Chapter 23: Preparation
The next day, everyone in the construction office knew the news, and they were all excited, and reported the promotion of all the construction offices.
Next, the four of them have an important thing to do. As a famous sect, the Freedom Vientiane Sect naturally attaches great importance to the cultivation and promotion of reserve disciples and does not hesitate to reward them. The first layer of the Treasure in the Gate is the low-level lower-level plane teleportation, such as the transmission of disciples from the secular world to the mountain gate, and the second layer of function is the low-level exercise equipment treasure house, which saves all kinds of exercises and treasures suitable for low-level disciples that are created, purchased or collected by the door, and can be stored in the warehouse to choose three rewards after becoming a trainee disciple.
First of all, all disciples who break through the realm of one-dimensional reincarnation can get a storage space, with different styles such as bracelets, rings, rings, hairpins, space bags, etc., but the space is not large, only the size of a cabinet, and it cannot accommodate living things, which is generally a must-choose.
Secondly, the apprentice disciple can choose any two kinds of exercises, pills, weapons, equipment, and spirit beasts, which will be part of their own combat power and can be used in the big competition, which is also an opportunity to test the disciple's eyesight.
Finally, it is only by becoming a trainee disciple that you are eligible to learn other traditional exercises in the sect, and to be eligible to receive other rewards for completing various tasks.
Since Hua Lan Ting's Sky Azure Smoke Jade broke through, the storage space in it had expanded to the size of a room, and he thought to himself that he could no longer need a space device, so that he could choose one more thing than others.
The next day, the four people from the construction office came to the Douji Peak of the back mountain to choose the reward. The peaks of Douji Group present a typical karst landform, composed of countless large and small peaks, solitary peaks, hills, hills, and stone buds, mixed with many karst caves, shafts, depressions, and many small plains and primeval forests.
The entrance to the second floor of the Freedom Furnace is located in a large mountain bag called Jubaofeng. After the four of them entered a building that looked like a Taoist temple, they were ushered into a room by the disciples of the temple.
According to the introduction of the disciples of the temple, the optional exercises are all suitable for the apprentice disciples to practice, or low-level exercises, or the primary mental methods of high-level exercises, what they need to pay attention to is that after becoming a trainee disciple, they will have a sense of the exercises of different elemental systems, and the exercises will be divided into metal, wood, water, fire, earth, wind, thunder, poison, compound, no attributes, special attributes and so on, but there are no high-level attributes such as space and time in the second-layer treasure house.
Regarding weapons and equipment and magic weapons, according to the classification method of the Oriental Shuxuan Continent, it is roughly divided into spiritual weapons and spiritual treasures, yuan ingots, and artifact fairy treasures, and each level can be divided into lower grades, middle grades, upper grades, and a scarce number of best and holy products.
The utensils suitable for apprentice disciples are either specially made by disciples in the door, or are practiced works, or are obtained by external collection and procurement or fighting, and some are semi-finished products and defective products of high-end utensils, most of which are made after tomorrow, but there are also a small number of congenitally formed treasures, both mass-produced and unique.
Among the exercises and artifacts in the roster, the most numerous and varied ones are low-level exercises, low-grade weapons and equipment, spirit treasures and elixirs, and the smaller ones are mechanism formations and spirit beasts. What the apprentices need to do is to first look through the classification list and profile, select ten alternatives from them, and then go to the library according to the number to inspect and consult the detailed description, and finally select three types.
After Hua Lanting looked at the various rosters, he first ruled out the pills, firstly because they were mostly disposable consumables, and secondly, he wanted to rely on his own ability to refine them in the future, and then he gave up the spirit beasts and mechanism formations, because he didn't know much about the lack of research at the moment, so his range of choices was focused on the exercises and weapon spirit treasures.
When choosing the exercise attributes, Hua Lanting didn't have a very obvious feeling about the corresponding attributes of his own aura because the promotion time was too short, but he found that every time he saw the exercises and items of the thunder attribute, the sky blue smoke jade would heat up, and he was once again amazed in his heart that this jade had a spirit, and at the same time, he also determined the direction of the thunder attribute.
There are quite a lot of thunder attribute exercises in the exercise manual, and the sky blue smoke jade does not have a more explicit and further hint about this, he can only rely on his own instinct to judge, and finally he chose an ordinary palm thunder technique, the reason is that this skill is simple and easy to learn, and its effect is completely determined by the user's skill, and it does not affect the subsequent cultivation of other thunder techniques.
In terms of weapons and weapons, Hua Lanting has had a strong interest in Qimen blades since he practiced hidden weapons in order to avenge his secular teacher, and he found a favorite weapon in the subdivided weapon spectrum, called Dragon Head Scorpion Tail Ruyi Suo, referred to as Dragon Head Suo, also known as Dragon Head Rod.
This thing is a rare weapon, the total length is about one zhang, the body is a soft rope, one end is a dragon's head, one end is a scorpion tail cone, respectively, it is made of rare metal fingers and soft diamonds, injecting aura can be hard as a gun or soft as a whip, can be collected and placed, can be wrapped and rolled, can be long and short, long can attack far away, near can be short to defend oneself, and at the same time very good at locking other weapons, in addition to the hollow dragon head, can shoot out steel needles, short arrows and other hidden weapons, kill the enemy between surprises, so that Hua Lanting can't put it down.
