Chapter 6: Cultivation
Most of the miscellaneous tasks revolve around the five main peaks, that is, the outer disciples who do miscellaneous work, those who do rough and tiring work, and those who serve the inner disciples.
Under normal circumstances, it is three years of miscellaneous labor, either through the assessment to enter the inner gate, or unqualified to be repatriated, only a small number of people like the horse gang who enter the qi refining layer and cannot break through to become the official disciples of the inner gate, but who perform better and do not want to go home will stay in the sect, or send some fixed secular tasks outside.
The triennial entrance examination is actually a replacement of new and old miscellaneous disciples. New disciples come in, old ones leave, and hope and disillusionment appear at the same time.
If you can't become an inner disciple within three years, the immortal path in this life will be at the top.
Except for geniuses such as Wang Bao who were directly selected into the peak, most of them were miscellaneous laborers, who could go further and who could stand out, everything was unknown.
For ease of management, there are canteens and accommodations under each main peak.
Except for the miscellaneous tasks that are far away from the main peak, these disciples can only collect their own items and cook to solve the problem.
Originally, Yu Ping and they belonged to such a situation.
It's just that since Jin Ha and the others came, the stove has also been dismantled, and they don't know where they threw the pot, and it is even more impossible to eat with Yu Ping.
Yu Ping didn't bother to remember, so he had to trouble going to the cafeteria for the time being.
Climbing up along the stream, Yu Ping is already familiar with the road.
With Yu Ping's current martial arts skills, it is still effortless, although his own internal strength and mental method cannot be used to fight, but he can strengthen his body and be as light as a swallow.
There was no road by the stream, so it was all up and down like a monkey.
For more than a quarter of an hour, I saw green smoke rising from large flat houses at the foot of the misty Zifeng Mountain. Further up, even the stream seems to be cut off and gone, and the fog makes it impossible to see clearly, but in fact, the formation of the main peak covers everything.
"When will I be able to walk into the main peak? Yu Ping muttered enviously.
It's just that the token of the miscellaneous disciple can't enter the five main peaks, and he can't see the scene inside the main peak clearly, which is only a hazy piece of gray ground that has been evolved by the formation.
When I came to the door of the cafeteria, there were a group of three or five, and there were many people who came in and out talking and laughing, and no one would pay attention to Yu Ping's arrival.
The food is very poor, there is less meat, it is just a little meat foam, and Yu Ping thinks that it is okay to start eating such food, but after eating for a while, he will find that he will be hungry after eating for a while, as if he has not eaten.
"This food doesn't treat us as human beings at all. ”
"It's so unfair, it's better to cultivate immortals, I'm sorry! Many miscellaneous disciples complained.
Yu Ping listened carefully to the conversations of the people next to him while eating, not only about food, but also about work tasks; some were happy, and some were talking about bitter faces, after all, each kind of miscellaneous work was different, and it didn't matter if it mattered, it could only be assigned some relatively heavy and tiring work with more time.
"This sect is just as unfair. Yu Ping thought as he listened.
Yu Ping just ate calmly, and there were many people who sat alone like him, probably disciples who were out of tune or on a separate chorescent task, and the gray robe was blue and colorful, and everyone was not very familiar with it, and the voice of the voice was as mixed as a bazaar, but no one paid special attention to Yu Ping's existence.
"I don't know when I'll be able to make my own game. Sighing, Yu Ping couldn't help but think of Zhang Hu.
"Huzi should be doing well!"
After Yu Ping finished eating, he then came to a house outside the cafeteria with an item application written at the door, and the room was next to a table and an empty chair at the door, and behind it were rows of shelves with only one passage, and the shelves were stuffed with items.
Seeing that there was no one, "Is the senior brother on duty there?" Yu Ping shouted as he stood at the table.
As soon as the words fell, a fat and unkempt gray-robed disciple emerged from the middle of the middle shelf, with a gloomy face on his round face.
But after seeing Yu Ping clearly, the round eyes on the small nose narrowed into a slit, and the small mustache rose with the shang, like a profiteer who had been in the mall for a long time.
"Yu, it's Senior Brother Yu who is here, I'm just taking care of it for others, I'm not familiar with it for the time being, and I'm neglecting Senior Brother. Laughing while talking, if outsiders see this, it's like seeing an acquaintance reunited after a long absence.
Yu Ping looked confused, and there was no reason for countless circles in his mind.
"Why don't I remember seeing this fat man?" Yu Ping thought secretly.
As if he could guess Yu Ping's thoughts.
