022: Locke's bounty, practice qi (follow-up)
There are no nails in the mountains, and staying in the deserted old forest, it seems that you really can't feel the passage of time.
Three months have passed in a flash.
For three months, there was still a lot of strife in the retreat.
Many children of families who do not seem to sit in the city and practice quietly are all pickled and broken children who are not loved by their grandmothers and uncles, and all resources have to be fought for by themselves.
Even a 'safe living environment' has become a luxury resource, and naturally there is fierce competition, and there are often fights, which is also a sign that the strong hold each other and the weak tear each other apart.
But there was one thing that Chen Dengming expected.
Since he killed people and left that day, Jinzifang and Hutong Street seem to have suddenly shaken hands and made peace, on the surface, 'you kill one of my family, I will kill one of your family', and everyone is even.
In addition to Qian Yuan, the boss of Hutong Street, he is still wanted to find Chen Dengming, and wants to rip off this mortal who has lost his face.
The struggle between the two forces seemed to have died down all of a sudden, but Chen Dengming and several dead people became the biggest victims.
It was not surprising that some of the cultivators in the gathering place could see through.
Some old people have long seen the tricks of these 'powerful bosses'.
A moment ago, these bigwigs were still talking ruthlessly to each other, wanting to kill each other, and after the people on both sides beat their brains, the two sides will reach a reconciliation and consensus because of some kind of interests, but in the end it is their subordinates who die in vain, and what remains unchanged is the real interests that the bigwigs get.
Obviously, Chen Dengming, a mere mortal, is not worth the continued friction and war between Jinzifang and Hutong Street.
Jinzifang once took the initiative to provoke, but it was also because of the death of the monk Lao Lin.
took the opportunity to find a reason to compete for some resources to find trouble, and after Chen Dengming also killed a monk on Hutong Street, they accepted it when they saw it, and the poor did not chase after it.
Hutong Street can only suffer a dumb loss for this, pinching his nose and admitting it.
All anger can only be vented on Chen Dengming, a mortal, in the end.
When Chen Dengming quietly approached the gathering place of retail investors once in a while, he knew such a situation, and he could only laugh it off, secretly glad that he had decided to leave quickly after killing people.
Otherwise, if you choose to believe in Jinzifang, hoping to hide in the shelter of Jinzifang, you may end up being sold without knowing it.
However, it is not true that the Jinzifang cannot be used as a backing.
Otherwise, he would not have deliberately written the signboard and name of the Jinzifang on the wall in a high-profile manner, but in fact, he also made a good choice to stand in line, using the Jinzifang to attract some firepower while testing the attitude of the owner Xu Ning.
At present, it seems that he is a mortal, if he does not become a monk, there is a high probability that he will be regarded as an outcast, let alone use the Golden Word Workshop.
In addition to the Jinzifang and Hutong Street, another thing that caught Chen Dengming's attention was a reward issued by Miss Luo of the Luo family.
This bounty was actually related to the collection of refining materials for the Golden Silkworm Gu.
The bounty also faintly pointed out that if anyone knew the purpose of such materials, they could go to Luojia Mountain City to be summoned by Miss Luo.
Seeing this reward, Chen Dengming's first feeling was that Luo Bing, the eldest lady of the Locke family, seemed to be looking for herself, and hoped that she would go to Locke's Mountain City to report.
After all, this Gu refining technique is a small path in the path of cultivating immortals, and there are very few people who are good at it.
The eldest lady of the Locke family suddenly issued this kind of bounty to the disdainful casual cultivation gathering place, no matter how you look at it, it looks like fishing.
That fish, there is a high probability that it is him Chen Dengming.
If it is really as he guessed, then the so-called wanted trouble of Qian Yuan, the boss of Hutong Street, is nothing at all.
Is it important to break down the boss's wanted? Or is Miss Locke's bounty important?
Qian Yuan himself will be able to figure out the stakes of this, if he can't figure it out, someone will turn his head to help him figure it out.
However, despite this conjecture, Chen Dengming did not rush to Locke's house.
Conjecture is conjecture, reality is reality.
In the script, he can fight back against the rich woman by selling fish, but he may not be able to work if he relies on refining Gu to become a rich lady.
After all, the bounty did not directly explain what treatment would be given after going to Locke's house to report, and even knowing that he was now wanted, he did not directly name him Chen Dengming to protect him, a picture of me who doesn't care if you suffer.
In case it's not a good thing like asking for a child with a lot of money, but fried fritters...... That's just self-inflicted.
"Even if this is the solution to the trouble, you have to wait a little longer, at least after breaking through to become a monk, you will have the right to be respected...... This world of cultivating immortals, roll up. ”
Chen Dengming made up his mind, immersed himself in practice, and spent all day liver on the progress bar of "Three-Yuan Gathering Spiritual Gong".
In the past three months, in addition to refining Gu and preventing demon beasts, he has devoted all his time to cultivation, which can be described as sitting quietly on a furnace of incense in Nanshan, contemplating all thoughts all day long, forgetting to sleep and eating, and only looking forward to the sunrise.
Today, it is the ninety-eighth day of leaving the retreat.
The cultivation progress of the first layer of the "Three-Element Gathering Spirit Gong" is already close to the verge of breakthrough.
…
At this moment, outside the crack in the mountain, more than a dozen snake Gu driven by Chen Dengming were roaming around on alert.
Inside the cracks in the mountain.
