Chapter 8: Family Rewards
In the next two days, Ding Zhengyi refined the vitality step by step, in addition to eliminating erysipelas, it was unremittingly dredged the blocked spiritual network, and the second spiritual network had just begun to dredge, and it was currently the cultivation qualification of the fifty-seven spiritual network and five spiritual knots.
There are still three of the nine spiritual networks corresponding to the sixth spiritual aperture, according to the current progress, there is still a great hope that the dredging will be completed before the age of thirty, so that the cultivation qualification will be cultivated to the six spiritual apertures the day after tomorrow, and once this goal is reached, the possibility of building a foundation will be multiplied.
On the morning of the third day of breaking through the middle stage of Qi training, Ding Zhengyi had just finished the morning class of the day, and his mood was quite Suchang, because the residual erysipelas in the dantian had been completely refined.
Before he could do anything, he heard a slight footstep on the stairs, and after a while, Xiaoqiu's familiar voice sounded outside the door of the quiet room, "Brother Yi, can you hear it, grandpa is here, go downstairs to the living room." ”
"Come right away, you go and pour him a cup of tea first. Ding Zhengyi casually turned off the protective formation and slowly ended the operation of the exercise step by step.
"The tea is ready, I'll go down and take care of it first. Xiaoqiu replied and hurriedly ran downstairs.
After a cup of tea, Ding Zhengyi came to the living room downstairs, and saw Xiaoqiu standing at the door of the living room with low eyebrows, grandfather Ding Changshou sitting on the purple bamboo chair in the middle of the living room, holding a cup of tea in his hand and tasting it leisurely, the corners of his mouth trembled slightly, and his gray beard kept shaking, as if he was thinking about something happy.
"Grandpa" Ding Zhengyi stepped into the door and called out in a proper manner, and Ding Changshou looked up.
"I didn't delay your cultivation, I sent you a family reward," Ding Changshou said as he put down the teacup in his hand, reached out and took out a package from the storage bag on his waist and put it on the table next to him.
Without waiting for Ding Zhengyi to speak, he continued: "Yi'er is really good, he cultivated to the middle stage of qi cultivation at the age of sixteen, and he also has the talent of arranging array talismans, the patriarch sitting in the ancestral hall was shocked, and personally convened a meeting of the elders to discuss, and finally gave you a lot of rewards, don't you see how envious those old guys are, but it has given me a lot of face." ”
After saying that, he seemed to think of something again, and laughed to himself.
It was the first time for Ding Zhengyi to see his grandfather, who was usually a little serious, suddenly changed so much, he was stunned for a while, and he just let his grandfather laugh for a while.
"I heard that the clan you chose is to cultivate the spiritual field, right" Maybe he felt that the occasion was a little wrong, Ding Changshou looked at Xiao Qiu, who was probing his brain at the door, and stopped laughing and asked.
"Yes, I think it is quite suitable for cultivating spiritual fields" Ding Zhengyi also recovered from his stunned thoughts and hurriedly replied.
"Cultivating the spiritual field is beneficial to the control of the vitality, but there is a waste of cultivation time, I don't think you should cultivate too much, just one acre, this time I will give you a lot of rewards, it should be able to meet your normal cultivation for a period of time in the future" Grandpa seemed to ponder for a moment, and opened the package that had just been placed on the table as he spoke.
"Come and see what the clan has rewarded you" As soon as Grandpa's words fell, Ding Zhengyi couldn't wait to get closer, and saw two pamphlets in the open package, a few small flags one foot long, and a palm-sized jade pendant.
Ding Changshou picked up the booklet and patted the cover lightly: "These two books are the introductory classics of the talisman array, which contain a lot of experience records of the ancestors of the past dynasties, which are richer and more comprehensive than those taught in the clan science, you just need to study them carefully, and return them to the clan after three months." ”
Pointing to the remaining two things, he explained: "These are array flags for arranging formations, although they are only low-level magic weapons, they are much more valuable than the earth-shaking hoes refined in the clan, and they are for you to practice arranging formations." This jade pendant is a personal reward from the patriarch, this is an intermediate magic weapon, the value is not lower than my storage bag, the shield excited after being full of vitality can withstand the full blow of the monk in the late stage of qi training, and you can continue to fill it after the vitality is consumed, if it is not a limit on the total amount of filling vitality, it is completely comparable to a high-level magic weapon, which is specially used for your protection. ”
"In addition to these, before you are twenty years old, the clan will continue to subsidize you with half a catty of spiritual rice every day, so that you can cultivate with peace of mind. ”
Ding Zhengyi was dizzy when he heard this, and the whole person felt light, although he also looked forward to the family's reward, but the abundance to this extent was still beyond his expectations.
In the past, there were a few children of the family who had reached the middle stage of Qi cultivation at the age of sixteen, and the family generally rewarded a low-level magic weapon or more than 100 catties of spiritual rice, after all, the family background was very limited, and after deducting all kinds of necessary expenses, there was not much left of the remaining cultivation materials except for the supply of the family's core cultivation.
Ding Changshou was not surprised to see Ding Zhengyi Leng, when the second brother, who was the patriarch at that time, finally decided on the amount of reward, not only him, but even several other family elders were also surprised, because even if they were the status of family elders, except for a few people who had a relatively large hope of advancing to build a foundation, the family offerings obtained by others were also very limited, and they generally had to accumulate more than ten years before they could buy an intermediate magic weapon.
