A year later, in the Immortal Yuan Palace, Zheng Changfa, who looked even fatter, looked at Zhang Zhiping with a smile, and said with some sighs: "Senior brother's cultivation has improved by leaps and bounds in the past year, and this speed is not weaker than those disciples of the Twin Spirit Roots." ”

At this time, Zhang Zhiping was wearing a Taoist robe, his expression was pleasant, and at a glance, he was really a handsome little Taoist priest. He was in a happy mood after listening to Zheng Changfa's words, and quipped: "Senior brother, are you disheartened? Then hand over the Immortal Yuan Hall to me, and you can go and cultivate well." ”

Zhang Zhiping couldn't help but think of the cultivation of the past year, although the cultivation of the meridians in the body is more complicated for immortal cultivators, but with the foundation of previous martial arts training, most of the meridians have already been opened, so he is more accumulating mana. Unexpectedly, his Five Visceral God could also control the spiritual root to absorb spiritual energy, so that he was cultivating all the time, and the accumulation speed of mana was greatly accelerated, and he soon broke through to the fourth layer of qi refining.

Hearing this, Zheng Changfa hurriedly waved his hand and said, "Go and go, don't joke with senior brother." Zheng Changfa is funny and kind, and the two have a good relationship this year.

Then Zheng Changfa shook his head and said: "One step is fast, one step is fast, and when the junior brother officially worships the teacher's name, he is one step faster than most of the outer disciples, what a good opportunity." ”

Zhang Zhiping immediately kept silent when he heard this, he now understood how lucky he was to be directly booked as a disciple by Yun Ming.

According to Li Zhenchang's introduction, there are 3,000 outer disciples in the entire Qingsong Sect, and the cultivation is at least in the middle stage of qi refining, but there are only more than 200 masters.

The two chatted for a while, making all kinds of jokes, and got along extremely friendly. Zhang Zhiping has always had a fear of death because he has experienced the infinite darkness after death, and later became much better under the soothing of his parents, but his heart is still full of urgency; until now he has embarked on the road of cultivating immortals, a road that can fight death, even if it is just the beginning, it has finally made him feel at ease. He has now gradually recovered some of the vertical and horizontal characters of the forum in his previous life, and has integrated the state of mind cultivated by years of reading and nurturing qi in this world, forming a unique temperament, which is somewhat cynical, but more interested in the world itself.

The two chatted for a while, and Zheng Changfa took out a long package and said, "This is the ritual that you should receive when you practice the third layer of qi, and in addition, at your request, I also put the jade slip of the mantra and the mudra method into it." Actually, you don't have to worry, you just need to learn some elementary spells now, and it's not too late to wait until the rest of your cultivation is high in the future. ”

Zhang Zhiping explained with a smile: "Now that I have reached the fourth level of qi refining, it is not a matter of time and a half to break through, now I am very interested in spells, and I may be able to break through soon." ”

Seeing this, Zheng Changfa shook his head and didn't say anything, and Zhang Zhiping also took the package and returned to his room.

If it is said that in the early stage of qi training, he still opened up the meridians like a martial artist, then in the middle stage of qi training, immortal cultivators have already begun to conceive and cultivate acupoints. Although a martial artist can also discover the existence of acupuncture points through internal vision, the internal force can only travel in the main meridians, and cannot specifically conceive and cultivate acupuncture points. And the soul of the immortal cultivator is strong, and the mana is easier to control than the internal force, so the immortal cultivator can control the mana to conceive and cultivate the acupuncture points. Of course, the strength of the soul of an immortal cultivator is not achieved overnight, it needs to be slowly conceived and grown with mana, and only after the soul grows to a certain point can the purpose of conceiving and cultivating acupoints be completed, which is also the bottleneck in the early stage of Qi cultivation and the middle stage of Qi refining.

Frequent study of spells also has a certain promoting effect on the soul, so Zhang Zhiping's reason is not unusual, but few people do it, and it is far less fast than accumulating spirit stones to buy a bottle of soul nourishing pill.

In fact, this was just an excuse, he was confident that he would break through to the middle stage of Qi refining in the next year, and he would only say this in order not to attract attention. And the reason for his self-confidence lies in the fact that the five visceral gods in his body can be described as superb, and the control of mana can be described as superb, and he has already reached the point of conceiving and cultivating acupoints, it is estimated that at most half a year, and when his own soul is also strong enough to a certain extent, he can easily advance to the middle stage of qi refining.

