Chapter 16: The Eve of the Meeting

Back at home, Ding Zhengyi took the spirit rune materials in Xiaoqiu's hand and let her go to the cultivation retreat room alone after she went to practice.

Sitting cross-legged on the futon, recalling what his grandfather said at the end, Ding Zhengyi had a rough guess in his heart.

It's nothing more than that either the family's demand for spirit runes is more urgent, or the miscellaneous office will soon have spiritual objects that are more useful for low-level monks for the clan to exchange.

After thinking about it for a while, Ding Zhengyi felt that these things had little to do with him, and he decided to follow his own plan for follow-up cultivation.

Of course, drawing more spirit runes was originally in his plan, and Ding Zhengyi's goal was to draw at least thirty times a day.

Today's morning class cultivation has been completed, Ding Zhengyi did not hesitate any longer, came to the bamboo couch, arranged the spirit gathering array, arranged the rune paper and rune ink respectively, picked up the rune pen, and began to draw the fireball rune.

In the next ten days, Ding Zhengyi focused on practicing qi to improve his cultivation, and the rest of the time was also used to make talismans as much as possible, and more than 400 materials drew more than 200 fireball talismans, and the success rate of talismans had reached about fifty percent.

In the process of making talismans, I also had a flash of inspiration, and tried to draw a few light talismans, and the rune rate was about thirty percent.

It seems that the talisman making skills are universal, but because the value of the light talisman is comparable to the fireball talisman, the practicality is far inferior, so Ding Zhengyi didn't draw more, and after getting five light talismans, he continued to draw the fireball talisman.

There was no progress in the practice of the formation for the time being, and Ding Zhengyi could only make a little calculation and comprehension when he set up the required spirit gathering array in his daily cultivation.

Because of the assistance of Cui Yuanzao, the progress of the refining body is not slow, but compared to the rapid improvement of the Centennial Spirit Peach, it is much worse.

Because of his father's presence in the cultivation of the spiritual field, Ding Zhengyi only needs to spend half an hour every day to perform the spiritual rain technique, which can meet the watering of two acres of spiritual field, and the spiritual rain technique has been cultivated to the extreme, and there is no room for improvement.

On this day, Ding Zhengyi was meditating and cultivating as usual, and suddenly his soul throbbed slightly, and after looking inward, he found that there was another cyclone in the dantian, but it was much thinner than the original one, and the fifth layer of qi training broke through so naturally.

However, the perception of the outside world is completely different from the past, at this time, everything in the cultivation meditation room in Ding Zhengyi's eyes has become clearer, and some subtle things that he didn't pay attention to seem to have been magnified all of a sudden, and even the slender bamboo threads in the corners of the bamboo couch can be seen clearly.

The sensitivity of hearing has also been enhanced, and the sounds that have been heard before outside the window, as well as those that have not been heard, are all heard clearly under Ding Zhengyi's calm breath, such as the "rustle" sound of the Qingjia cow chewing the stalks of Lingmi more than ten zhang away, and the whispers of the mother and Xiaoqiu downstairs also seem to sound in his ears, real and clear.

and the fragrance of lotus flowers from the tip of his nose also made Ding Zhengyi realize that his sense of smell was more keen.

The different feelings brought about by the improvement of cultivation should be related to the sublimation of the divine soul caused by the transformation of the vitality, and the condensation of the divine soul makes a leap in the level of life.

Ding Zhengyi was distracted for a moment, then he withdrew his divergent thoughts, and the fluctuation of his mind was far less than that of breaking through to the middle stage of qi training, and after a soothing of a stick of incense, he completely regained his calm, and continued to run the "Qingyuan Decision", constantly guiding the vitality of the spiritual aperture refining and refining it into the new cyclone that appeared in the dantian.

By the time the spirit network was faintly painful again, and he could no longer absorb the aura of heaven and earth, Ding Zhengyi had already stabilized the cultivation of the fifth layer of qi cultivation a lot.

After finishing the work, he stood up from the futon, Ding Zhengyi was about to go downstairs to have a look, and when he broke through just now, he overheard that his mother and Xiaoqiu were going to prepare lunch to entertain the guests.

This is when Ding Zhengyi reacted, today is the day when he invited a few monks from familiar families to come over for a gathering, this kind of gathering is not very helpful for cultivation, it is more to contact the feelings between relatives and exchange some information.

In the past, Ding Zhengyi only occasionally participated in this kind of gathering, but after breaking through the middle stage of Qi cultivation and improving his talisman level, whether it was a few brothers and sisters who were familiar with him before, or some uncles and uncles who moved around less, everyone would often invite him to go.

