Serving as a subordinate mage, it did not have much impact on Zhong Yan's daily life, and he returned to calm and regularity.

But the benefits of following a mage are undeniable.

For example, mage tokens.

With it, it is very convenient to go out, at least when facing the monks of the Yan State Sect and the officials of the family looking for trouble, it can be taken out to avoid some embarrassment, which is the status symbol of 'backed by the royal family'.

Another example is the connections, most of the monks in the city are further befriended, so that they can take the relationship when encountering lucrative tasks.

Cultivation, double cultivation, talisman making, delving into the 'Great Void Technique', accompanying children...... As for everything mundane, Zhong Yan handed it over to his wife and concubine, and only occasionally listened to reports.

Time flies, four months in the blink of an eye.

In the cultivation room, Zhong Yan suddenly got up, his divine light was clear, and he was a little surprised in his heart, "It's done?" ”

He hurriedly opened the stone door, walked to the courtyard and stood still, running the exercises to mobilize the vitality in his body, and while reciting the mantra silently in his heart, his hands flew and pinched the formula, and the gesture was as one, and he raised his palm and pressed it forward.

Void Monument Hand!

Airplanes~

An illusory large handprint took shape in mid-air, and the surrounding aura surged, and the power was terrifying.

Zhong Yan's face changed drastically, and he waved his palm.

Rumble~

The small rockery surrounded by more than one person and three people was blown up, the stones were shot up, and the dust was flying.

At the same time, Zhong Yan stumbled under his feet, his body was weak and he knelt directly on one knee, and sat down with his buttocks, his brain groggy.

"it!"

"Cattle Batch~"

Zhong Yan looked at the gravel all over the yard, although his face was as pale as paper, his eyes were full of excitement and excitement.

This power is comparable to the second-order 'Burst Talisman', hitting the target can kill the fifth layer of Qi refining with one move, and seriously injure the sixth layer of Qi refining!

"Sir!"

Hearing the movement, Jiang Huan, who was practicing martial arts in the courtyard next to him, arrived as soon as possible, his face changed drastically, and he rushed to kneel down, but he didn't dare to help him casually, and asked with a crying voice: "Master, what's wrong with you?" ”

"Nothing." Zhong Yan shook his head, smiled at her, sat cross-legged with difficulty, took out a handful of pills from the storage bag and swallowed it.

It's out of force.

Only one move, maybe a complete move, drained ninety percent of the vitality in his body.

If you don't react quickly and fight out in time, you will definitely have to directly empty your vitality and pass out, and you may even have to drain your qi and blood and become a dry corpse.

Moreover, there is also a lot of loss in the consciousness of the sea, which causes dizziness and brain swelling, but the 'Void Great Tablet Hand' did not make any requirements in the divine sense, obviously feeling that compared to the vitality, the need for divine consciousness is insignificant.

"Husband!"

After a while, Qiu Xiang rushed through the arched portal and saw her husband sitting on the ground, his face was terrifyingly pale, and she panicked all of a sudden, tears unconsciously gushed out, and she threw herself in front of her, helpless, "Husband, you are ......"

Zhong Yan was extremely weak, and said with a sigh of relief: "It's okay, it's just that the practice has lost strength, so they don't have to make a fuss and help me in." ”

At the arched door, the newly married two-room concubine also arrived with the maid, looking at it from afar and not daring to step forward.

Qiu Xiang nodded again and again, wiped away her tears, turned her head and shouted: "Go back and do your own thing, no one will get the backyard without permission!" ”

Then, she and Xiaohuan helped Zhong Yan towards the cultivation room.

Both of them clearly saw that the old man's legs were shaking, and they couldn't stand at all, and for a while they were so nervous that they couldn't do it.

When she got to the stone bed and sat down, Qiu Xiang gently ran her husband's back with her palm, and said to Xiaohuan, who poured tea: "Xiaohuan, go and inform the eldest lady and the second lady to come back!" ”

"Yes!"

Zhong Yan shook his head slightly, "No, small problem, Xiaohuan, you go get something to eat, ask for meat." ”

"Good! Slave and maid, go now! ”

Qiu Xiang's face was full of worry, and her tears were pitiful, "Husband, you are really fine, don't lie to Xiang'er?" ”

Zhong Yan grinned, "Do you think there is something wrong with your husband?" ”

"That's good, you can scare the concubine to death!"

She could see that her husband's face was indeed relaxed, and there was even some surprise in his eyes, so she was afraid that he was pretending.

Not much.

Xiaohuan returned with two food boxes, there are many people in the house now, there are groups of wives and concubines, many children, and the kitchen has food ready at any time.

"Master, the fourth lady wants to come to see you, waiting outside."

"What's the excitement with a big belly, let her go back and have a good rest, I'm fine."

"Yes, sir."

After swallowing the Qi Replenishing Pill and the Blood Replenishing Pill to recover his strength slightly, Zhong Yan took the wet handkerchief and wiped his hands, then grabbed a meat hoof and started eating, eating a large piece.

"Husband, slow down."

Qiu Xiang put out a plate of meat, and the big stone in her heart finally fell, and she looked at Xiaohuan who ran over again, looked at each other and smiled, and if she could eat it, it meant that she was really fine.

"Well, it tastes good." Zhong Yan praised, his mouth full of oil.

"It's been a long time since you've eaten with everyone, so naturally you feel very fragrant."

In order to save time for cultivation, Zhong Yan has basically taken 'Bigu Dan' in the past few months, and asked casually: "Ping'er and Dao'er have gone out?" ”

Qiu Xiang nodded, "Yes, the eldest sister is in the martial arts hall, and the second sister took people to 'Liwa Village' to see the fields......"

