Chapter 15: Finally breaking through the fourth order
After joining the Alchemy Pavilion, Chen Liang practiced alchemy in addition to practice, and after a few days of work, Chen Liang was already proficient in practicing the kind of healing liquid handed over by the Alchemy Gate. Although Chen Liang also wanted to practice refining, the elixir required two lower-grade spirit stones for one piece, which was still too expensive for Chen Liang, and his current spiritual power was not yet up to the level of refining Bi Ling liquid.
When it's okay, Chen Liang will also try to arrange the formation, after all, Chen Liang still likes the formation very much. However, there is no spirit weapon, so he can only use spirit stones, but in fact, Chen Liang can't even afford to use spirit stones, so he can only use spirit coins to arrange them. According to his own knowledge of the formation, Chen Liang arranged a simple spirit gathering array these geniuses, although it was simple, this was also in the eyes of the old man, but in fact, this kind of formation in the Purple Cloud Sect was already very good.
Chen Liang used more than a hundred spirit coins to arrange this array, after all, it had not been arranged before, although the old man had told him every point, but there were still some differences in the arrangement, and it took Chen Liang five days to revise and change it, and it was almost completed.
Today, Chen Liang put the last lower-grade spirit stone that was used as the eye of the formation into the array, and the spirit gathering array was officially completed. At this time, the surrounding aura frantically gathered in Chen Liang's house, and after a while, the kung fu had become very strong, fortunately, there was no one here, otherwise he would definitely be surprised to report to the sect. Chen Liang was still surprised by the effect of the formation in the formation, and suddenly the spiritual energy in his body became rapid.
Chen Liang knew that this was a precursor to an imminent breakthrough, so he hurriedly sat up cross-legged to regulate his breathing and run the exercises. Under the impact of Chen Liang's pure spiritual power and the supplement of the rich aura from outside, Chen Liang successfully entered the fourth order. After entering, Chen Liang meditated and cultivated steadily, and the aura in the room slowly dissipated after about half an hour. Chen Liang felt that the spiritual energy had become scarce, so he stood up and checked, it turned out that the spirit coins and spirit stones of the Spirit Gathering Array had been consumed and turned into small piles of ashes.
Chen Liang felt a pain in his flesh, and more than a dozen low-grade spirit stones were consumed in half an hour. If it weren't for the replacement of that mid-grade spirit stone with a hundred low-grade spirit stones, Chen Liang would not have been able to complete this spirit gathering array at all.
After the fourth order, Chen Liang can practice the Concentration Determination in the Channeling Technique, which is the practice of practicing the Divine Soul, and he can open the Spiritual Consciousness in the Open Pulse Realm. Chen Liang was still looking forward to what it would be like to open his spiritual sense.
After Chen Liang stabilized his cultivation, he couldn't wait to take out the "Guiding Technique" and turn it to Concentrating and began to practice. After practicing for a while, Chen Liang suddenly felt that he didn't need to turn his head, and the ground behind him appeared in his mind, although the color was not a little blurry, but it still made Chen Liang very surprised. However, after looking at it for a while, he felt dizzy, and it seemed that he had only opened his spiritual sense, which was too weak for him to observe too much.
Chen Liang has seen the usefulness of spiritual consciousness and knows that the power of opening spiritual consciousness can not only observe the world in 360 degrees, but also make the spiritual power more refined, make the exercises release more quickly, and so on.
Of course, Chen Liang was very happy to open the fourth order, and the next day he went to Fan Cheng and asked him to go to the market to play. Fan Cheng had also broken through the third order a few days ago, so he was also very happy to go to the market with Chen Liang.
On the way, they talked about what had happened recently, and they all felt that the spirit stones were spent too fast, and their spirit stones were almost insufficient.
Fan Cheng said that he had learned to draw the wind blade talisman, so he had to take out five or six to Chen Liang and tell him to use it for self-defense, and demonstrated one, only to see Fan Cheng inject a little spiritual power into the talisman and then throw it towards a tree, and the talisman instantly turned into a one-foot-long wind blade, leaving a deep blade mark on the tree. Then Chen Liang also gave Fan Cheng two bottles of healing elixir he made.
They talked and laughed and went to the market, preparing to go to the martial arts hall to have fun first, and experience the battle after the next level by the way. As they walked down the street, a monk in a black coat with a long knife at his waist approached them. His whole body was hidden under his coat, and he could only vaguely see his face, and Chen Liang only looked up. After all, there are a lot of people in the market, and there are a lot of casual cultivators, and there are all kinds of clothes, and this person is just a little special.
Because Chen Liang sometimes had a special feeling for others, especially those who were higher than him, he didn't know what it was like. When the monk approached Chen Liang, Chen Liang suddenly felt a special aura, as if he couldn't describe the feeling of encountering a ghost during a nightmare. When the monk walked behind Chen Liang and them, driven by curiosity, Chen Liang turned on his spiritual sense to observe the monk.
Chen Liang had observed Fan Cheng with his spiritual sense, and he could see the special light blue wind attribute spiritual power in his body operating in his body. When Chen Liang's spiritual sense first touched the monk, suddenly Chen Liang felt a very terrifying feeling, as if he would be captured and killed by the devil in the next second.
