This is a small courtyard in the middle of the city, with a total of three rooms, and a tall plane tree in the courtyard. At this time, the sky was just dawning, and under the plane tree, a young man in a cyan robe was standing.

The young man looks ordinary, but there is a heroic spirit between his eyebrows.

In front of him was a small wooden table with a book open on it.

His eyes were fixed on the book, and his hands shifted to his chest.

"A, Chen, Ding, Xu. ”

With each gesture of his hand, a word came out of his mouth.

The movements in his hand suddenly stopped, and he shouted: "Dongfang Huanshen, the spirit of Yimu, is as urgent as a law, and the wind rises!"

Suddenly, a gust of wind blew in the courtyard, rolling up all the fallen leaves on the ground and turning them into a whirlwind.

The young man immediately clapped his hands and said, "I finally succeeded! I actually practiced this little basic spell Wind Summoning Technique for two days before I achieved it!"

This young man is Gu Changqing.

It's been nearly a month since he moved out of Taiyiguan.

After handing over the first Heavenly Dao Blue Talisman to Killing, he rented this small courtyard with the 1,500 yuan he obtained.

The annual rent of the small courtyard is 1,000 yuan.

Although it was more expensive, Gu Changqing felt that it was necessary.

He has too many secrets on him, and he must be guarded against.

Although this small courtyard is in the county, it is a relatively remote place, surrounded by textile factories, and the workers only go out once a month, which is very secluded.

In this month, he drew a total of ten Heavenly Dao Blue Talismans and received 15,000 yuan.

It was the first time he had seen so much money.

At that time, as soon as his mind was hot, he wanted to turn all the money into mana.

It's a pity that the mind mall didn't go as he wanted this time.

The fifteen thousand coins were still in his hands, and they had not been reduced to ashes as before.

At first, he thought that the mall in his mind was invalid, and he hurriedly turned a hundred coins into mana, but this time the mall in his mind did what he wanted.

Immediately afterward, he turned a thousand-dollar treasure note into mana, and the result was still viable.

After thinking about it for a long time, there is only one possibility.

That is, there is a limit to the mana value of the Mind Mall.

It cannot exceed 10,000, including 10,000.

This made Gu Changqing have another thought.

He immediately went to the Dao Treasure Pavilion and bought a book on Taoist rank and mana annotations.

The Commentary on the Taoist Sutra is not part of the Taoist Scriptures, it is an encyclopedia about Taoist priests and mana.

It was written by Zhang Sanfeng, the ancestor of Wudang a hundred years ago.

The content of the book is the most comprehensive explanation of Taoist priests and mana so far, so far the imperial court has only printed three editions, which is relatively precious, and has always been a classic book treasured by the upper class.

Even though it was very painful, Gu Changqing had to spend these three hundred dollars in order to learn more knowledge.

By reading this "Commentary on the Dao Zang Sutra", Gu Changqing understood what he had not figured out all along.

The so-called Taoist grades are divided into nine grades, which are distinguished by the grades of the Taoist priests.

But how do you distinguish the grades of the Dao Basket?

Gu Changqing didn't understand until now.

Generally speaking, after a monk has passed the examination of the Dao Gong Division, he will be awarded the real Dao Urn, that is, the Jade Dao Urn.

At this time, the Dao Gong Division will carve the handle of the Nine Rank Dao in the Dao Urn, and this person will become a Nine Rank Daoist.

As we all know, if a nine-grade Taoist priest wants to be promoted to an eight-rank Taoist priest, he must be promoted by the Dao Gong Division, that is, the handle of the eight-grade Dao must be engraved in the Dao Urn.

However, there is a premise for this.

It's not like you can carve your Dao Gong with the handle of the Eight Rank Dao Dao.

When the mana value in the Nine-Rank Daoist Dao Urn must reach 10,000, the Dao Priest can engrave the handle of the Eight-Rank Dao.

That's the premise.

When the mana in the Dao Basket reaches the standard, the Dao Jar Division will let you be promoted.

Therefore, the amount of mana is the standard for the division of Taoist ranks.

