The next cultivation was not very good, and there was something on his mind, which made his cultivation a little half-hearted.

Fortunately, there was no risk of going mad with his cultivation methods, and even though he was a little distracted, he still completed his cultivation.

The next day, early in the morning, after waking up, Zhong Cang wanted to practice eating qi for the first time.

"Gollum ......"

As before, by opening his mouth to swallow the air, Zhong Cang began to practice eating qi.

It's just that, unlike in the past, this time, the cultivation has just begun, and Zhong Cang has been "baba" several times.

"What a weird smell, what is this...... Wait, I can 'eat' the taste. ”

Zhong Cang's cultivation is to eat qi, but what he used to eat was air, and the air naturally didn't have any taste.

But at this moment, he suddenly noticed that the air smelled.

This scene made Zhong Cang stunned at first, but soon, he thought of something.

"This should be the ability to be proficient in the 3 realms of food and qi."

Then, thinking about this, Zhong Cang was confused.

"But what's the use of having a taste of gas, so that it tastes better when I eat gas? No, it's even worse when it tastes...... It won't be a waste characteristic. ”

Thinking of this, Zhong Cang was shocked, but the unwillingness in his heart made him not give up.

In the next three hours, Zhong Cang used various means to test the ability of the 'Tongue of Food'.

And after some testing, Zhong Cang's face bloomed again.

"It's not a waste, it's a miracle!"

Those who eat gas are gods and live long.

Eating qi can definitely allow Zhong Cang to obtain the characteristics of Bigu by swallowing air, which is actually very scientific.

After all, this world is not a previous life, and there is a special thing called aura.

The aura is formless and insubstantial, but it is diverse.

There is clear air in the sky, turbidity in the earth, and in addition, there is also the breath of water, the breath of the mountains, and the sharp and bloody breath of weapons and armor......

There are many kinds of qi, but not all of them can be absorbed by people.

The tongue of food allowed Zhong Cang to distinguish the qi that could be absorbed by the human body.

"Light and refreshing, this should be Qingqi, the most comfortable gas I absorb......"

"A smell of mud and sand, this should be the breath of the earth, I can absorb this gas, but the efficiency is not high."

"Spicy mouth's gratitude, this should be the breath of fire, and the absorption efficiency is similar to that of the earth......"

Relying on the tongue of food, Zhong Cang could distinguish several gases, and while tasting them, he also came out of his humble room.

The reason why he came out was that after Zhong Cang tasted a lot of spiritual energy, he found that the gas in his room was a little turbid, and it was not the best place to cultivate.

"I need to find a place with more air."

With such an idea, Zhong Cang walked around the outer courtyard with his mouth open for the next morning.

At the same time, it also made two 'bah' sounds from time to time.

In the process of walking around, Zhong Cang slowly discovered that in the bamboo forest not far from the outer courtyard, there was the most clear qi and was the easiest to be absorbed by himself.

At the same time, in the slow experiment, Zhong Cang also discovered another use of the tongue of food - separation.

Previously, Zhong Cang had eaten qi, inhaling qi into his mouth and suffocating it in one gulp.

Now, although he has the tongue of food, he has found a good place to cultivate.

But after all, this is not a blessed place, the pure qi in the bamboo forest is only more than that in Zhong Cang's room, and it still contains a lot of impurities.

And the new ability that Zhong Cang has explored is to inhale the qi into his mouth, and then stir it with his tongue to separate the qi in his mouth.

After that, he only inhales the clear qi and exhales the turbid qi that is not easy to absorb.

Although, because Zhong Cang's tongue was not very flexible, he could not completely separate the clear qi and turbid qi, but this operation still made Zhong Cang's swallowed clear qi into his stomach increase by half compared to before.

However, after some experiments, Zhong Cang also found something that gave him a headache...... After having the step of tongue stirring, my cultivation speed slowed down a lot.

"Forget it, slow down, you can't be in a hurry when you cultivate......"

