At this time, the moonlight outside the house was like water, and there was tranquility in the quiet, and with the opening of the protective formation, the sound of "rustling" floating in the purple bamboo forest was particularly clear, and Ding Zhengyi stretched his waist and stood up.

Ding Zhengyi's busy cultivation throughout the year made him like a strong bow with a tight string, and he didn't dare to relax in the slightest, not only for fear of disappointing his parents' expectations and the love of his family, but also for himself to be able to maintain a relatively fast progress in cultivation and hope to step into that higher level.

Now that I have thoroughly combed through the cultivation during this time, I found that except for the forging body, all the other cultivations were still small achievements, and they basically met expectations, which finally loosened the string in Ding Zhengyi's heart a little.

There was a breeze blowing outside the window, warm and moist with a hint of refreshing fragrance, Ding Zhengyi naturally squinted his eyes slightly, enjoying this beautiful artistic conception.

"Brother Yi, can I come in" Xiao Qiu's crisp voice accompanied by the sound of brisk footsteps abruptly entered the cultivation retreat, pulling Ding Zhengyi back to reality.

"Come in" Ding Zhengyi adjusted his mood and pulled up a few array flags on the ground.

As the door opened, Xiaoqiu's small pink carved face was revealed, with clear and clear eyes with a smile, and there was a special spiritual charm.

"It's so late, why don't you rest" When Xiaoqiu walked into the cultivation retreat room, Ding Zhengyi looked at her with a puzzled look on his face.

"Not long after eating in the evening, grandpa came to the house and asked you to go to see the patriarch early tomorrow morning, as if there was something to tell you" Xiaoqiu didn't find a futon to sit down as usual, but stood next to the door and hurriedly spoke.

"During the interval between meditating and practicing qi just now, I saw that the protective formation on your side was closed, so I wanted to tell you first" Xiao Qiu paused, tilted his head and seemed to think of something again.

"Have you noticed any difference between me today" Without waiting for Ding Zhengyi to answer, Xiaoqiu said endlessly.

"It turns out that girl, you have advanced to the second layer of qi training" Ding Zhengyi easily stimulated the spiritual eye technique after Xiao Qiu finished speaking, and found that the spiritual pressure on Xiao Qiu's body was a little thicker, which was the performance of entering the second layer of qi training for the first time.

"Haha, I just broke through" Xiao Qiu overflowed with a bright smile, his eyebrows fluttered on his red face, and he stared at Ding Zhengyi as if to say, "Praise me."

"Yes, yes, my Xiaoqiu is really smart and clever, and his cultivation progress is no slower than that of the children of the same qualification in the clan science" Of course, Ding Zhengyi would not destroy this atmosphere, and praised it without hesitation, but then he still mentioned a few words according to the convention, which was nothing more than some points of attention and magic insights in the early stage of Qi cultivation.

After taking care of Xiao Qiu, who was still excited, continued to consolidate his cultivation, the corners of Ding Zhengyi's mouth involuntarily leaked a smile, Xiao Qiu was personally guided by him in cultivation, and now the progress is not slow, which also shows that his understanding of cultivation is more thorough from another aspect.

It didn't last long, and the confused expression covered the smile again, the second grandfather Ding Changming, as the patriarch and a monk in the foundation building period, usually practiced in retreat in the ancestral hall, and the juniors of the family rarely saw it except for the annual sacrifice, even when it was a sacrifice, because the distance between the two was quite far away, I didn't see any communication between him and the juniors, what did he want to tell him when he summoned him this time.

Ding Zhengyi thought for a while, but he still didn't understand the point, and then thought that he would see tomorrow anyway, so he didn't continue to dwell on it. When I came to the purple bamboo couch, I arranged the spirit gathering array with the array flag along the bamboo couch, and after all the spiritual energy in the formation was improved, I began to practice talisman making day after day.

Nothing was said all night.

"Get up, get up" A faint cry woke Ding Zhengyi up, and when he opened his eyes, he found that the sky was only slightly bright, and he woke up half an hour earlier than usual, because the talisman was in good condition yesterday, so he drew a few more and slept a little late, but the result is that he is still a little confused.