In various gatherings, Ding Zhengyi got to know many key members of the family, especially several uncles and brothers who were not much different in age and had similar interests and hobbies, and they had more contacts.

The Ding family's seniority is applicable to the hundreds of monks of the entire family, which reflects a family atmosphere of respecting the elders and loving the young, and is also a means to increase family cohesion.

However, there are only dozens of monks of the same generation who can have rankings, and although these rankings are all in order of age, there is a premise that the cultivation qualification must reach the four spiritual apertures.

Monks with rankings are the core strength of the family, and they will be recorded separately in the family tree, although there is not much difference in treatment between monks and low-qualified monks on weekdays, but the family's attention will definitely be much stronger.

Although his father is also a family member, because of his poor cultivation qualifications, he has not been ranked in the "loyalty" generation, and the uncles that Ding Zhengyi usually calls in the clan are compared with his father's age, which is also the practice of the family.

My father was occasionally a little disappointed, but the heavy work left him no time to complain.

After all, the cultivation qualification is innate, and Ding Zhengyi often hears him comforting himself at home, mostly saying that it is much better than the clansmen who have no spiritual aura, at least he can experience the sense of control that the monk releases spells and manipulates the aura, which those ordinary people can never experience.

Accidentally thought about it for a while, it was almost noon at this time, Ding Zhengyi shook his head, left all these behind, opened the door and walked downstairs.

As soon as he reached the staircase, Ding Zhengyi heard his mother's voice assigning Xiaoqiu.

"Xiaoqiu, you go to the purple bamboo forest to dig some bamboo shoots, I will go to the small lotus pond to catch a few green crucian carp, it's not too early, go your separate ways." ”

"Holo"

Xiaoqiu didn't procrastinate, and a cheerful and crisp voice followed.

Without waiting for Ding Zhengyi to walk out of the stairs, he saw Xiaoqiu holding a round bamboo basket in his left hand and a small shovel in his right hand, running towards the bamboo forest.

"Wait for me, I'll go too"

Ding Zhengyi looked at Xiao Qiu, who was not much taller than the bamboo basket, and hurriedly walked a few steps to catch up with Xiao Qiu.

Hearing the voice, Xiaoqiu turned her head reflexively, and saw that Ding Zhengyi had already walked behind her, casually threw the small shovel into the bamboo basket, and dusted the invisible dust on the side of her skirt with her right hand, looking like a little adult.

"Oh, Brother Yi's cultivation has improved again!"

Feeling that Ding Zhengyi was still a little fluctuating because he had just been promoted, Xiaoqiu Laocheng's image was not maintained, and collapsed in an instant, and his little hand grabbed Ding Zhengyi's arm, as if he wanted to see it clearly.

"It's just a matter of course, don't make a fuss, let's go quickly" Ding Zhengyi patted Xiaoqiu's head, regardless of her surprised and unusual expression, pulled her and continued to walk towards the bamboo forest.

The bamboo forest is not far away, and it is not big, Ding Zhengyi often comes, but it is the first time to dig bamboo shoots.

Standing in the bamboo forest, Ding Zhengyi was a little dumbfounded, because when he looked at it, there was no trace of bamboo shoots in the bamboo forest except for the adult purple spirit bamboo.

"The bamboo shoots are all underground, and they can grow up soon after they are unearthed, and it depends on me to dig the bamboo shoots" Xiaoqiu rarely saw Ding Zhengyi's deflated appearance, and the sense of superiority suddenly climbed to her face.

Then Xiaoqiu explained several points of finding purple bamboo shoots while digging, such as observing the ground according to the direction of the bamboo branches of the purple spirit bamboo, to see if there is a slight bulge and loosening on the surface.

When digging bamboo shoots, you should choose the purple spirit bamboo with lush branches and thick purple bamboo leaves but a small number of yellow leaves as the object of looking for bamboo shoots, don't dig too hard when digging bamboo shoots, keep the soil along the line, don't dig up the bamboo shoots and so on.

Ding Zhengyi watched Xiaoqiu skillfully digging bamboo shoots, listening to her various explanations, and couldn't help but sigh, everything is really practice makes perfect, which is the same as cultivation.

Although his current cultivation is much higher than Xiaoqiu's, and his experience is not comparable to Xiaoqiu's, but at this time, if there is no guidance from Xiaoqiu, it is really not easy for Ding Zhengyi to complete it smoothly alone.
