Chapter 22: Heart-to-Heart Talk
Seeing that Tian Xu had cleaned up, Ziyan stopped chanting the Heart-Clearing Mantra, stretched out his hands from his sleeping bag, sat up, and asked, "Ning Dan?"
Tian Xu shook his head and said, "No, it should be a breakthrough in a small realm and a great achievement of gathering qi." ”
"But I felt so strange just now, I just felt that my whole body was completely suppressed by your momentum, and I felt that my whole body and mind were controlled by you, and I couldn't even have the slightest thought of resisting. I feel that if it weren't for the Pure Heart Mantra, I might have lost even my own mind. ”
"No, it won't. As long as there is a Pure Heart Mantra, all the momentum oppression below Ascension will have limited effect on you. Tian Xu said.
Ziyan was still a little curious about Tian Xu's realm, and asked, "I've never heard of such a big movement when others entered the Qi Gathering Dacheng, it's so strange." When I first saw you, how many steps did you gather?"
Tian Xu was also unclear about his realm, so he thought about it and replied: "The realm of qi gathering of ordinary people is divided according to ability, qi gathering, qi condensation, guarding the palace, external release, etc., after cultivating to the ninth order of qi gathering, there is no entry for a while, that is, it is called qi gathering Dacheng." The exercises I practiced were somewhat special, and the various abilities appeared relatively early, and they didn't appear in a regular order, so I didn't know my realm either. Now this kind of situation is specifically mentioned in the exercises, and it can be regarded as entering the great accomplishment of qi gathering. However, after Dacheng, before Ningdan, there is still a lot of room for improvement, so according to the traditional division method, it still cannot be regarded as Dacheng. ”
Ziyan couldn't help the curiosity in her heart and asked, "What is the name of this kind of exercise you are cultivating?" ”
Tian Xu didn't tell the truth, he just said that he got this exercise by chance, and after the trial, he felt that it was suitable for him, so he began to cultivate, and he didn't know the name.
Ziyan didn't delve into the name of the exercises, but when she thought of something else, she couldn't help but complain: "You guy, you will play hooligan on me at every opportunity." Why did you suddenly strip off your clothes just now, and in such a shocking way, that people don't even have time to close their eyes?"
Tian Xu hurriedly apologized: "I broke through just now, and I was forced out of a lot of sludge on my body, my clothes were dirty, and it was very uncomfortable to wear on my body. Besides, it's so dark now, you can't see it even if you strip naked, right?"
"You bad guy, you have some special eyesight, and you can see it at night. You look so ugly when you strip naked. Ziyan suddenly smiled evilly.
"Ah!" Tian Xu became nervous for a moment, Ziyan could actually see at night, and her smooth appearance just now was not all looked at by her, it seemed that she had suffered a loss, and this little girl still looked hurt. Immediately made a vicious appearance and said, "You took advantage of me and secretly looked at me all, and I want to get some interest back." ”
"Ahh In the past few days, she has keenly discovered that Tian Xu's 'seeing' of things in the dark does not seem to be affected. At this time, seeing Tian Xu approaching with his teeth and claws, he was a little panicked. Seeing him getting closer and closer, he immediately turned his heart sideways, hugged his hands in front of his chest, and said, "This girl is here, you have the ability to come." ”
Seeing that Ziyan didn't move, Tian Xu was a little at a loss, he put down his hands in a daze, and said, "I'm joking with you, it's not fun, forget it." Changing the subject, he said, "How is your aura combing? ”
Speaking of the recovery, Ziyan became excited and said, "There was progress every day in the past few days, and it was estimated that it would take at least four or five days to completely control the operation of the aura. But today, cultivating next to you, under your influence, coupled with reciting the Pure Heart Mantra out loud, the progress is very obvious. At this rate, one or two more experiences today may be able to move freely.
It turned out that Ziyan couldn't use her own aura in the past few days, and those aura in her body made trouble for her everywhere, making it a little difficult for her to even her usual daily activities.
And after cultivating tonight, she felt that she had strength for the first time since she was poisoned, so she took the initiative to sit up and had the spirit to fight with Tian Xu. When Tian Xu broke through just now, the olfactory imaging was naturally activated, and she had already noticed that most of the aura in her body could already run along the meridians, and less than one-third had not been subdued, so it seemed that it should not be too far from success.
Since their cultivation had reached this level, and the two of them no longer had the heart to cultivate, Tian Xu asked Ziyan to lie down in the sleeping bag again, sat beside her by himself, and consulted her about some matters in the cultivation world. Ziyan was born in the Kunlun Sect, the first major sect in the cultivation world, and her family history plus the fact that she has spent some time outside every year since she was twelve or thirteen years old, she knows the current situation in the cultivation world, as well as many anecdotes, and answers Tian Xu's questions without thinking, there is basically nothing she doesn't know.
