or elements cast by the monks. It is also a fire element, and the quality of the fire element used in the Yellow Rank low-level exercises will be significantly lower than that of the Yellow Rank Intermediate Exercises, and if there is a significant difference in the level of the exercises, such as the elements cast by the Xuan-level exercises, they can absorb or even swallow the elements displayed by the Yellow Rank exercises. ”
"Of course, these are all related to cultivation. If the cultivation level is too low, even if the exercises and elements performed are higher than the other party, it will be difficult to match. For example, if the cultivator is only a monk at the fifth level of the Qi Refining Period, the exercises and elemental levels are all at the ground level, while the opponent is at the ninth level of the Qi Refining Period, although the opponent is using the Yellow Rank exercises, and the spells and elements are of a lower level, but the power will still be stronger than the fifth layer of the Qi Refining Period. For example, for a high-level fire element, because the cultivation level is too low, it can only cast a small piece of fire, but for a monk with a higher level of cultivation, although a basin of water cannot extinguish this small piece of fire, what if it is a tank of water or a pool of water? After all, a flame of higher temperature can swallow a small flame, and a flame of higher temperature can swallow a relatively weak flame. ”
In other words, the most important thing for a monk is the practice and cultivation, and only when the practice and cultivation are combined can a more powerful element or spell be cast. Exercises determine the quality of spells and elements, and cultivation determines the number, scope, and endurance of spells and elements. Do you understand?" Meng Yang said eloquently, explaining very carefully.
Hearing this explanation, Ye Changtian had a deeper understanding of the way of cultivation. Even if he has immortal-level exercises, his cultivation is too low and too low, and the spells or elements he casts may only be superficial. But thinking that cultivation has just begun, who can say for sure in the future?
"Then what is the purpose of letting me come this time?" Ye Changtian said his question after thinking about it.
Meng Yang smiled slightly, then walked to the bookshelf, and after a few fingers in a hidden place, a wooden box popped up. After opening the wooden box, there was a quiet and beautiful jade bottle lying inside. Ye Changtian looked at the dean in confusion, not knowing what it meant.
"There is a Zengyuan Pill inside the jade bottle, which can improve a cultivator's cultivation. I hope that you will be able to break through the fifth layer of the Qi Refining Period in a short period of time and participate in the competition on the periphery of Qinshan Mountain. Meng Yang said, carefully looking at Ye Changtian's expression, and then added, "Of course, you can also refuse to participate." ”
Ye Changtian looked at Dean Meng Yang's slightly old but tenacious expression, and asked, "Why me?"