Hua Lanting was a little difficult when choosing the third reward, and it wasn't until he saw a body refining technique called Tightening Skin, Stretching Tendons and Pulling Bones, that his eyes lit up, and he thought of what Mu Qitian had said about body refining. This skill is the primary chapter, tight skin exercise physical defense of the ability to resist blows, stretching tendons and pulling bones can dredge the meridians, open and close the knots, enhance the ability to attack, and is conducive to practicing the penetrating strength of the aura, and it is also reported that the middle and advanced exercises specialize in cultivating qi, blood and spiritual power, until the whole body is round and indestructible.
The four of them spent an hour to complete the selection, and returned to the construction office to communicate, and the other three all picked a storage space device to place items as usual.
In addition, Lin Xian was shocked, and he chose a kite-shaped dovetail shield that was both offensive and defensive and a defensive earth technique, and Zhuge Yun chose a five-hook divine flying silver spear and a matching metal attack technique. Yi Liunian's choice is the most peculiar, one is a spirit beast called the spotted winged flying lizard, the overall green of this beast is the body of the lizard, but the back has wings, the wingspan is red with black spots, and can change color according to the environment to hide, usually crawling, can fly for a short time, the speed is extremely fast, the sharp teeth and mouth also have their own toxins, the exercise of Yi Liunian naturally chose to help light the body of the wind attack spell.
Mu Qitian took the time to come over and look at the choices of several people, and did not say much, only said that there were still three months before the sixtieth generation disciple Dabi, so that the four of them usually grasped the cultivation of the exercises and became familiar with their own use with weapons and spells as soon as possible, and at the same time let everyone often improve their overall ability through joint practice, and gave a manual with the basic moves of the small free fist and the big free sword, as well as taught the intentional or unintentional hook hand and the upper room to open the tile and kick the cloud into the door to practice.
Hua Lanting sorted out the resources at hand and arranged time to practice.
After a month, he found that the initial level of the Dragon Sleeping Pill Gong was easy to learn, so although the Sky Azure Yanyu was still absorbing his aura, the cultivation of the Freedom Wuji Gong was no longer slow.
The skin-tightening exercises are also easy to get started, and they are already moderately effective in physical defense.
There is a practice method for soft weapons in the secret book of the Sky Blue Smoke Jade Inner Frost Maple Luohui Pavilion, but it is very difficult to master the Qimen weapon at the beginning, and he can't fully control the use of the dragon head and scorpion tail Ruyisuo.
With the support of the aura in the room period, the palm thunder has also been able to exert a certain attack power; the basic moves of the small free box, the big free sword and the intentional or unintentional hook hand, the upper room to open the tile and kick the cloud into the door to practice although the practice can be used, but the contact time period, and lack of guidance, so the connection between the stagnation is still too sluggish and the cooperation with the aura is not satisfactory.
The characteristics of the four are also fully reflected when they practice:
Lin Xian's defensive ability is outstanding, full of toughness, and occasional counterattacks are also very sharp; Zhuge Yun ranks first in speed, coupled with the combination of man and gun and metal attack techniques, the offense is extremely sharp; Yi Liunian referred to the Shangfang Jiewa kick Yunbu, the already strong light body technique has made great progress, chasing Zhuge Yun, with the wind system technique, the attack and defense are erratic, and the spotted winged flying lizard's flank attack is even more unguardable.
Hua Lanting is all abilities are very balanced, his spiritual sense coverage is very conducive to perceiving and arming in advance, the aura is not bad with the palm thunder attack power, the dragon head rope and the hidden weapon in it are haunting, and his physical resistance is not weak, plus the support of the entry period of the three people, sometimes lose in a short period of two-person battles, but in a long time in the fight, he can often hold on to the moment of gaining the upper hand.
Another month passed, although Hua Lanting was making progress in all aspects, but he began to have a headache about practicing too many exercises, and he refused to reduce the cultivation time of any one, although he knew that everything had a process of quantitative change accumulation to qualitative change, but he was also a little at a loss how to distribute the trade-offs.
Seeing that the big competition would start in another month, he didn't care what kind of ranking he could achieve, but he felt anxious about the path of cultivation and ascension, and he knew that this state of mind would affect his cultivation progress.
Just when Hua Lanting was wondering whether to ask Chief Mu Qiwan or Elder Zhou Xi for advice, a piece of news about Dabi inspired him.
The rules of this year's big competition have been decided, and the method is very simple, that is, all the promoted disciples will randomly draw lots to fight in pairs, the loser will be directly out, and the winner will continue to draw lots for two people to duel, so after many rounds until the winner of about ten people is finally decided, and the fighting method is unlimited.
In Hua Lanting's view, this elimination system is just four words - simple and rude, not objective and fair, if you are unlucky, the strong may also be eliminated in the first round.
Fortunately, there is another remedy, that is, after the top dozen or so are decided, other disciples who ask themselves to be strong but unlucky can challenge these winners, and if they can win the battle, they can take their place, until there are no challengers, and finally the winners will continue to eliminate each other to determine the ranking.
