XVI. Breakthrough
A few days later, about seven or eight merchants from Hojing, including Qiu Yong, came to the door and held the first round of talks with representatives from the Shengyang Junfu.
Huang Chang no longer came forward directly this time, but was negotiated with Shengyangjun's staff - those people came to Shengyangjun's mansion after all, and it was enough to be an intermediary by himself, there was no need to take care of everything, and it was not good to be too enthusiastic. Moreover, with his ability to sense the emotions of his opponent at any time, it was really unfair to negotiate with those mortals. If people saw him come forward, they would probably retreat on the spot.
On the other hand, it is normal for the first negotiation to be unsuccessful. Shengyang Junfu needs external help, but the dignity and dignity of the prince's mansion cannot be lost, putting on a shelf and delaying for a period of time is a process that everyone can accept - if this kind of thing is not talked about for a year and a half, I am afraid that even those merchants themselves will not be at ease.
If the Shengyang Junfu quickly reached an agreement with them, the merchants themselves would be suspicious. Either they feel that this matter is unreliable, or they feel that the Shengyang Junfu is so eager, most likely because the foundation is too thin and cannot be supported by their own strength. After that, I am afraid that I will make higher demands, or simply quit.
Therefore, this matter was in a hurry, including Li Zhai did not join, so he asked several mortal staff members of the Shengyang Junfu to come forward to negotiate with them, at most occasionally ask about the progress, and did not urge, just talk slowly.
During this time, Huang Chang still poured his main energy into his own affairs, including his own and his brother Huang Xu's cultivation. After going down the mountain for more than half a year, I haven't practiced much seriously, and now I have resumed my work and rest on Kunlun Mountain again, and I have been practicing my homework twice a day in the morning and evening, and I can still see the effect in the short term.
His Shui Xing Technique, which had not been improving, had been improving by leaps and bounds in the recent period, and even the overall realm, which had always stagnated, the Seven Heavenly Pass, which had always felt impregnable before descending the mountain, seemed to have faint signs of loosening—but this sign had appeared a few times before, so it was not certain that it was an opportunity to break through the bottleneck, but in any case, it was a good thing to have signs.
And the bigger surprise came from Huang Xu's breakthrough - after only cultivating for more than ten days, he was actually able to sense the existence of heaven and earth aura and break through the induction level at one time! Although this speed is not as strong as Murong Ying's one-day breakthrough in the past, and there are also factors such as Huang Chang not hesitating to spend his own mana to continuously guide him, but even among the Kunlun disciples, it can be regarded as a quite outstanding achievement.
While Huang Chang was happy for his brother, he couldn't help but feel some emotion in his heart - Huang Xu's cultivation theory and cognition were completely derived from his own teachings, and his spiritual root talent and intelligence were not much different from his own. If he hadn't been hindered by the side effects of Su Hui in his previous life: "Seeing Obstacle", the time for him to break through the first level on the path of cultivating immortals should not be much worse than him.
After confirming that Huang Xu did indeed have mana in his body, Huang Chang took out a small bag and handed it to him.
"Ah Xu, this is a gift for you, but you have to keep it carefully, don't be easily exposed to others. ”
"Qiankun bag! I've wanted one for a long time, thank you third brother!"
Huang Xu happily took the bag - this was the storage bag magic weapon that Huang Chang originally bought from Senior Brother Ji of Baiyunfang. You have to use mana to open and use it, but fortunately, the mana consumed each time is not much, even if you are a novice monk who has just broken through the induction level, you can use it.
Perhaps due to the influence of the immortals he saw in his previous life, Huang Chang has always thought that it is a matter of course for immortal cultivators to wear storage bags. However, in this world, space props are obviously not that popular. It was only after several years that he had saved enough spirit stones to buy this first storage item. Later, although he got a better one, this bag is still quite a commemorative for him.
The predecessors planted trees, and the descendants enjoyed the shade, and Huang Xu now enjoys the treatment of the "second generation of immortals" - he has his own storage props just after entering the Tao. This may pose him some danger, encountering coveting snatching and the like. However, Huang Chang felt that compared to the great convenience brought by the Qiankun bag, this danger was still worth taking - with this bag, the richness and luxury of the various equipment and props that Huang Xu could carry with him could jump to a new level, and the ensuing combat effectiveness would inevitably be greatly improved.
Even if he competes with Li Zhai now, he may not be at a disadvantage - before those equipment items in the Qiankun bag are consumed, Huang Xu has the ability to challenge beyond the level!
............
The qi refining method recorded in the "Sword Sealing Demon Record" has no special requirements for the attributes of aura, and it can be cultivated anywhere, which is its advantage, but it also has disadvantages - the cultivation speed is slower and the mana growth rate is low.
Huang Xu is now considered to be a first-level realm of qi refining, and Kunlun Mountain does not teach spells at this stage, because the mana is still too shallow, and there are very few types of spells that can be cast. Even if it can be used, the power is very limited, and there is no point in learning it. Anyway, Kunlun Mountain is very safe, you don't have to rely on spells to save your life, improve the realm as soon as possible, and refining more powerful mana is the key.
But in the mortal nether realm, it is not so comfortable, and the cultivators who run the rivers and lakes here may encounter danger anytime and anywhere, and the sooner they cultivate spells, the better. In the "Demon Sealing Record", there are several small spells that can be used in the realm of Qi refining, although they are all very simple and rough auxiliary spells, but under certain conditions, they are still quite effective.
Limited to the rules of the Kunlun Gate, Huang Chang could not teach the spells he learned in Kunlun to outsiders, even his own brothers. But with his mind and knowledge, he analyzed and judged these small spells recorded in the "Sealed Demon Record", and after understanding their essence thoroughly, coupled with his own understanding of Kunlun magic, he taught his brother, which was still very easy.
For example, there is a magic method in "Sealing the Demon Record", which uses mana on the legs to increase the running speed. Huang Chang integrated his experience in cultivating Kunlun's "Little Qingfeng Talisman", and the Shenxing Talisman he taught to Huang Xu was mixed with some concepts of the West Kunlun Little Qingfeng Talisman, but it was much faster and lighter than the original.
Whether this is considered an indiscriminate spread of the Kunlun Dao Law, I'm afraid even the Law Enforcement Hall is not easy to judge, but according to the Kunlun faction's consistent relaxed style towards disciples, it shouldn't be minded. Huang Xu has a clever mind and learns quickly. In just a few days, he would be able to practice these spells that required mana to be driven in the martial arts arena attached to the Water Spirit Palace.
However, what constitutes the core of his combat effectiveness is all kinds of rune equipment, after all, the cultivators in the early stage of qi refining, the means of fighting the enemy mainly rely on martial arts.