Speaking of which, let's talk about today's four major schools. Tian Xu was very curious about the Shennong faction, he couldn't understand that the strength of the Shennongmen itself was so much, so how could Zhou Changtian dare to bully Ziyan like this, and not be afraid of Zi Wu's anger?
"Our Kunlun faction seems to be beautiful, but there are also a lot of hardships in it. There are so many cultivation resources in the natural world, and now there is nothing in the Qi Gathering Realm, just find a famous mountain and river with sufficient spiritual energy to meet the requirements of cultivation. However, after entering the realm of Ning Dan, the aura in this natural world could not meet the cultivation requirements, and he could only use pills or other elixirs or treasures with sufficient aura for cultivation. The number of elixirs and treasures is scarce, and the number of elixirs found every year is far from meeting the needs of the masters of the condensing pills in the major sects, which is why once the elixir appears, the various sects will compete at any cost. Otherwise, you can only rely on pills to cultivate. ”
"In the current cultivation world, the number of alchemists who can do alchemy is extremely rare, and most of them are concentrated in Shennongmen. Through alchemy, the aura in the elixir can be combined with the thin aura in nature, and this thin aura can be condensed into a small elixir for the cultivation of the masters of the Ning Dan realm. Therefore, Shennongmen, who has the ability to make alchemy, has become a special existence in the cultivation world. No matter what their strength is, the various sects will not offend them, otherwise once they cut off the supply of pills from this sect, the entry of the Ning Dan Realm masters in this sect will become a problem, and the decline of this sect will become inevitable. ”
"At the same time, the Shennong Sect has formed a good alliance with the help of pills, which can be said to be a response in the cultivation world, they can mobilize most of the cultivation sects to work for them, and they only need to provide a little more supply of pills for these sects. There is no need to even increase the supply, as long as you promise to keep the existing supply from being reduced, many sects will contribute to Shennongmen. ”
"There are not many masters of the Ning Dan Realm in most sects, and it is not too difficult to devote the strength of the whole sect to support the cultivation of one or two Ning Dan Realm. But in our Kunlun faction, there are seven Ning Dan masters that everyone knows, and as for whether there are still hidden masters, and how many, even I don't know. In order to maintain the cultivation needs of these people, our Kunlun Sect had to pay several times more resources than other sects in exchange for the necessary pills. What's more, there are differences in the demand for pills in different realms, almost every time a small realm is raised, the demand for pills will increase by about 50%, and the proportion of pills in the middle and high realms of our Kunlun sect is high, and the demand for pills will be more. In this case, unless it is absolutely necessary, my father will never tear his face with Shennongmen. ”
"Everyone says that I am the princess of the Kunlun faction, and I seem to have a lot of face. In fact, I was born to one of my father's concubines, and my mother died shortly after giving birth to me, so my position in the Kunlun sect was a little awkward. When my father was young, an inadvertent joke promised me to that week. In fact, at the beginning, Zhou Changtian still didn't look down on me. But ever since I was seen by him once when I was fifteen, he has been pestering me. Although I was not satisfied, I couldn't resist my father's wishes. ”
"Three years ago, Zhou Changtian agreed to withdraw from the marriage as long as we could take out thirty elixir-level gold ribbons because of the face of my father and his mother, Zhou Aiping, the master of Shennong. You must know that although this golden ribbon is common, it is basically invisible at the elixir level. Moreover, because this elixir-level golden ribbon has a special effect on cultivators, it can stabilize the realm and break the barriers to cultivation, and if it is used for alchemy, the effect is even more powerful, which can be described as the treasure of the cultivation world. The earth-level gold ribbon you gave us last time, I will take it to Shennongmen to withdraw from the marriage, and my senior brothers are very reluctant. I understand their thoughts, for the sake of these three earth-level gold ribbons, what if they give me to the Shennong Gate. It's just that they're too embarrassed to say it. ”
"It was precisely because of this incident that when I went to look for Zhou Changtian, my three senior brothers refused to accompany me on the grounds that they had received a summoning order from the master, so I had to go alone. If I hadn't met you, I'm afraid I would have confessed like this for the rest of my life. ”
"If the news of the birth of those three earth-level golden ribbons spreads, it will be enough for you and me to die a dozen or dozens of high-level people like this. Now that the things are in the hands of Shennongmen, they can be regarded as quiet. No one dared to go to Shennongmen for trouble. But you have to be careful, if you know that this thing has come from your hands, you can't guarantee that they won't come to you again. ”
Hearing this, Tian Xu finally roughly understood the power of Shennongmen. Regarding Ziyan's final warning, he didn't care too much: "With Aunt Xu's prestige here, there won't be many people who dare to come to me for trouble." The news of yesterday's battle with Shennongmen should have spread, and the murderous reputation of Aunt Xu's 'Tiekou Guanyin' behind me may also be stronger, and my safety will be better guaranteed. ”