Chen Dengming pointed to the ground with both hands, supporting the entire sitting body, and when the muscles of the whole body were tense, the highly condensed innate true qi in his body quickly traveled in the meridians and secret holes in his body under the movement of his mind.
In such a state, his body, spirit, true qi, essence and spirit were highly condensed, prompting the rapid transition from true qi to spiritual energy.
The aura in the air was quickly absorbed by him, and it entered his body to fill it with true qi, gradually increasing the purity of his true qi.
During this time, as he spent another eight years of life to cultivate the "Killing Seedling Pulling Technique", the affinity of the Zhongpin Spirit Root also increased to the level of 4 points.
Now that he has become a medium-grade spiritual root, there is no breakthrough in "Killing Seedlings", and the loss of two years of life can only increase the affinity of 1 point of aura, and the eight-year life span can only increase by 4 points of aura.
In addition, the Qing Ling Pill he took could also temporarily increase the affinity of spiritual energy by 10 points, resulting in the speed at which he absorbed spiritual energy now, which was about one or two percent higher than when he first possessed a medium-grade spiritual root three months ago.
However, because the aura in the wild environment was much thinner than in the scattered cultivation gathering place, his cultivation speed did not increase.
In the scattered cultivation gathering place, he took the Qingling Pill and practiced the "Three-Yuan Gathering Spirit Gong" nine times a day, which could improve his skill by a little.
But in the wild, taking pills and improving his qualifications, he still needs to practice the "Three Yuan Gathering Spirit Gong" twelve times a day to improve his proficiency a little.
This also shows the importance of the 'treasure land of cultivation' in 'wealth, couples, law, and land'.
Losing the treasure land, Chen Dengming can only solve the problem by making up for his clumsiness through diligence, but it takes half an hour to practice the "Three-Yuan Gathering Spirit Gong" once.
Cultivating twelve times a day was already the limit of what he could reach.
Beyond this limit, without a good rest, his spirit and energy will not be able to maintain coordination and balance, such as muscle cramps, mental exhaustion, let alone condensation of the three elements.
...
As time passed, Chen Dengming's muscles were covered with beads of sweat like grease, and the sweat rolling to the ground had stained the ground.
In the eight veins of the strange meridians in the body, the surrounding spiritual energy was like a tide of smoke, endlessly entering Chen Dengming's meridians, prompting the innate true qi to quickly sublimate into the spiritual qi.
This process is very painful, Chen Dengming's meridians are like knife cuts, inch by inch, and the sweat that flows out is already mixed with blood, he is being baptized by aura, cutting hair and washing the marrow.
As long as he couldn't support it for a while, the surging and amazing aura that the extraordinary fetus could resist could shatter his meridians.
At that time, not only will the breakthrough fail, but it will also suffer heavy damage, the meridians will be damaged, and it will be more difficult to break through in the future, which is why there are many congenital people and few immortal cultivators, not only because of the limitation of the spiritual root qualification.
The process of changing from a mortal to a monk is like a fish leaping into the dragon's gate, and the risks are not small.
Fortunately, Chen Dengming has practiced for many years, has accumulated profoundly, and his heart is also extremely firm.
After a stick of incense, it is not very Tailai.
All the painful feelings have turned into a clear stream of Shutai, rushing all over the body, and all the innate true qi has been transformed into aura.
At this moment, he only felt that his body was as light as a swallow, the aura in his body was dense, the glow outside his body was spontaneous, and a faint spiritual power filled his body.
The spirit has been made!
"It's time to practice qi...... Am I a monk? ”
Chen Dengming's eyes shone brightly, and his expression couldn't suppress the surprise, only to feel that the strength of the spiritual energy surging in his body was far greater than the power of the innate true qi, and his body seemed to be quenched by the spiritual energy, which was much stronger.
He only felt that his control over the aura around him had risen more than a dozen steps in an instant.
There is a feeling that as soon as you stretch out your hand, you can absorb the aura around you.
This sense of control seems to be the reason for the spiritual power exuded from him.
Generally speaking, it is as if ordinary people are surrounded by more than a dozen little brothers, and with a wave of their hands, the little brothers rush out, which is naturally very intimidating.
The monk was surrounded by an invisible but palpable aura, like a group of invisible younger brothers.
The higher the strength of the monk, the greater the range of spiritual energy that can be controlled, the stronger the spiritual power, and the stronger the Dao method can be used.
"It's a feeling...... It's a bit like the realm in the martial arts records of Nanxun Kingdom......"
In the martial arts records of Nanxun Kingdom, there was once a master who was the first in the rivers and lakes, who seemed to have broken through to the realm above the innate level, and could control a certain force in the air within the range of his body to suppress the enemy, and he could defeat the enemy without making a move, like the so-called 'unity of heaven and man' in the rumors, borrowing the power of heaven and earth.
Now that Chen Dengming has reached this realm, he has woken up to the fact that it seems that there was a monk in the martial arts of Nanxun Country back then.
It's just that the aura of Nan Xunguo is very thin, and the monk is also a clever woman who is difficult to cook without rice, only has the potential of spiritual power, but has no aura mobilization.
"That man is really, heavenly. Pity. ”
Chen Dengming sighed with emotion, suddenly got up, frowned and pondered for a moment, bent his fingers, gathered his fingers, and snapped his fingers.
"Whoosh! ——”
A spiral burst of energy burst out, slamming the opposite rock wall through deep holes......
