Chapter 5 Exchange
After Chen Mengsheng became enlightened, his life did not change much.
He had just opened his spirit, and he had not yet condensed his spiritual energy to reach the first level of enlightenment. Only when the aura is condensed in the body, and these aura remains in the body for a long time, can one be considered a true monk.
This process is relatively easy, as long as you practice the Spiritual Enlightenment Technique. The "Shinto Scroll" only guides the opening of the spirit, and after the opening of the spirit, you have to practice other exercises. After he opened the spirit, he found the fat middle-aged, the fat middle-aged was a little surprised, this kid opened the spirit for five years, and it seems that it took a lot of effort.
The fat middle-aged man threw him a few thin pages of paper again, and said lightly: "This is the exercises from the first to the third layer of the Enlightenment, cultivate according to the above, and wait until you cultivate to the third layer of the Enlightenment and become a formal disciple, naturally someone will give you the exercises behind the Enlightenment." However, where do people like us have the opportunity to cultivate to the third level of enlightenment. β
When he said this, the fat middle-aged man was also a little lonely. He had been in the Fire Flow Sect for more than ten years, and he had started cultivating late, and his qualifications were poor, and he had only opened the second layer of the spirit after so many years.
Chen Mengsheng was silent, he embarked on this road with a warm heart at the beginning, and only felt difficult when he embarked on this road, it took him five years to open the spirit, or because of the treasure of the stone, there are still twelve layers in the realm of the spirit, and after the spirit is opened, there are also the realms of foundation building, three flowers, and five qi, and this road is far from the end.
He sighed and returned to his lodgings with the thin sheets of paper.
No matter how difficult the road ahead is, he still has to cultivate, and besides, he has the treasure of stones, he is luckier than too many monks, what else is he complaining about.
Concentrating on his mind, he began his first cultivation after the enlightenment.
Half a month later, the aura absorbed in his body no longer dissipated, but circulated in a specific route, I don't know how many weeks later, he took a long breath and opened his eyes, his realm was already at the level of enlightenment.
When he entered the first floor of Kailing, he reported to the sect and became a disciple of the Huoliu Sect. In this way, he can get a piece of spirit stone supplied by the sect every three months, but he is still a registered disciple, unless he reaches the realm of the third layer of enlightenment, he can become an official disciple of the Fire Flow Sect, and he no longer has to work for the sect all day, and the treatment is very good.
The disciples of the Fire Flow Sect are divided into three categories.
At the bottom level, like a registered disciple like Chen Mengsheng, they are only the nominal disciples of the Huoliu Sect, and the sect will not care about the cultivation of these disciples, at most a spirit stone will be issued every three months for the disciples who have already opened the spirit. Above the registered disciples are the official disciples, and these disciples are the backbone of the Huoliu Sect, and they hold up the faΓ§ade of the entire Huoliu Sect.
If a disciple reaches the sixth-level realm, he is qualified to become an inner disciple, but it is very difficult to become an inner disciple, not only is his cultivation sufficient, but he also needs to pass the special test of the sect. Once they become inner disciples, they are treated very well, they all have a little bit of power in the Fire Flow Sect, and their seniority has also risen to a higher level, and many elders have been promoted by these disciples.
Three months later, Chen Mengsheng got the first spirit stone supplied by the sect, and as soon as he got it, he couldn't wait to take the spirit stone to cultivate. I heard Zhang Wei say that a spirit stone can withstand many days of cultivation in ordinary times, and every disciple here dreams of having more spirit stones, and spirit stones are very precious among registered disciples. Moreover, he had also used half a spirit stone, and the effect was much better than absorbing the aura of heaven and earth.
Sure enough, after using the spirit stone, Chen Mengsheng felt that the cultivation speed in the first three months was the same as that of a turtle crawling, and even the effect of green liquor did not seem to be comparable to that of the spirit stone. However, green liquor is a business, as long as there is more rain, there will be more green liquor. He had to figure out his own way to find a spirit stone, and now he could only get a spirit stone in three months.
Using spirit stones to cultivate, he found that the stones had another anti-heaven effect, and the spirit stones could be "bringed" to the dream for cultivation.
In view of the fact that he could cultivate in his dream, when he got the first complete spirit stone, he carried that spirit stone and daydreamed, and as a result, he "brought" an identical spirit stone in the dream.
He absorbed the spirit stone in his dream, and when he woke up, the spirit stone in his hand was also intact and could continue to absorb it. He was in ecstasy, in this way, if he had a spirit stone, wouldn't it be equivalent to having a lot of spirit stones, and he could cultivate twice a day? And he also had green liquid, so he was going to heaven when he thought about it.
He did a good job of daydreaming, but reality was reality after all, and a spirit stone could not support his daily cultivation. The ability of that stone also seems to be limited, a spirit stone can only be copied once in a dream, and even if the spirit stone is not used the next day, another spirit stone will not appear in the dream. The ichor could not be replicated in the dream at all, and he guessed that it was possible that the ichor was made of the stone itself, and therefore could not be used in addition.
Getting this result, he was a little disappointed, but he was still relatively satisfied, after all, one spirit stone can be used as two, what else is he greedy for? Besides, it is not that he can only use one piece a day. Half a year later, he borrowed a spirit stone from Zhang Wei, a total of two spirit stones, and the same two spirit stones would be copied in the dream, that is, as long as he had enough spirit stones, he could cultivate luxuriously in his dreams. He began to fantasize about having a very large number of spirit stones, so that his cultivation speed would reach the sky.
