Chapter 32: The Pavilion of the Black Heart
After the Great Gathering Array, all the disciples returned one after another.
In this outer gate, there are too few resources, and the fastest way to get ahead is to be accepted as a personal disciple by those elders, otherwise it will be very difficult to become an inner gate, so these disciples will use various methods to get the attention of those elders, and Song Yu wants to take the ice spirit flower to give gifts because of this.
"Take your time, it's true that you take one step at a time, and those who are accepted as personal disciples are not necessarily very powerful, there is a senior brother Peng Yun in the inner gate, who climbed up step by step from the outer gate, and now ranks in the top five in terms of combat power among the inner disciples, what a scenery. Li Tong comforted the two and said.
"So, those elders' vision is not necessarily accurate?" An Zixu was really comforted.
"Qualifications are a benchmark for future achievements, but they are not the whole story, and their own efforts are more important. ”
This Li Tong has to say that he is really a real person, and Cang Ze looks at him a little differently.
"How many years has Senior Brother been in the Sect?" he asked out loud.
"It's been almost a year. Li Tong replied.
"It's only been less than a year that you've condensed three layers?" An Zixu was immediately surprised, "Senior brother, you are really a real person who doesn't show your face!"
In the outer gate, being able to cultivate to the third layer of condensation in one year is already superior, not to mention those like Zhang Kun who have been here for three years to reach the first layer of condensation.
"I'm nothing, like the Song Eucalyptus who suddenly disappeared recently, it's only been more than a year since I entered the sect, and I'm already at the fourth level of condensation. Li Tong said modestly.
Hearing Song Eucalyptus's name, Cang Ze didn't have anything unusual, as if he had never known such a person.
After the three of them walked for a while, they separated, An Zixu was going to sweep the floor to do the task, and Li Tong planned to find a place to continue to vomit.
Cang Ze got Song Eucalyptus's more than two hundred spirit stones, so he didn't have to worry about the spirit stones for the time being, he went out of the outer door directly, and quietly came to the ice cave again.
He opened the ice aperture, and breathed in this ice cave, much faster than outside.
There are still a lot of sundries in this ice cave, all of which belong to Song Eucalyptus, like the previous flying sword, if this thing is replaced with a spirit stone, there should be a lot, but he can't do this, maybe someone will recognize it as Song Eucalyptus's.
Walking to the deepest part of this ice cave, Cang Ze sat down at the edge, looking at the darkness below, the strange cold temptation still came from there, there should be the reason for the formation of this ice cave below, but his cultivation is still shallow, and he can't explore it.
Throwing away the distracting thoughts in his mind, he began to close his eyes and practice breathing.
As soon as he began to breathe, Cang Ze was pleasantly surprised to find that the aura absorbed by the Soul Gathering Array here was not much less than in the Spirit Gathering Array, which made him extremely surprised, it was as if he had his own Spirit Gathering Array.
Forget about the time to breathe in the cultivation, and stay in the ice cave for two days.
In the days that followed, in order not to let others find out what was wrong, he only went to the ice cave twice in half a month, staying for two days at a time, so after a month, his qi sea expanded a little, and his cultivation moved from the first layer of condensation to the second layer of condensation!
Cang Ze is still very satisfied with this speed, although this is still not comparable to Hu Er and Xiaotong.
...
Inside the ice cave, Cang Ze stared at his palm, where a few wisps of spiritual energy were intertwined and rising, and after a while, there was a sudden 'poof', and it exploded and disappeared.
I exhaled, but it still didn't work, saying that I had opened the ice spirit, but I didn't expect that it was now the second layer of condensation, and it was so difficult to condense into ice with aura in the palm of my hand.
Picked up a dirty book from the ground, the cover was torn, and the words 'Spirit Elephant Fist' were written.
This broken book is the so-called formula, also called the Tao formula, is the thing of the Song Dynasty, the formula has a grade, a grade is the lowest, and there are three grades within the grade, this book of Lingxiang Boxing, belongs to a grade.
There is a simple small dilapidated house in the outer gate, the disciples call it 'Black Heart Pavilion', there is an elder of the outer gate guarding there, the disciples want to practice the magic trick can be exchanged for spirit stones there, but the price is too expensive, a first-class magic trick, it costs 1,000 to 3,000 spirit stones, so it is called a black heart pavilion, the outer door elder, also by the way, the name of a black-hearted old man.
Similar to this kind of method, generally only disciples above the third level of condensation can barely cultivate, Cang Ze has a second layer of condensation, pondering for several days, without the slightest progress.
On the second layer of condensation, he still couldn't do anything, he could only breathe in and cultivate.
Leaving from the ice cave, Cang Ze returned to the outer door, not back to his residence, he planned to go to the Black Heart Pavilion to have a look, the Black Heart Pavilion heard that in addition to the magic tricks, it also sells some expensive outrageous talismans.
When I arrived at the Black Heart Pavilion, it was really quiet here, and there was no figure.
I saw a dirty room standing on the ground, leaning against a towering tree, and there was nothing strange about it.
Far away, Cang Ze heard a burst of scolding, and when he got closer, he found that the scolding came from an old man on the tree who picked his feet, and the old man held an ancient book in his hand, occasionally flipping through it, and the scolding continued.
