In the tattoo hall, Gu Qingci's life was very easy.

In the first few days, Zhang Lin carved a few lines every day, and the rest of the time, it was all elusive, this old man had been worn out by the years, and he had to get by.

Later, he simply shook his hands and completely let himself go.

He said that before Gu Qing resigned, there were originally four people in the Wendian, but as a result, three people switched to the Formation Hall, leaving only Zhang Lin alone.

Most of the time, there is only Gu Qingci in the Tattoo Palace, he carves the Pattern Stone every day, and more time is spent practicing the "Tattoo Book".

The palace of the pattern is carved with hundreds of stones a day, all of which are the most basic lines, and the requirements are different every day, for example, today is the basic pattern of the fire system, and tomorrow it is necessary to the water system, and someone will come to pick it up in the evening, and by the way, the task of the next day will be issued.

This kind of task was easy for Gu Qingci, and he still had a lot of time to practice the Book of Tattoos.

Zhang Lin told Gu Qingci that it didn't matter if he didn't complete the task every day, because he never completed it.

The people who came to collect the pattern stone were all made of Buddha by this old man.

On the second day after Gu Qingci came to the Wendian, the task of the Wendian was completed unprecedentedly, which amazed the people who came to hand over the task, and it was able to be completed every day after that.

The Wendian is too suitable for Gu Qing's resignation, quiet, no one disturbs.

Zhang Lin gave him the task every day, and he didn't care, he wished that he was the only one left in the tattoo hall, and he was happy.

After more than two months in the Tattoo Palace, Gu Qingci had mastered the 20,000th basic pattern, and at this time, he could practice the combination of the pattern changes.

Combine multiple basic lines into a pattern, this is the combination of lines, and the combination of lines is the most mysterious essence of the lines.

Theoretically, any pattern can be combined, the same pattern, similar pattern, opposite pattern, can be combined, theoretically there are infinite combinations of combinations.

The various combinations of patterns are summarized in the "Book of Tattoos", and there are dozens of pages of general outline, which is very mysterious and obscure, and people like Gu Qingci who have mastered 20,000 basic patterns are only barely understood.

He needs a lot of practice.

So Gu Qingci carved a combined pattern on the ore, and by the way, he came to complete the daily task of the Pattern Palace, and at the same time, the cultivation of the basic pattern did not fall.

There are more than a dozen pieces of carved abandoned ore on the ground, compared to the Void Condensation, the carving on the ore is much simpler, Rao is like this, Gu Qingci still failed many times in a row.

A piece of cyan ore, Gu Qingci first carved out two basic patterns, which was the first step.

He abandoned the knife, the index finger of his right hand was crystal clear, and he used the condensation finger to draw a mysterious trajectory on the pattern stone, connecting the two lines, which is the most important step in the combination of lines, and it is also the essence.

The mutation occurred, and the textures of the two basic patterns fused to form a more complex pattern, and the power of them was also qualitatively improved.

The combination of patterns is not just as simple as one plus one equals two.

Gu Qingci formed a thunder pattern with two 'thunder' patterns, and this thunder pattern could not see the traces of the basic pattern.

Such a pattern is called a double pattern, and if it is composed of three lines, it is called a triple pattern.

Each weight of the pattern increases the power of the pattern, and similarly, the difficulty increases with each additional weight.

The basic pattern of a force is only 100 catties, but the nine-fold pattern of a force can reach more than 10,000 catties, and from the appearance, the texture of the nine-fold pattern may be more concise than the basic pattern.

He drew a basic pattern of thunder in the air, blooming a faint thunder light, which had no lethality, and slashed at the fist-sized ore, creating only a pitch black surface.

Gu Qingci triggered this double pattern, and a thin thunderbolt fell, and the ore was cracked, and pitch-black fragments were scattered all over the ground.

In addition, his "Dao Yin" has finally entered the third realm - the cultivation of bones, the meridians have been completed, there is no blockage, and the flowing qi is very pure, and there are still a few traces of spiritual energy in it.

His bones had been tempered by aura for a period of time, and there was a faint jade quality.

If the whole "Tao Yin" is cultivated, what will the body look like?

Gu Qingci was full of expectations.

"Dao Yin" is the foundation of Gu Qingci's roots, and "The Book of Tattoos" is the way to fight.

There is also a Spring Festival in this world, but Baiyun Academy does not have any New Year's atmosphere.

The longevity of powerful immortal cultivators is far more than that of mortals, and a retreat is based on years, and there is no point in celebrating festivals.

On New Year's Day, the sky was snowing heavily, the outer courtyard was covered in silver, and the world was white.

Gu Qingci returned from the Wendian Palace, and saw a person in front of the thatched house from a distance, who turned out to be Ning Mu.

This genius also carried a package and stood in front of the thatched door, did he come to pay New Year's greetings?

I haven't seen Ning Mu for a few months, and the aura on his body is a lot stronger, and his temperament is even more extraordinary.

"Gu Qingci, long time no see. Ning Mu took the initiative to say hello.

Gu Qingci looked at him blankly: "Ning Mu, we don't seem to know each other, right?"

Since Ning Mu was two years older than him and half a head taller, Gu Qingci needed to look up a little bit, which made him a little unhappy.

"Do you want a door-to-door business?" Ning Mu went straight to the point.