"What are you rubbing, come down for breakfast, and after eating, you have to go to see the patriarch. At this time, the voice of the mother Wu came again, much clearer than before.

Hearing that he wanted to see the patriarch, Ding Zhengyi woke up, and after a simple wash, he hurriedly rushed to the dining hall downstairs, his mother had already prepared breakfast, and he was talking and laughing with Xiaoqiu on the side.

Yesterday's rest was too late, Ding Zhengyi was indeed a little hungry, after saying hello to them, he grabbed the steamed buns on the table and ate them, and after a while, two steamed buns and a bowl of spiritual rice porridge entered his stomach.

Ding Zhengyi hiccuped, saw that it was already dawn outside the door, and estimated the time in his heart, feeling that it was time to go to see the patriarch. After talking to his mother who was eating, the Wu family had to explain a few more words, and Ding Zhengyi walked towards the family ancestral hall.

Half a cup of tea came to the door of the ancestral hall, and the ninth uncle of Ding Zhengyi was on duty at the door, and he cultivated in the later stage of Qi practice, although he usually did not have much contact, but he often encountered it in the clan.

Ding Zhengyi, who was far away, respectfully shouted, "Uncle Nine, good morning!", Uncle Nine didn't say anything when he saw him coming, just smiled and nodded to him, signaling him to go to the patriarch's cultivation retreat room in the backyard of the ancestral hall, obviously knowing in advance about the patriarch's search for Ding Zhengyi.

There was still more than a foot away from the cultivation retreat room in the backyard, Ding Zhengyi stopped, and was about to ask loudly, when a gentle voice came from his ear, "Just push the door in." ”

Hurriedly taking a few steps forward, Ding Zhengyi pushed open the door and walked into the patriarch's cultivation meditation room, the first thing that caught his eye was several rows of bookshelves facing the door, and the bookshelves were full of all kinds of classics.

"Patriarch, good morning!" Although Ding Changming did not deliberately exude the coercion of the foundation building monk, the huge gap in the level of cultivation still made Ding Zhengyi a little restrained.

Next to the bamboo couch not far from the bookshelf, the patriarch sat on the futon, holding a book in his hand and reading it with relish, and when he looked up and saw Ding Zhengyi coming in, he put the book in his hand on the bamboo couch, and after looking at him carefully, he said:

"Don't be nervous, you are the grandson of the fourth brother, just call me the second grandfather. The patriarch looked calm, picked up a cup of tea, and took a few sips.

"I called you this time to ask you how many fireball talismans can be drawn in a day without affecting your cultivation?"

"Now I draw more than ten talismans every hour, and I can make talismans for up to four hours a day, but the success rate is only more than thirty percent, so that the finished fireball talisman I get every day is about twenty" Ding Zhengyi pondered for a moment and replied cautiously.

"That's right, the family is going to organize a group of people to search for cultivation resources in the shallow sea in the south, for the sake of safety, they plan to have more spirit runes for self-defense, and they need at least a thousand or so in two months, the more the better. The spirit runes in the fang market have always been relatively tight, and if they are acquired on a large scale, they are easy to attract the attention of other forces, so you have to be a little tired in the past two months, and you will be a little tighter. There will be fewer casualties if there is more of a spirit rune, and the clansmen will go out to fight for the family, and the family will have to be responsible for their safety. There is enough stock in the Fu Mo and Fu Paper clan, you can find the fourth brother, that is, your grandfather to get it" The patriarch slowly stood up from the futon, paced around the room, and explained as he walked.

"Second grandfather, promise to complete the task. Ding Zhengyi roughly estimated in his heart, and the difficulty was indeed not great.

"Very well, do your best, do you know why I valued you so much before?" the patriarch stretched out his hand and patted Ding Zhengyi on the shoulder as a sign of encouragement.

"Is it because I broke through to the middle stage of Qi cultivation at the age of sixteen, and I still have the talent for talisman making and array formation?" Ding Zhengyi groped for the jade pendant on his chest and replied with a little doubt.