Qiu Xiang and Jiang Huan waited for the old man to eat and drink, and couldn't help but observe the cultivation room curiously.

Both of them came in for the first time, a room of more than 20 square meters, except for stone beds, stone tables, stone benches and simple living utensils...... On the contrary, in the corner of the couch with blankets, I saw a lot of women's underwear.

Jiang Huan hesitated, blushing and went to tidy it up.

After a stick of incense.

Zhong Yan, who was full of food and drink, held the two back and began to look inward at his body - except for the loss of vitality, there were no other sequelae.

As soon as he thought of the scene where the rockery burst before, his eyes burst into bright light.

But soon, Zhong Yan suppressed his joy.

Although the power of the Void Great Monument Hand is great, it cannot be used easily, otherwise if you don't kill and maim your opponent, you will first become a lamb to be slaughtered, and then you will have no power to fight back.

"It seems that the vitality in my body is not enough to support normal urging."

"Maybe it will be better to break through to the fifth layer of qi refining."

"Next, we have to focus on realm improvement, and we have to find ways to increase the power of divine consciousness."

Before cultivating the Void Great Stele Hand, he first practiced 'Void Concealment'.

Because it is very convenient to do a lot of things with such a means, it is more practical than the 'Void Great Monument Hand' that is the main killing.

Two months ago, he felt that he had comprehended the essence of 'Void Concealment', and the mantra and gestures were fine, but he couldn't use them.

After some pondering, it is speculated that in addition to the lack of vitality, the bigger problem should be the 'divine consciousness'.

His divine consciousness is too weak, and 'Void Concealment' has clear requirements for divine consciousness.

Divine consciousness is the foundation and most important of a monk's practice, and almost all matters related to spiritual practice are inseparable from divine consciousness.

For example, the perception of divine consciousness is more real than what the 'eyes' see, and even if the other party has a dough, they can distinguish it by breath.

Another example is inward viewing, which is to constantly monitor the changes in one's physical condition through one's divine consciousness, which is particularly important for spiritual practice.

Divine consciousness also affects the speed of cultivation, combat adaptation, spell casting, exercise comprehension, critical thinking ability, and so on.

In addition, formations, alchemy, prohibitions, etc., have strict and rigid requirements for divine consciousness, and it is difficult to enter the threshold if the divine consciousness is insufficient.

Zhong Yan's inability to fully depict the formation pattern is weak in his divine sense.

As we all know, below the incarnation stage, the divine consciousness of ordinary monks is relatively weak, and the gap between individuals is not large.

Except for some people who are born with strong divine souls, their divine consciousness is inherently stronger, and under normal circumstances, many monks are high in the realm and have strong divine sense.

Only by breaking through to the stage of incarnation will the monk's divine consciousness be greatly improved.

This is also the reason why the god-transforming monks are called 'god-transforming powers', and the huge gap in divine consciousness makes the god-transforming monks initially break away from the mundane and become mortals.

It is worth mentioning that the cultivation realm of the monks of the Xianwu Continent is divided from low to high: Qi refining, foundation building, Jindan, Yuanying, Transforming God, refining the void, Merging the Dao, Mahayana, and crossing the tribulation......

But it is very difficult to improve one's consciousness.

There are exercises that specialize in cultivating divine consciousness, but they are not available for ordinary casual cultivation, even if many sects do not have them.

And the elixirs and pills used to cultivate divine consciousness are also cherished and abnormal, and they are ridiculously expensive.

In addition to the difficulty of finding exercises and the preciousness of resources, there are also very few low-level cultivators who will 'waste' time on divine consciousness cultivation.

Without it, the cost performance is extremely low.

Even if there are wonderful divine consciousness exercises and a large number of spiritual materials and treasures that use divine consciousness, cultivating divine consciousness below the stage of transformation will have little effect.

For example, if the additional growth of divine consciousness that took three years during the Qi refining period was to be cultivated again after reaching the Transformation God Realm, not to mention the resources spent, it might be worth three years in one day.

And in fact, who can afford that time?

For the vast majority of monks, they are always chased by Shouyuan, and if they don't quickly improve their realm and increase Shouyuan, how can they still spend energy on their divine sense?

But then again.

There is no doubt that if the divine sense is one point higher, the strength can be three or four points stronger or even more.

The Tianjiao and Junjie of the Immortal Cultivation Family in the large sects have good qualifications and conditions, so they will naturally accumulate cultivation divine consciousness one step ahead of ordinary people.

Therefore, it is often rumored in the cultivation world that a certain Tianjiao overstepped the level to kill the enemy, in addition to the vigorous vitality, the stronger divine consciousness is also the key factor, even if their divine consciousness is only so strong than others.

For an ordinary monk like Zhong Yan, the growth of divine consciousness basically relied on the natural ascension brought about by the breakthrough of the realm.

Qi refining level 1 cultivators have a five-zhang perception range, and each time they advance to the first level, they increase by three zhang.

Break through to the foundation, the performance will reach 100 zhang at a time, and then increase with the improvement of the realm with the range of 5 zhang.

Due to the surprise of individual monks, there is a slight difference between different people.

"Divine sense, it's difficult, but you have to plan ahead ......"

The Huoyun Sect has the practice of cultivating immortal divine sense, and Zhong Yan once heard Huo Dong talk about it.

However, even Huo Donglai didn't have a chance to cultivate, and it was impossible for him to get it.

As for buying, the Divine Consciousness Exercises, which are more expensive than the Double Cultivation Exercises, are not sold in Yangquanfang City.

"I can't say it, I have to find an opportunity to do a side hustle."

Muttering, Zhong Yan adjusted his state, swallowed a Qi Condensation Pill and began refining.