"Business?" Gu Qingci's eyes became even more confused.

In fact, he guessed in his heart that it was related to sleeping practice, and other than that, he really couldn't think of a place where the two could intersect.

"The guests came from afar, and it was freezing outside, didn't you invite me into the house to sit down?" Ning Mu said.

When he said this, his clothes were thin, and as a cultivator, he was not afraid of cold and heat at all.

But that's how he said it naturally.

It seems that the face of the practitioner has also been practiced.

Gu Qingci is not afraid of cold and heat, but he specially put on a big hat to hide that he is not afraid of cold and heat.

The two entered the room, and Gu Qing said politely: "Please take a seat." ”

But there was only one table and one chair in the room, so Ning Mu had to stand.

Gu Qing raised his hand, punched out a veined stone, and suddenly there was an extra chair in the room, he took tea leaves and spring water, and made a pot of tea with the veined stone.

The tea set is simple, the spring water is sweet, contains a hint of aura, and the boiling water vapor lingers in the house, dispelling the cold.

Ning Mu's eyes lit up: "Gu Qingci, I didn't expect you to cultivate a rare pattern. ”

Gu Qing smiled and said nothing.

Taking a sip of tea, Gu Qingci asked, "With the disparity between the two of us, I don't know what we can do?"

"I met you in the academy half a year ago, if I guessed correctly, the book in your hand at that time was the "Notes of Words and Spirits", right?" Ning Mu said.

Gu Qingci smiled lightly, neither denying nor confirming.

Ning Mu continued: "The book "Notes on Words and Spirits" is very out-of-the-way, and the core content is about how to sleep and practice, about this, I can be sure that Gu Qingci you must be ahead of me. ”

"I have to say that Ning Mu, you overestimated me, seeing and doing are two different things, sleeping and practicing this kind of thing is easy to go crazy, why are you so sure, I will definitely do that after reading the book?" Gu Qingci shook his head and said.

Ning Mu smiled on his face, he directly took out the package, and said in a low voice: "There are thirty spirit crystals here, according to the market price, the best cultivation method for the miscellaneous servants in the outer courtyard 'Secret of Clearing Souls' is only this price." ”

After a pause, he continued: "Gu Qingci, my current sleeping practice is only half of the usual effect, as long as you can make my effect increase, even if it is only one percent, this package is yours." ”

In the end, he said solemnly: "Don't worry, I swear in the name of the Ning family of the Spirit Desolate Ancient City that the content here today will not be known by a third party, so you can ...... it." ”

Before Ning Mu finished speaking, he saw Gu Qingci looking at his package with a demented expression, and there was saliva in his mouth, obviously not listening to the following words.

"Gu Qingci!"

Ning Mu had a headache, so he had no choice but to wake up Gu Qingci, only to see this guy say in a daze: "Thirty spirit crystals, did you say anything later?"

So Ning Mu had no choice but to repeat his previous words, and he stared at Gu Qingci tightly: "I don't know how efficient your sleeping cultivation is?"

"What kind of sleeping practice, you are looking for the wrong person. Gu Qing resigned.

"What if I have to give away these thirty spirit crystals today?" There seemed to be a dangerous light in Ning Mu's eyes, and at this moment, Gu Qingci felt that what was in front of him was not Ning Mu, but a very dangerous beast.

Today he didn't seem to have a choice.

"Although I don't practice while sleeping, I have read an ancient scripture that says that practicing while sleeping can have a seven-layer effect, but you also know that everyone's natural physique is different, and his method may not be suitable for you, and he will even go mad. Gu Qing was stunned, but he still insisted that he didn't sleep and practice, and said seriously.

"I still have this kind of awareness. Ning Mu said that he was 'convinced' by Gu Qingci.

"Then I'll write down the contents of that ancient scripture and see for yourself. Gu Qing wrote hard, while Ning Mu drank tea slowly.

After a while, Gu Qingci finished writing, and he handed the piece of paper to Ning Mu: "You can see if it's suitable for you." ”

Ning Mu took the paper and looked at it carefully, as he read deeper, a sudden look appeared on his face, and finally he put the paper away and said, "That's right, this is it." ”

Before leaving, he said to Gu Qingci: "There is also a Spirit Pattern Hall in the inner courtyard, but there are only ten people in it, far fewer than others, and most of them are bad old men. ”

"Oh?" Gu Qingci was the first time he had heard the news about the inner courtyard, and it was the Spirit Pattern Hall that he cared about the most.

"In Baiyun Academy, the status of the Spirit Pattern Master is actually very low, the tasks are heavy, and there are not many resources for cultivating immortals. It's not just Baiyun Academy, in fact, in the Immortal Cultivation Realm, Spirit Pattern Masters are all low-status groups. ”

"If your talent is good, I suggest that you still switch to the talisman or formation, although it is average, it is much stronger than the pattern path. Ning Mu said, after speaking, he turned around and left.

"Is it a formation or a talisman, listening to his tone, it is also of average status, slightly better" Gu Qingci shook his head.

The path of an immortal cultivator is his Dao heart, if the Dao heart is not firm and compromises because of reality, then the Dao heart will be dusty.

What's more, Gu Qingci practiced the "Book of Tattoos", and he had a kind of arrogance in his heart, and he was not interested in the two branches of the Tattoo Dao, the talisman and the formation.