Zhang Zhiping also conducted a detailed study of the five visceral gods in his body during this year's time, and the first thing he discovered was the control of the spiritual root mentioned earlier, and under the condition that he did not deliberately cultivate, the five visceral gods could also automatically continue to cultivate through the spiritual root. He did an experiment and compared the cultivation without passing the Five Visceral Gods with the full cultivation through the Five Visceral Gods, and the difference between before and after was enough to reach six times, which was even faster than the legendary Heavenly Spirit Root, so he was able to cultivate to the fourth level of Qi refining so quickly.

In order to study the five visceral gods, he also deliberately looked through the evil book "Practicing Ghost Techniques" that he had secretly hidden. This evil law is very deviant, and the first cultivation is to constantly swim the internal force through the yin veins of the twelve righteous scriptures, and cultivate an extremely cold internal force. Ordinary people simply can't cultivate like this, because it will lead to an imbalance of yin and yang in the body, greatly reducing lifespan. But this evil method is to continue to cultivate this extremely cold internal force, the higher the cultivation, the closer to death, and when the cultivator is not far from death, his soul can barely leave the body and manipulate the soul power to a certain extent.

Then it is the means of sacrificing the five ghosts, selecting five people with strong souls, brutally killing them, and taking out the souls, and cultivating them in the five organs of the body according to the five attributes of gold, wood, water, fire, and earth, and finally forming the five elements and five ghosts. In the middle, the failure rate is very high, and it takes a large number of souls to be able to cultivate the appropriate five ghosts, so Wu Tieying will kill the thousands of people in Feiying Village.

After cultivating the five ghosts, the cultivator can use the five ghosts to cultivate yin qi, and eventually turn himself into a ghost cultivator, which can be regarded as taking the long path of immortality, and it is not impossible to walk on the avenue in the future after a few years. In Zhang Zhiping's opinion, this evil law undoubtedly provides a path of cultivation for those who do not have spiritual roots, but the five ghosts need a lot of blood food and soul every day, otherwise they will rebel against their master, and if they keep cultivating, they don't know how many people they will kill.

Zhang Zhiping's Five Visceral Gods have certain similarities with the Five Ghosts, but because the Five Visceral Gods are visualized by him and are extremely closely related to the physical body, they cannot leave the body, but in this way, they also cut off the possibility of the Five Visceral Gods backlashing. He learned many ways to control the five ghosts, and his control over the five visceral gods was greatly strengthened.

With the help of the five visceral gods, his ability to control mana, soul power, and physical body has greatly increased, and at present, he only allows the five visceral gods to control mana to conceive and nourish acupoints, and the control of the physical body allows Zhang Zhiping to perform many exquisite tricks in martial arts, and even control the body to make some unbelievable movements.

All in all, the Five Visceral Gods have been of great help to Zhang Zhiping's cultivation path, and he can't help but want to laugh every time he thinks of this, is this a plug-in for his own cultivation?

The reason why Zhang Zhiping insisted on getting the jade slip of the mantra syllable and the mudra spell was because with the help of the five visceral gods, he found that he had a great comprehension of spells, and the five visceral gods could even help the master chant incantations!

To use spells, immortal cultivators need to first chant spells to guide the power of the soul, and at the same time form a handprint in their hands to guide the mana in their bodies, and finally combine the two to use a complete spell. The whole spell casting process is very slow, which is extremely disadvantageous in the battle against time, so many monks gradually abandon the use of spells in battle, and use more convenient magic weapons. Especially in the later stage of cultivation, a monk can control the magic weapon and carry out multiple attacks during the time when another monk casts spells, and his combat effectiveness is far superior to that of the other party, so in addition to some low-level spells, many high-level spells have gradually been lost.

And Zhang Zhiping found that the five visceral gods can help chant spells, and the process of attracting the power of the soul and condensing mana can be completed in an instant in the body, and the spell can be directly instantaneous, which is undoubtedly a great plug-in, and the development prospects are also very optimistic, he naturally wants to maximize this advantage and learn more spells.