"Senior Brother Yu, I'm Yao Shaosi, we all tested together, it just so happened that I tested it after Wang Bao and you, so I know you, my miscellaneous tasks are divided in Zifeng Mountain, this brother who is not responsible for distributing items has something to do, I will do it for a few days, hehe!. Yao Shaosi explained naturally.
"Oh, Brother Yao, I didn't recognize it just now, hehe! I want to get some items. ”
Yao Shaosi seemed to be able to register the items for Yu Ping as if he could do it himself, and at the same time shared the information, including the matter between Yu Ping and Wang Bao, where Yu Ping shared the task, etc., Yu Ping answered the matter with Wang Bao in a mock manner, and his own medicine field task only said that he was planting and guarding the area a little far from here, and the miscellaneous tasks of Zifeng Mountain were basically based on the cultivation of medicine fields.
I learned a lot of things from Yao Shaosi, like Wang Bao, Xiao Yan, and Peng Chu, the three genius disciples were naturally brought to Tianfeng Mountain by Ma Zhengyang, the peak master of Tianfeng Mountain, that is, Ma Zhenren, who was the presiding officer on duty, and became inner disciples or personal disciples.
The test in the sect once every three years is presided over by the five peak masters, and three favorite disciples can be selected to enter the peak first.
Luoxia Sect is also divided into five main peaks, Tianfeng Mountain's main sword path, Zifeng Mountain's main Dandao, as well as Qingfeng Mountain's main array talisman, Jinfeng Mountain's main refining weapon and Taifeng Mountain's five main peaks.
This year's pass rate is several times that of the past, as long as the spiritual root reaches six feet, it will be divided by the rest of the main peak, one per peak, if in the past, as long as the spiritual root reaches more than five feet, it can also be selected to the main peak, and directly pass the treatment of the inner door or even the disciple in person.
This year, in addition to the three highest geniuses of Tianfeng Mountain, there are also Yang Chunquan of Zifeng Mountain, Liang Taobo of Qingfeng Mountain, and Ouyang Junjie of Jinfeng Mountain. Originally, Xiao Yan, who was a genius-level wood spirit root this year, could go to Zifeng Mountain, but later I didn't know that it was Zifeng Mountain's main Huo Liantian and Ma Zhengyang for something, so he insisted that Ma Zhengyang left Xiao Yan in Tianfeng Mountain. Sect Master Peak didn't seem to have chosen a genius disciple.
Listening to Yao Shaosi's yearning, Yu Ping could only smile bitterly at this, the same person has a different life, but fortunately, he also entrusted Wang Bao's blessing.
"Brother Yao, I want to inquire about someone, I don't know if you have any news about this. Yu Ping asked.
"Wrap it around me. Yao Shaosi patted his fat chest and agreed,
I learned from Yao Shaosi that there was indeed one person in Bai Chang who supported him in the back, that is, Ouyang Junjie of Jinqingshan, and Ouyang Junjie even had an uncle in Luoxia Sect.
"I see. Yu Ping sighed.
I am still closed to the news by myself, and I will have to contact Yao Shaosi in the future.
"Brother Yao, I will help you a lot in the future. ”
"Where, where, if you have something, just look for me. ”
The two quickly became acquainted.
......
The evening sunset did not have time to set on the Falling Cliff Mountain, and the Falling Xia Sect seemed very quiet.
After Yu Ping bathed and changed clothes, he sat cross-legged on the bed and started the first new exercise operation.
When he was still in Qingshan Town, Old Master Guo repeatedly warned Yu Ping that he must take it seriously when he cultivated, but he never taught Yu Ping martial arts, nor did he think about what Old Master Guo taught about martial arts, but Yu Ping kept in mind Old Master Guo's words, and the habit he had developed in the past few years, every time he practiced, he had to get rid of distracting thoughts first, calm down and cultivate, so as to get twice the result with half the effort.
Yu Ping was sitting cross-legged on the bed meditating.
The sound of "bang-bang" kicking sounded so loud that even the wooden door vibrate.
"Yu Ping, open the door quickly. ”
"Is there anything wrong with the two of you?" Yu Ping opened the wooden door unhappily, and the two Jinjuan were standing in the doorway, smiling evilly.
"Haha, what do we have to do, we just want to invite Brother Yu out to chat, how beautiful are the stars in the sky?" said Jin Juan shamelessly.
"What else?" asked Yu Ping sharply.
"Why, I'm not happy!
It's just that this golden scroll hasn't spoken yet, only two sounds of "pop! bang!" were heard.
