Chapter 14 Going out for training
Now there is still a month left before the sect trial. It's time to go out and have an event.
Suddenly there was a knock on the door.
The scholar's voice came: "Young master, young master, the patriarch called you over."
The patriarch is Ye Fan's grandfather, isn't his grandfather in retreat? Could it be that grandpa is out of retreat.
However, these are not what Ye Fan is thinking about now, Ye Fan hurriedly packed up and went to the ancestral hall.
The ancestral hall of the Ye family generally discusses major matters, and Ye Fan has not been there a few times.
When Ye Fan arrived at the ancestral hall, he found that there were already many people sitting on the main hall.
Sitting in the middle was the patriarch of the Ye family, Ye Quan. Full of silver hair, his spirit is indeed like that of a middle-aged man, and he does not look old at all.
Under Ye Quan's left hand is his uncle, Ye Yun, and the first one on the right hand is his second uncle, Ye Tao.
The second on the left hand side is his third uncle, Ye Ying. The fourth on the right hand is his father.
The core personnel of the Ye family were all there, and after Ye Fan entered, he hurriedly saluted, and said respectfully to his grandfather Ye Quan: "Ye Fan has seen grandpa, uncles, and father."
Grandpa smiled and said, "According to your father, last month when you were collecting herbs in the Falling Rain Forest, you were suddenly injured by a mysterious man in black and almost died, and your cultivation even fell to the first level of Qi refining, is there such a thing?"
Ye Fan heard what his grandfather asked, and replied seriously: "It is true, but my grandson survived."
Grandpa Ye Quan heard this, and continued to ask, "Then do you know the appearance of the person who attacked you?"
Ye Fan thought for a moment and replied: "I didn't see the person's appearance clearly, the person was masked, and with just one move, he knocked me off the cliff."
Ye Quan asked the uncle on the side again: "Boss, have you sent someone to investigate this matter?"
When the patriarch was in retreat, the big and small affairs of the clan were generally handed over to the uncle.
Ye Yun heard his father's question, and hurriedly said: "Back to my father, I have also sent someone to investigate this matter, but I have gained little."
After another pause, he continued: "The place where Ye Fan went that day was only the periphery of the Falling Rain Forest, so it should be very safe, and it should rarely encounter sneak attacks from fellow monks."
"And later, through investigation, we came to the conclusion that that person's cultivation had reached at least the sixth level of Qi refining, and he had reached the subtle realm."
At this time, his grandfather also began to move slightly.
Ye Fan was a little dazed when he heard the subtle realm, didn't he say that qi refining was divided into ten layers, what was the subtle realm?
Grandpa Ye Quan saw his grandson's doubts and said to his uncle: "Boss, it's time to give Ye Fan a brief introduction."
When the uncle heard his father's order, he immediately said: "Ye Fan has ten layers of qi refining, you all know this, but it is also divided into four realms, which are quenching bones, subtlety, detachment, and dust.
Generally speaking, many Qi Refining Cultivators were trapped in the Bone Quenching Realm, refining the bones of their whole body, and the process was extremely difficult.
Ye Yun continued, "Many Qi Refining Stage cultivators are bent on improving their cultivation, but they really ignore the perception of the Four Realms. Because the Four Realms of Qi Refining have a great relationship with one's own spiritual root level, the higher the grade, the higher the comprehension, and the stronger the comprehension of the Four Realms. Also, you can improve by constantly fighting."
"It's like the first step, many monks of the seventh layer of qi refining are still stuck in the first realm, because of various reasons of the spiritual root qualification, and this kind of person will end here in this life, only after refining all his bones can he be considered successful, otherwise he will not be able to reach the eighth layer of qi training."
After a pause, he continued: "The second realm of qi refining, the realm of subtlety, every move and every style can be achieved by the perfect use of aura, and it can be regarded as achieved. And the one who attacked Ye Fan obviously reached this realm, we have checked over there, there is no trace of battle around, and the use of aura is extremely reasonable."
Uncle finally said: "As for the latter two realms, I haven't reached them either, so I can't explain it." But there is one thing, I do know that the last realm of Qi refining, Absolute Dust, there is only one in ten thousand who can cultivate, and every person who has cultivated to the perfection of Absolute Dust, once they reach the realm of foundation building, is almost invincible in the same realm."
Grandpa added at this time: "The realm of the absolute dust is just a legend, and there are very few people who can really cultivate to perfection, so most people think that there are only three realms of qi refining."
Ye Fan silently wrote down these. Grandpa spoke again: "Fan'er, you have now recovered to the second layer of qi refining, and it is barely possible to recover to the second layer of qi refining in two months, but it is less than a month away from the sect's assessment, and originally with your cultivation of the fourth layer of qi refining, you will definitely be able to worship under the elders."
Grandpa sighed: "It's a pity"!
Grandpa said encouragingly: "Fan'er, use this time to improve your cultivation."
Ye Fan hurriedly spoke: "Thank you grandpa for your concern, Fan'er, you will definitely work hard to cultivate, but fortunately, you will gain something in this sect trial."
Grandpa said to the third uncle, Ye Ying: "Third brother, you go and take twenty Blue Spirit Pills from the treasury and let Fan'er cultivate well."
Sanbo Yeying immediately said: "Okay, father, I'll go and finish this matter."
This time, the third uncle didn't dare to slack off at all, and hurriedly agreed.
But in my heart, I was thinking about it, the second layer of qi refining, even if you were given enough pills, what could it do.