However, later everyone understood the good intentions of the patriarch, after all, there were very few monks in the family who had the talent of making talismans and arranging formations, and Ding Zhengyi's cultivation progress was not slow, if he could cultivate it smoothly, the effect on the family would be much greater than that of these elders who had completed their Qi cultivation.
Moreover, Ding Zhengyi is a descendant of the family, and he is also respectful when he meets them on weekdays, so several elders each gathered some spiritual objects, expressed their hearts to some extent, and handed them to Ding Changshou, who is also an elder of the family, and asked him to bring them to Ding Zhengyi together.
Thinking of this, Ding Changshou took out another package from the storage bag, and at this time Ding Zhengyi also came back to his senses and looked at the package in his hand suspiciously.
"This is a little bit of the heart of your four masters, a few of them and me, although it is not as good as the rewards in the clan, but it can also provide a lot of help to your cultivation" Ding Changshou stood up and put the package in Ding Zhengyi's hand.
"Work hard to cultivate, especially the practice of talisman making and array, don't let the family down, I still have something to do, I'll leave first" patted Ding Zhengyi on the back, and Ding Changshou went out and left directly.
Looking at the packages on his hands and on the table, Ding Zhengyi, even if he was old and steady, was moved to almost tears. But when I turned my head, I saw Xiaoqiu still standing at the door stupidly, looking like she wanted to come in but was a little hesitant, and she was almost amused again.
"Come in and help me get a package to the cultivation retreat room upstairs, let's take an inventory first" beckoned to Xiaoqiu, and Ding Zhengyi first picked up the package in his hand and walked to the second floor.
"Okay" Xiaoqiu rushed into the living room to pick up the package on the table, and followed Ding Zhengyi upstairs closely.
Coming to the cultivation meditation room on the second floor, the two of them each took a futon and sat down cross-legged, and the two packages were placed between the two futons.
Ding Zhengyi had never touched other low-level magic weapons before, except for the earth-shaking hoe that his father commonly used, let alone the array flag and intermediate magic weapons.
I just learned some knowledge of refining weapons in the family science, and I know that magic weapons are divided into low, medium and high three levels, the difference is that the magic marks sealed in them are more or less, less than three are low-level magic weapons, four to six are intermediate magic weapons, and seven to nine are high-level magic weapons.
As for the deeper refining principles and techniques, because of the time constraints, Ding Zhengyi didn't put much thought into the genealogy, he understood the truth that greed can't chew too much, since he had verified the talent of making talismans, he should put more effort into these two aspects.
Without thinking about it anymore, Ding Zhengyi picked up a formation flag first, and sensed that there were two spell marks inside, which were indeed much stronger than the earth-shaking hoe with a spell mark.
The refining of the spell mark took a lot of time, depending on the complexity of the mark ranging from a few hours to a few days, Ding Zhengyi roughly sensed the spiritual pressure of the array flag and put it down.
Pick up the jade pendant again and sense it, the divine sense penetrates into the jade pendant through the contact surface of the hand, and finds that there are five spell imprints in the jade pendant, forming a circle, which can sense that the spiritual pressure inside is much higher than the array flag, and then cast a spiritual eye technique, after careful observation and comparison, it is found that the difference in spiritual pressure is more obvious, worthy of an intermediate magic weapon, Ding Zhengyi happily held the jade pendant in his hand, and secretly decided to refine it as soon as possible to fill it with vitality.
"I don't know a lot of things" Ding Zhengyi raised his head and saw that Xiaoqiu had already sorted and placed the spiritual objects given by several elders, and was pouting and muttering.
"It seems that I have to explain some knowledge of cultivation resources to Xiaoqiu systematically, otherwise it would be quite strange for a monk not to know cultivation resources, but this is not in a hurry. Ding Zhengyi thought as he looked at the spiritual objects on the ground.
These spiritual objects are all common basic cultivation resources, there are several stacks of primary rune paper, two small boxes that should contain spirit ink, a rune pen, which looks better than what is provided in the clan science, two handfuls of quiet spirit incense, a few spirit fruits that have a weak effect on refining and blocking the spirit network, and more than ten low-grade spirit stones.
The total value of these spiritual objects should not exceed a hundred low-grade spirit stones, but they are exactly what Ding Zhengyi urgently needs, and it can be seen that the gifts given by the elders to Ding Zhengyi have also taken a lot of thought.
"Xiaoqiu, you take these two spirit fruits, eating them has a little auxiliary effect on the clogged spiritual network" Ding Zhengyi picked up the two spirit fruits and stuffed them into Xiaoqiu's hand.
"How can this work, this is a family reward for you" Xiao Qiu jumped up and prepared to walk out the door as she shook her hand.
"It makes sense to let you hold it, you have a spiritual aperture that only blocks one spiritual network, and dredge it is the qualification of the four spiritual apertures, the sooner you dredge your cultivation, the faster you can cultivate, and you can help me do more things when the time comes, and besides, I'm not bad at this spiritual thing" Ding Zhengyi stopped Xiaoqiu from continuing to walk out with his eyes.
"Really" Xiao Qiu showed a suspicious look, but at Ding Zhengyi's insistence, he still took the two spirit fruits.
"You haven't cultivated this morning, as long as the spiritual network recovers, you have to cultivate as soon as possible, and your cultivation is like this, which is accumulated bit by bit" For Xiaoqiu's cultivation, Ding Zhengyi stared very closely.
In fact, Xiaoqiu's cultivation is much harder than that of her mother Wu, but Ding Zhengyi is still afraid that she will be lax, so he will preach from time to time.