Chen Liang immediately turned on the Hidden Spirit Decision, trying to hide his aura. Just as Chen Liang had just withdrawn his spiritual sense to operate the Hidden Soul Decision, a powerful spiritual sense swept towards them, but there was no large-scale search in the vicinity, and he took it back as if he didn't find anything for a while. Then the monk departed in a hurry, as if he was afraid of something.
Chen Liang has been pretending to chat with Fan Cheng, Fan Cheng didn't notice anything unusual at all, and was still chatting loudly. After the monk left, Fan Cheng saw the cold sweat on Chen Liang's forehead and asked, "Chen Liang, what's wrong with you, why is your face pale and sweaty, you won't catch a cold, right?"
Chen Liang shook his head, "It's okay, it may be that I made a mistake when refining the medicine a few days ago, and I accidentally tested the medicine, and the residual medicinal power may have flare up at this time, but it doesn't matter for a while." ”
After a while, Fan Cheng saw that Chen Liang's face had recovered, and he didn't say anything. Although Chen Liang wondered who the monk was, he didn't think about it deeply, he only thought that it was a loose cultivator with advanced cultivation, and he used his spiritual sense to probe him without authorization, which angered him.
They arrived at the martial arts hall and put on their masks and walked in. The martial arts hall was as lively as usual, and there were still many people fighting. Chen Liang: When they entered, there was no place, and they were watching from the side of the ring.
The ring they watched was very lively, two people fighting very fiercely, one wearing a leopard head mask, the other not wearing a mask. After Chen Liang and the others inquired, they knew that the one who did not wear a mask was Elder Qi's grandson, Qi Kun, who was now the fifth order of the open pulse, and the leopard head mask monk was the sixth order of the open pulse. But they fought comparably, and Qi Kun faintly occupied the top.
Fan Cheng felt that it was nothing, Chen Liang also won the fourth order of the Open Pulse in the third order, although it was very thrilling, but he still won. In fact, Chen Liang felt that he was also very powerful, although he was worse than himself.
They watched for a while, and finally Qi Kun defeated his opponent with a very powerful spell. After the fight, Qi Kun left the martial arts hall, and Chen Liang originally planned to try to fight him, but he didn't have a chance.
After Qi Kun left, although the ring was temporarily empty, it was because it was a fifth-order and upward ring, but if there were monks on it, they could challenge it with a low rank. However, Chen Liangcai only wanted to practice when he advanced to the advanced level, and he didn't want to use all his strength, so they went to the low-level competition arena.
Chen Liang competed three times today, all of them were fourth-order with an open pulse, two of which didn't take much effort to win, and one took a little effort. The main reason for the laborious battle was that the person's defense was too strong, and there was an earthy yellow shield condensed throughout the game, and Chen Liang had to take out the Xuanci knife to break the shield and win him.
Fan Cheng also fought three times, won two and lost one. He lost to a monk with a sword. The monk opened the fourth order, the swordsmanship was calm and powerful, although Fan Cheng deftly dodged a few swords, but he was still hit by a sword, and then he was defeated.
After a few fights, they went to the same small restaurant where they had been. They had just left for a while when a woman wearing a cat-faced mask arrived at the martial arts hall. She is Wu Yuyan, she is not fighting but looking for a person with a rabbit face mask, and that person is Chen Liang. However, she waited until the evening and did not see the person in the rabbit-faced mask, and then left. When he left, he muttered in a low voice, "Alas, I haven't found that dead rabbit again, I'm going to be promoted to the fifth rank, and I don't have the right to fight him when I meet him in the future, I guess he won't take the initiative to challenge me." This dead rabbit won't die!"
Chen Liang and the others had a good meal and ate all the money they won from the competition. After eating, Chen Liang and the others went to the small street of the Kaimai monk to see if they could find some good things.
On the side street, Chen Liang found a stall with more than 20 pieces of rune paper, which were of very good material, but Fan Chenglingshi was not enough. The spirit coins he got from his sect service and selling talismans these days were only about one hundred and fifty, which was equivalent to fifteen spirit stones. And this rune paper requires twelve lower-grade spirit stones, Fan Cheng was reluctant to sell it, after all, it was just rune paper. The people at the stall also knew that this talisman paper was good, so it was sold so expensive. However, Chen Liang felt that this rune paper was more than this price, and Fan Cheng bought it for absolute value. Because he has a special feeling for this rune paper, he generally has a special feeling for good things, I don't know if it's because of the channeling technique or his own reason.
So Chen Liang bargained out of his own pocket to buy eleven lower-grade spirit stones, and then gave them to Fan Cheng. Fan Cheng was embarrassed and wanted to refuse, but he couldn't resist Chen Liang, so he accepted it. Chen Liang said that it was useless for him to not know how to draw talismans, so he should give him a birthday gift in advance. After Fan Cheng received it, he said that he would be successful in drawing talismans in the future, and he would definitely use this talisman paper to draw a few good talismans for Chen Liang.
Then they didn't see anything good, so they walked around for a while and then went back.