After comforting himself, the next morning, Zhong Cang spent all his time in the bamboo forest.

By inhaling and stirring, he cultivates his own food qi again and again.

And an hour later, Zhong Cang discovered another benefit of a tongue of food.

"Now, the amount of gas I swallowed is already the amount of nine mouthfuls I used to take, but my abdomen is not swollen, and I can continue to cultivate!"

After discovering this, Zhong Cang's eyes gradually bloomed, and he quickly figured out the reason for this kind of thing.

"Turbidity is not easy to digest, which makes me bloated."

"Now I breathe in more pure qi, and without the blockage of turbid qi, I can naturally cultivate for more time."

"And extending the cultivation time can be regarded as speeding up my cultivation speed in disguise, perhaps, I can advance to the fourth level of Qi cultivation in a very short time."

Thinking of the fourth layer of Qi training, Zhong Cang's heart jumped.

The Yunxiao Sect is a large sect that has been inherited for 3,000 years.

To be able to exist for such a long time, the Yunxiao Sect naturally has a complete set of disciple cultivation plans.

In the Yunxiao Sect, the disciple's entry is the lower courtyard, and the practice of food qi is decided, and within a hundred days, if it can cause the body to enter, he can enter the outer courtyard.

But entering the outer courtyard does not mean that the monk can rest easy.

The resources of a sect are always limited, and monks need wealth and wealth to practice.

Therefore, within the sect, competition exists everywhere, and the cruel elimination is also closely following the footsteps of the disciples of the sect.

The first round of elimination is the above-mentioned 100-day air induction.

In the second round of elimination, it is the distinction between the disciples of the outer court and the disciples of miscellaneous servants.

After the 100-day Qi Cultivation Entry, if Zhong Cang and the others were unable to raise their cultivation to the fourth level of Qi cultivation before the age of eighteen, they would be judged by the sect to have no cultivation value, and the disciples of the outer court would be demoted to become miscellaneous disciples.

If they become miscellaneous servants, at that time, they will not have time to cultivate, but they will need to be busy every day with spiritual value planting, spirit beast feeding, or being a fire boy in the refining academy.

Zhong Cang has an uncle who is a deacon of the outer gate, but there is no need to worry about too much work.

can be demoted to miscellaneous servants, which means that there is no chance to enter the core of the sect, which Zhong Cang never wants to see.

"The fourth layer of qi training is a hurdle, only by breaking through the fourth layer of qi training, can I organically participate in the outer courtyard competition, and be favored by the major peak masters and island owners of the inner gate."

As a huge sect that has been inherited for thousands of years, there are eliminations in the Yunxiao Sect, and naturally there are upgrades.

Every three years, the outer courtyard will hold a huge competition for outer disciples.

If you perform well in the competition, you will have the opportunity to be valued by the elders of the inner sect, so that they will be recruited as inner disciples.

The four layers of qi training are the basic conditions for participating in the competition.

"You have to improve your cultivation as soon as possible! I remember the last time I had a competition for outer disciples, and I didn't have much time left. ”

Thinking of this, Zhong Cang felt a sense of urgency in his heart.

But soon, he suppressed the excitement in his heart.

"You can't think about it, you can't be in a hurry, the matter of the fourth layer of Qi cultivation hasn't been written yet. Moreover, even if I became the fourth layer of Qi cultivation and the first time I competed as an outer disciple, I wouldn't have a chance. ”

"Also, I don't know how to improve my cultivation, which can allow me to cultivate a few more times, if it is only three or five times, it is useless."

"I hope to reach twenty times, so that I can cultivate twice as many times as before...... No, it's more than twice as much, in the past, I was collecting turbidity and clearing qi together, and my physique was extremely inefficient at absorbing turbidity, and this kind of cultivation would not only make my abdomen bulge, but also make my absorption efficiency not high. ”

"Now, most of what I absorb is pure qi, even if it is the same number of cultivations, the efficiency of my current cultivation is twice as high as before."

"If you can cultivate twenty times, that's four times!"