"What a damn book! What a broken book...... I've been reading it for more than ten years, but I still haven't understood it! Pretend to be your grandson, can you write it more straightforwardly! Lao Tzu really smacked your family for 18 generations!"
Cang Ze stood under the tree, seeing that he scolded so fiercely, he didn't know whether to disturb or not, this would ruin the artistic conception of others, and even he scolded him, wouldn't it be wronged.
After being embarrassed for several breaths under the tree, when he saw that the door of the small dilapidated house was open, he thought about whether he should go in first, and as soon as he took two steps, there was a sound from the tree.
"Boy, what do you want to do sneaky, if you want to steal, break your leg to feed the dog. ”
"How dare the kid, the kid just wants to go in and see if there is a spirit rune that suits him. Cang Ze hurriedly said.
The old man came down from the tree like a ghost, and circled around Cang Ze, "Pay ten spirit stones before entering." ”
Dig a slot, you have to ask for ten spirit stones before you buy anything, this black heart pavilion is really black-hearted!
"Senior, if you don't find a suitable one, can these ten spirit stones be returned?" Cang Ze asked with a dry laugh.
"Return? You have seen everything in there, how can you pay me back? The floor has been trampled on by you, how can you compensate me? The air is smelly of your body, how can you change me back to its original appearance? Is ten spirit stones too much? Is ten spirit stones enough to compensate for the environment that you have destroyed?"
It sounded like he was really guilty, Cang Ze hesitated, "Then I still won't go in." ”
"I'm going to leave just now, are you playing with me?"
Oh my God, it turns out that rumors are sometimes not necessarily false, and this place is really not for people to come to.
"Senior, you're a bit of a bully. ”
"Oops, hey......" As if hearing such words for the first time, the old man circled around Cang Ze again.
"Lao Tzu just likes to bully others, who calls Lao Tzu an elder, who calls you a fucking disciple, what do you want?"
Cang Ze glanced at the ancient book in the old man's hand, "Senior, it's really not good to get angry with the disciples in the sect when you encounter problems in cultivation. ”
The old man's face turned red when he heard this, and he hurriedly stuffed the ancient book in his hand into his clothes, and stammered slightly, "Who...... Who said that Lao Tzu had encountered a problem in his cultivation? Lao Tzu was a huge celestial pride! Lao Tzu had no difficulty that he could not overcome!"
"Who was scolding in the tree just now?"
The old man held back for a while and couldn't refute, waved his hand and said: "Go in and go in, pick what you want, but if you kid dare to talk nonsense outside, see if Lao Tzu doesn't clean you up!"
"Seniors, rest assured, the kid has never done anything harmful to others and himself. Cang Ze arched his hand.
The old man nodded, and suddenly his eyebrows were horizontal, "You kid is pointing at Sang and scolding Huai?"
"There is nothing. ”
When I entered the small dilapidated house, the old man had the face to say that the smell on his body would stink here, it was like a room full of old stinky shoes, don't choke too much!
"Senior...... You smell in this house...... It's a bit heavy......" Cang Ze couldn't help but say out loud.
"Don't talk nonsense, and I won't let you live here, pick up your things and leave quickly!" replied the old man impatiently.
"Senior, can you please introduce, what kind of spirit runes are there?" Cang Ze said again.
"Ice system, this is a partial attribute, and besides, you have a small outer door, just buy some self-defense talismans, and there is a fart to pick and choose!"
This old man is really not likeable.
"I've heard people say that my predecessors have everything here, and it seems that it's a rumor. ”
Cang Ze also found out some of the old man's character, and it was really useful when he tried it, so he saw that the old man didn't say a word, walked over and took out a Qiankun bag, took out a basin-sized board from it, put it in front of Cang Ze and said: "These are ice spirit runes, I'm afraid you can't afford them!"
A look at the talisman attached to the wooden board is very well preserved, and it is not cheap at first glance.
"Which one is the cheapest?"
The corner of the old man's mouth pulled out an arc called disdain, and pointed to the corner one, "This one, this one, but it also costs two hundred spirit stones, if the spirit stones are not enough, go back quickly, don't waste Lao Tzu's time." ”
Cang Ze turned a deaf ear, "What's the effect?"
The old man was angry, thinking to himself, 'If you don't buy it for a while, Lao Tzu won't kick you away', and said in his mouth: "What is the big effect of a low-level talisman? If you want to cultivate ice aura, this talisman can give you a good guiding effect, allowing you to get twice the result with half the effort, but that's all, if you open the ice spirit aperture in your body, it is different, this talisman can also allow you to master the ability of that spirit aperture faster." ”
Cang Ze nodded when he heard this, and the old man glanced at him, "How is it?"
Taking out two bags from his arms, Cang Ze said, "I'll buy it, here are two hundred spirit stones." ”
The old man took the spirit stone and nodded slightly, pursed his lips, there was no excuse to ridicule Cang Ze, and the spiritual sense swept Cang Ze and found that it was only a second layer of condensation, and it was not easy to save two hundred spirit stones from a second layer of condensation, and it was actually used to buy a useless ice talisman, it was really grass growing in his head.
"I said, boy, the ice system is not easy to use, the five elements are the right path, and it will be easier for you to choose the method and the method in the future. The old man gave a rare and pertinent opinion.
"It's okay, I'm not a crowd. ”
The old man pouted and dragged you back!