"You hit me, alas, my teeth, black hair. Golden Roll covered his face and fell to the ground and roared.
"You, you still dare to hit someone. Hei Mao shouted, looking at Yu Ping, who was bigger than himself, but was put to the ground by Yu Ping, just staring at Yu Ping and not daring to make a move.
"This is the first time, and the last time, and tomorrow morning, I want to see that the stove on the floor is good, or the pot is good, do you understand or not?" Yu Ping stepped forward and kicked the golden scroll on the ground again, but the words were said to Hei Mao.
Yu Ping had already used his own internal strength just now, put his internal force in his hand, and when the golden scroll was not careful, he made the first move, and after slapping him in the face, he kicked him away.
The golden scroll on the ground, I only knew that I was humming in my mouth, and I didn't know if I was beaten stupid by Yu Ping, or if I really only hummed left, but the black hair was completely calmed down, and I saw his feet kneeling down and said: "Senior Brother Yu spares his life, we just have no choice, and we won't dare in the future." ”
He kowtowed as he spoke.
The golden scroll on the ground was even more stunned, only to see that his eyes were closed, and he wanted to die.
"How could we get into trouble with such a ruthless person......"
Sure enough, whoever has the biggest fist has the right to speak, and after that, Yu Ping never heard the snoring on both sides.
Luoya Mountain was quiet again, but Yu Ping was very irritable.
The operation line of the first layer of the basic qi refining layer has been remembered to be ripe, but it is different from the operation of its own internal strength, its own internal power is to run the twelve positive veins, and then to open up the eight veins of the Qi Sutra; as long as the dantian is opened, there is true qi staying in the dantian is a sign of entering the first layer of qi refining, and then it is slowly stored to expand the entire dantian, and the second to eighth layers of the qi refining layer are based on the quantity, and the ninth is full; In the gas refining layer, The third and seventh layers of qi refining are each a hurdle, and it will be smooth sailing if they break through, but Yu Ping is worried about how to enter the qi refining layer, not to mention the three and seven layers, Yu Ping didn't even touch the threshold.
Within three years, you must break through the first hurdle and reach the third layer of qi refining, and the inner disciples are also based on this standard, only those who break through a hurdle are eligible to become official disciples, like the horse gang, they have been staying in the second layer of qi refining and have never broken through, and the older they are, the more difficult it is to break through.
After trying to meditate, Yu Ping carefully meditated according to the exercises, but he couldn't do anything, feeling that the operation of this exercise was extremely difficult, and it was the same as his own internal exercises, and after a few hours, his legs were numb, his head was dizzy, his face was pale, and his mind and body were exhausted. He took a deep breath, exhaled turbidity, gently rubbed his numb legs, got out of bed, and pushed open the closed wooden door.
The moonlight sprinkled in this valley without hesitation, and slowly paced in circles on the flat ground in front of the house with his hands behind his back, thinking about it from the beginning of his cultivation to the end of his cultivation as he walked, Yu Ping didn't feel that there was anything wrong, thinking that this immortal method was not so easy to cultivate, and it was normal.
Tonight, it is not appropriate to continue cultivating the foundation of Qi refining, it is mentioned that beginner cultivators cannot exceed one hour per cycle, but I have used it for several hours just now, and my body is really a little overwhelmed.
It's just that Yu Ping doesn't know, if someone else can't do it at all or doesn't dare to continue refining without completing a big cycle in an hour, it is estimated that he will become a fool a long time ago, no one has such good brain power, and he must wait for ten hours before he can cultivate, so the miscellaneous disciples only work during the day and practice at night, otherwise someone will take risks and a lot of fools will be produced, and this miscellaneous labor can be regarded as a kind of protection for this low-level disciple.
That's why people with spiritual roots are needed to complete a great cycle in one hour, and mortals can only be waterless roots, and they can't cultivate to hurt their bodies.
Born with a hurdle, Yu Ping's cultivation of attracting qi into the dantian again and again ended in failure.
"Don't these two people need to cultivate?" Yu Ping looked at the room on either side of Jin Ha and the two and muttered.
These two people haven't been in the Luoxia Sect since they didn't work from time to time, and they haven't seen them cultivate.
At this time, on the main peak of Tianfeng Mountain, Wang Bao was looking at the road down the mountain, but there was a fog at the end, and there was no mountain formation, and he turned around a few times and returned to the same place.
"Senior brother is not used to this Tianfeng Mountain?" Liu Bin said without knowing when he came behind Wang Bao.
"There is no senior brother, but I have a sworn brother who doesn't know which peak to serve. ”
"It's on me. ”