"What you said is not comprehensive, there are many children in the family who have various talents and qualifications, but they are not as stable as you, and they lack the persistence and perseverance to cultivate, and continuous persistence and extraordinary perseverance are precisely the necessary conditions for cultivation progress. The patriarch frowned, turned his head to stare at the bookshelf, and his voice was slightly muffled.

"I heard that you have also cultivated the "Qingyuan Body Forging Technique"? Refining the body is not an easy task, you have to endure a lot of unimaginable pain all year round, many people who practice the body forging technique can't bear this kind of inhuman torture, they all give up halfway, you can persist for a year, your willpower is really good. However, the monks who can forge their bodies are really amazing, not to mention that they can be invulnerable, invulnerable, rely on their physical strength to capture the evil wolf alive, tear the tiger and leopard alive, just to increase the toughness of the spiritual network, it makes the monk dream of it, and the improvement of the toughness of the spiritual network is of great help to the cultivation of qi. The patriarch's words suddenly turned, and a flash of inspiration flashed in his eyes, and then he shook his head and sighed lightly.

"But I've been practicing for almost a year, and according to the standards of the Body Forging Technique, I still haven't been able to meet the entry requirements, and there have been a few times when I have cultivated, and I have caused some internal injuries during cultivation, and it took several days of cultivation to recover. Ding Zhengyi was still thinking about the patriarch's previous discussion on perseverance and perseverance, and was immediately attracted by the words of the later refining body.

"The initial consumption of refining the body is not large, but because it is extremely difficult to get started, in addition to being able to bear the pain, the assistance of external forces is still very necessary, taking spirit fruits and demon beast meat and soaking in medicinal baths can reduce the difficulty of refining the body. These are three hundred-year-old spirit peaches, which are the most valuable of all the output of the family, and they are very effective for qi cultivators, whether it is to unblock the blocked spiritual veins or strengthen the spiritual body, you can use it" After the patriarch finished speaking, his face showed a look of reluctance, and he took out a jade box from the storage bag on his waist.

After handing the jade box to Ding Zhengyi, the patriarch stopped talking, but walked to the bamboo couch again, picked up the previous book, and pondered for a while before waving his hand and signaling him to leave on his own.

Ding Zhengyi held the jade box, saluted the patriarch and turned around to go out, silently walking towards home, but the excitement and excitement in his heart were like a flood that broke the embankment, stimulating his fragile nerves wave after wave, and the arm holding the jade box was also trembling slightly.

Ding Zhengyi, who is familiar with the classics, knows very well the preciousness of these spirit peaches, the centennial spirit peach is the spirit peach produced by the hundred-year-old spirit peach tree, which continues to grow on the branches for a hundred years, and its effect will become stronger and stronger as the year increases.

The lower grade spirit vein can support its growth for a hundred years, and these spirit peaches can grow for thousands of years in the middle grade spirit vein, and the thousand-year spirit peach will absorb the essence of the entire peach tree to complete the final transformation, becoming a spiritual object that is also quite hot for the monks of the Jiedan.

The Centennial Peach can save the monk several months of time by assisting in dredging the clogged spiritual network, and at the same time, the effect of strengthening the spiritual body is also very good, a spiritual peach tree is only three or five pieces in a hundred years, and each one is sold for hundreds of spiritual stones in the market, and it is often priceless, which is very rare.

And the thousand-year-old spirit peach under the guidance of the qi cultivator, it can dredge a whole blocked spiritual network in a few days, it is not an exaggeration to call it the supreme immortal fruit of the qi cultivator, but it is a pity that there is only one per thousand-year-old spirit peach tree in a thousand years, and the peach tree is destroyed, it is very precious, and it is definitely not something that a low-level qi cultivator can get.

After reviewing the information of the spirit peach in his mind, Ding Zhengyi returned home unconsciously, still in a state of extreme excitement, hurriedly said hello to Xiaoqiu, who was cleaning, and went into his cultivation retreat.