Later, he had an extreme fanaticism for spirit stones, and a large part of the reason began at this time. At this time, he was still very weak, and he was worried about spirit stones all day long, always trying to find ways to get more spirit stones, so it also created his extremely fanatical mentality towards spirit stones in the future. Even if he becomes an immortal in the future and will no longer need the spirit stone, it can be seen that the spirit stone still has an urge to keep it for himself.
For a long time after that, he would always be cheeky to borrow spirit stones from others. His reputation is very good, and there is a disciple who spreads that he will return the spirit stone on time the day after he borrows it. In this way, there are also some people who believe in him and lend him spirit stones, and he relies on this almost cheating method to slowly advance his cultivation.
The cultivation life of the sect is very boring, but occasionally these disciples will also find some excitement, especially for people like Zhang Wei who can't be idle.
One day Chen Mengsheng was meditating, Zhang Wei found him, looked mysterious, and said to take him to a good place to open his eyes.
Chen Mengsheng looked excited and followed Zhang Wei out of the sect. Turning around, the two appeared in front of a mountain peak.
"I heard that this exchange meeting was held by a certain official disciple, and I don't know which senior brother it is?"
"Swap?"
"Well, I'll lead you in later, you must be respectful, there are disciples of the third layer of enlightenment there. The exchange meeting is where everyone exchanges the things in their hands for other things, and you may be able to find a treasure at the exchange meeting. β
Chen Mengsheng followed Zhang Wei into the peak.
Halfway up the mountain, several young disciples were talking around a disciple in Tsing Yi.
Zhang Wei stepped forward with a respectful face and said to the disciple in Tsing Yi, "Senior Brother Lin, I didn't expect you to host this exchange meeting. I just got together a few spirit stones during this time, so I was cheeky enough to join in the fun, and I also brought my brother to see and understand, and I hope Senior Brother Lin will not blame him. β
The disciple in Tsing Yi, who was seventeen or eighteen years old, glanced at Zhang Wei and nodded lightly, "I'll just say how did you bring this disciple of the first level of enlightenment here, I thought he had some treasures." You wait on the sidelines, and a few brothers are coming. β
Chen Mengsheng followed Zhang Wei and stood to the side restrainedly.
What Senior Brother Lin, looking young, has already reached the third layer of enlightenment, Zhang Wei is obviously older than him, and he still calls him Senior Brother, which makes Chen Mengsheng very envious.
Senior Brother Nalin said: "I heard that during this time, the spirit beasts in the mountains and forests around the Fire Flow Sect were restless, it seems that something has happened, and I don't know if it's true or not?"
"I also heard that during this time, the sect forbade disciples to go out of the mountains and forests alone. β
"Are we okay then?"
"It shouldn't be fine, I deliberately chose this peak to take everyone's safety into consideration. However, everyone also needs to be careful and complete the exchange as soon as possible after those people come. β
As he was talking, two more male and one female disciples came, both of whom were in the realm of the third layer of enlightenment.
"Okay, now that everyone is together, I won't talk nonsense, and this exchange meeting will begin. This time, I brought a few special spirit runes, I only need spirit stones, and I have cultivated to a critical moment. β
"Congratulations Brother Lin, it seems that I will reach the fourth layer of Kailing earlier than us, but I'm not too interested in spirit runes, so I'm sorry Brother Lin. I have an exercise here, and I want to exchange it for an elixir. β
"What elixir do you want to change?"
"Pei Yuandan, I don't know which brother has it?"
"Little sister, I have a few, but I don't know how the exercises are. β
The male disciple who had the exercises had a happy face, "Senior sister, take a step to speak." β
"Okay, how are the others going to change?"
In the end, this exchange meeting also opened Chen Mengsheng's eyes, he came to the Huoliu Sect for three years, and the only precious thing he had seen was the spirit stone, but in the hands of these disciples, there were more valuable things, pills, exercises, and spirit runes, and I didn't know where they got these things.
He didn't know that after becoming an official disciple, he would also do sect tasks, but it was no longer a miscellaneous work such as carrying water and chopping wood, but capturing spirit beasts, collecting elixirs, and even fighting with the evil monks who were crooked, and through various tasks, they exchanged for the resources they needed. Cultivating immortals all the way is not only boring and penance, but also cultivation resources such as pills, spirit runes, and magic weapons are also very important. is also a disciple of the third layer of enlightenment, one is unarmed, and the other has a spirit rune, if it is two disciples fighting the law, then the disciple who has the spirit rune must have a better chance of winning. If there is a stronger treasure, it will not be a problem for the low-level disciples to challenge the next level.
In the end, a few disciples looked satisfied, but a few disciples looked a little unhappy. Senior Brother Lin's spirit rune was not exchanged for a spirit stone, and the spirit stone was precious to everyone, and no one would be willing to take it out.
The spirit stone that Zhang Wei saved was not for the spirit rune, but he wanted to exchange it for a more powerful magic weapon, and he was not far from the third layer of the spirit now, and he had to think about the cultivation in the future. When he reaches the third layer of Kailing, there will be a sect task, and he can do better tasks with the treasures in his hand, and earn the spirit stone back through the sect task, he came here to pick up the leak.
These disciples are all disciples who have entered the third layer of enlightenment for many years, and some disciples will get more powerful treasures through the sect mission, and the treasures used at the beginning will not be used, and it is very likely that they will be exchanged for it, and it is precisely because of this that he came to participate in this exchange meeting.