If the mana value is more than 1,000, he is a nine-grade Taoist.

The mana value is more than 10,000, and he is an eight-grade Taoist.

The mana value is more than 100,000, and he is a seven-grade Taoist.

And so on.

According to Gu Changqing's understanding, there is also a grade in the mind mall.

This rank is equivalent to the nine grades of the Taoist priest.

In other words, the Mind Mall is currently only nine grades, and it can only carry nine thousand nine hundred and ninety-nine mana points at most.

Therefore, turning fifteen thousand coins into mana in one go, the Mind Mall directly refused.

As a result, Gu Changqing discovered a fact that is usually ignored.

That is, in order to pass the assessment of the Dao Gong Division, the mana value must exceed one thousand.

In fact, it is not ignored, in fact, it is common sense.

It's just that Gu Changqing only had a fake urn a month ago, and he hasn't thought about it seriously all along.

This is the reason why it takes three or five years for many people who have Dao Hearts to pass the assessment of the Dao Priest.

They had to spend time cultivating mana until they had accumulated more than a thousand mana.

Gu Changqing was worried about this.

Time waits for no one, and the assessment of the Dao Gong Division will be carried out in October.

According to Gu Changqing's speed of cultivating "Five Thousand Words", even if he didn't eat, drink, or sleep every day, and only cultivated mana, it would take him twenty days to have more than a thousand mana.

If only the mana in the mall in my mind could become the mana in the Dao Urn.

He thinks about it, and he does it.

Who knows how successful he really was.

He turned all the 1,100 mana points in his mind into the wooden Dao Urn.

It made him ecstatic.

Since then, he has saved himself from the daily hard work of reciting the Taoist Sutra to cultivate mana.

However, it is not so easy to pass the assessment of the Dao Gong Division.

The content of the essay examination is three basic spiritual runes and three basic spells.

The examiner will be randomly selected from the "Daozang Charm Collection" and the "Shangqing Dao Sutra".

Therefore, Gu Changqing had to master all the basic spells and spells in the two Dao Sutras before the assessment.

Making spirit runes and releasing mana does not mean that you can immediately learn it after reading it once, and it also requires repeated practice.

Therefore, in the past month, Gu Changqing has stayed at home, drawing talismans and practicing spells at the same time.

Strive to learn the basic charms and spells in both Taoist scriptures.

Moreover, he no longer uses the mana in his mind mall now.

After he converted the treasure money into the mana of the Mind Mall, he immediately transferred it to the wooden Dao Urn.

Every spirit rune he drew and every spell he released was mana drawn from a wooden Dao urn.

Using the mana in the mind mall, this is a danger, maybe there will be a master to see the clue, and it will be very bad to involve the mind mall when the time comes.

Since the mana in the mind mall can be transferred to the wooden Dao Urn, then only the mana in the wooden Dao Urn will be used in the future, which is the safest method.

By selling the Heavenly Dao Qing Talisman, Gu Changqing got a huge sum of money, and he asked Fa Xiao Zhao Tianlong to bring a thousand yuan to his family.

The reason why he only gave his family a thousand yuan was not because he was stingy.

An ordinary family suddenly has a lot of money, which will arouse suspicion, and may even attract the covetousness of the young people.

He had to be cautious.

In the future, when you have an identity, you will give money to your family openly, and you won't have to worry a lot.

In the past month or so, he has received a total of 15,000 yuan, excluding the cost of copying the ten heavenly dao blue and dark talismans, plus 1,000 yuan for renting a house and 1,000 yuan for his family, as well as 300 yuan for the purchase of the "Commentary on the Dao Zang Sutra".

There are also 1,100 coins that turned into mana after getting the money.

He still has ten thousand and one hundred dollars left.

Looking at the money in his hand, Gu Changqing looked excitedly at the Mind Mall.

Although the Mind Mall had it a year ago, he didn't look carefully at the items inside because he was shy in his pocket.

He was afraid that he would not be able to resist the temptation and do something ridiculous.

Today, with a huge sum of money, I can finally have a good look.

[On the first day of the Lunar New Year, I wish you all good health and all the best!]