At most, it will reach the third level of Qi cultivation, and in this case, the trial assessment will only be able to be a disciple in the room.
Grandpa said to Ye Fan: "Fan'er, you go down first." We still have something to discuss with some of your uncles."
Ye Fan snorted and left immediately.
As soon as Ye Fan left, his grandfather sighed lightly and said, "I wanted to expect Fan'er to directly become the inner disciple of the Tianyue Sect, but it seems that it will not work."
Grandpa asked Ye Ying below again: "Third child, how is your child's cultivation in Tianyue Sect?"
Ye Ying hurriedly replied: "Back to my father, my child is about to reach the sixth layer of qi refining, and now he has entered the sect of Elder Xin."
When Ye Quan heard this, he said with satisfaction: "Well, it's good, it's not bad."
Ye Quan said: "The second thing, this time Sihai Town is going to hold an auction, I just got the news, one of them will auction a mortal high-grade fist weapon, if it can be successfully won, it will definitely improve the strength of the Ye family."
Ye Fan returned to the house to digest the news he had just heard. It's no wonder that the bones were constantly being tempered during the last battle. It turned out to be this reason.
Ye Fan began to meditate again in the room, and his cultivation finally entered the third layer of qi refining.
When it reached the third layer of qi refining, a layer of red light flashed in the body again. Ye Fan also knew something, so he didn't, and he was not surprised at all.
When the cultivation was stable, another three days passed. It's time to go out and practice.
Early in the morning, Ye Fan went to meet his parents and said that he wanted to go to the Falling Rain Forest to practice.
Unexpectedly, he was fiercely opposed by his parents.
Ye Lin said loudly: "Fan'er, have you forgotten what happened in the Falling Rain Forest last time?"
"Your cultivation is too low now. Meditate at home with peace of mind, swallow pills to improve your cultivation is the right way, and as for going to the Falling Rain Forest, we will talk about it later."
Luo Xuan also persuaded him: "Fan'er, you have just recovered from your injuries, and the last time you went to the secret realm of plants and trees, my mother was very worried, this time I will listen to your father's words and practice quietly at home."
After listening to his parents' words, Ye Fan paused and said: "Father and mother, I know that you are all for my own good, and you don't want me to encounter any more danger, what my father said is also reasonable, swallowing pills to improve cultivation should be something I need to do now, Fan'er has always thought so before, but since I went to the secret realm of plants and trees once, something has happened in it."
"I came back and thought about it for a long, long time. found that if it was blind, he didn't dare to challenge the danger, so he relied on swallowing medicinal herbs and pills. I can't go any further, so fathers and mothers, I beg my children to go through the training."
When the mother heard it, she couldn't help but say: "You are only twelve years old, you have time, and you don't need to be in a hurry."
At this time, Ye Lin suddenly said solemnly: "Fan'er, you have really grown up, my father is very pleased, when my father was the same as you, he only knew how to borrow the family's cultivation resources and constantly swallow all kinds of pills to improve his cultivation, and as a result, when he went to participate in the sect trial, although his cultivation was at the third level of qi refining, it was inferior to many scattered cultivation at the second level of qi refining. After staying in the sect for five years, he only improved to the fourth level of qi refining, and finally became depressed."
"I left the sect in a few years, and now I am almost forty years old, and I am still hovering at the fifth level of qi refining, which is inferior to many stewards in the clan, which is why I have no weight in my words in the clan."
Ye Lin continued: "Fan'er, my father has been wrong when he was a child, he relies too much on pills for one point, he is afraid of danger and difficulties, he doesn't have a heart for martial arts This is the second point, and he relies too much on the family and lacks the heart to be able to break through This is the third point, and Dad also hopes that Fan'er, you don't follow your father's old path, so your father supports you."
Ye Fan's mother just wanted to interject and say something, but his father immediately stopped him: Let Fan'er go your own way, we are already old, and Fan'er's future path will depend on you.
Ye Fan said firmly: "I will not disappoint my father and mother"!
When Ye Fan was about to leave, his father seemed to think of something and said, "Fan'er brought this thing with him."
I saw my father take out a thin piece of paper from the storage bag, Ye Fan took it and took it in his hand and looked at it carefully for a while, but he still didn't recognize what it was.
Ye Lin opened his mouth and said, "This is a talisman."
Ye Fan was slightly stunned and asked, "Father, what is Fu Lu?"
Ye Lin said: Fu Lu is actually the foundation building predecessor to inject some mana into this thin paper by special means, and its effects are different.
Some are infused with offensive spells such as the Fireball Technique, while others are injected with defensive spells such as the Earth Scale Armor Vajra Spell, and their power is also different.
Generally speaking, it can have about 10% of the power of the original spell, and the 10% power of a foundation building predecessor is also very extraordinary.
The price of each rune is one or two hundred spirit stones. Moreover, the advantage of Fu Lu is that it only needs a small amount of aura to be stimulated, and it is easy to carry and store, and it is generally given to the younger generation by the predecessors of the foundation for self-defense.
But at the same time, the shortcomings are also obvious, the failure rate is very high when it is first made, and it takes almost a dozen times to succeed, so it takes more aura.
Secondly, there are only one or two layers at most that can be stored, and it is not very useful to fight in the same realm.
The third and most important point is that you need special rune paper to make this thing, and you also need to practice a certain way of making talismans yourself.
Therefore, in Sihai Town, all the runes are from the Tianyue Sect, and the price is much more expensive, and this one of mine is a short-distance teleportation talisman given by the sect back then, and the price is several times more expensive than other similar runes.
