Although Ye Qin promised to go to the Lingwu Grand Canyon with the Zhang brothers and sisters, he did not plan to join forces with them in the same inn.

He refused the invitation of Zhang Qiao and others, and found an inconspicuous quiet inn in the city and stayed there.

There is still half a year before the release of this year's "task documents" by various sects, and he needs to make various preparations.

Considering that he is still only the strength of the fourth layer of the Qi Refining Period, this strength is very ordinary among the countless Qi Refining Stage Immortal Cultivators in Immortal Yuan City, and even a little low.

The dangers in the Lingwu Grand Canyon are unpredictable, and the higher the cultivation, the more secure the safety will be. Raising his cultivation level as soon as possible was undoubtedly his most urgent task right now.

After reaching the fourth layer of the Qi Refining Period, he continued to take the Dew Pill, and the effect was not great. After all, this elixir only has an obvious effect on immortal cultivators from the first to the third layer of the Qi refining period. He wondered if he could take it with a more advanced elixir. It's just that he doesn't have other high-grade elixir formulas in his hands, let alone spiritual herbs for alchemy. There's no way, so let's continue to use the Descendant for now.

In addition, the "Sitting and Forgetting Sutra" in his hand was a fragment of only one to three layers of the Qi refining period.

It took half a day's effort, Ye Qin found a complete exercise method for the Qi refining period in the largest bookstore in the city, the first part of "Sitting and Forgetting the Sutra", "Sitting and Looking at Selfless". But when he returned to the inn with this book, which was said to be the secret of ancient exercises, his face was a little indescribably strange

This matter has to start with him going to find this secret. Ye Qin didn't find anyone selling the secret of "Sitting and Forgetting the Sutra" in Fang City, and found that there was a bookstore in Xianyuan City that specialized in selling all kinds of exercises in Xianyuan City.

Inside this bookstore.

"Sitting and Forgetting the Sutra?"

The middle-aged shopkeeper of the Book Pavilion heard that Ye Qin wanted to find this kind of exercise secret, and pondered for a while before remembering, "It seems that I have a little impression, this exercise should be in the ancient books, wait for me to check it." ”

The shopkeeper opened a thick catalogue of exercises, checked them one by one in the ancient books, and said after a while, "I found it, there is still the last volume of "Sitting and Forgetting the Sutra" left in the warehouse, this brother waits, I will ask someone to pick it up." ”

The shopkeeper instructed one of his attendants to pick up the goods from the storehouse.

Ye Qin waited in the book pavilion, browsing the names of the catalogs of the immortal cultivation exercises on the shelves. I was secretly amazed in my heart, there were so many immortal cultivation techniques and spell secrets here, no less than thousands of volumes.

After waiting for a while, the attendant took out an old, but very new yellow book from the warehouse, and handed it to the shopkeeper.

The shopkeeper took the book and flipped through it, and said, "This brother, it is quite rare for a monk to practice this "Sitting and Forgetting Sutra" now, and there is only this one book left in our store." ”

Ye Qin happily took it, and at the same time wondered: "Lonely, very few people practice this exercise?"

"yes. This is one of the immortal cultivation techniques in the ancient period of Xianyuan City, which is divided into four major articles. The pre-chapter "Gathering Qi and Condensing the Spirit" is for martial artists to cultivate, accumulate essence and spirit, and transition from martial artists to immortal cultivators. The first part, "Sitting and Watching Without Self", is a first-to-nine-layer exercise during the Qi refining period. The novella "Return to the Roots" is a first-to-nine-layer exercise during the foundation building period. The next part, "Holding the Yuan and Guarding the Shortage", is a first-to-nine-layer exercise during the Dan period. ”

When Ye Qin got such news, he was very surprised and said, "This is a very ancient immortal cultivation method, isn't it very powerful?"

The shopkeeper laughed, "Haha, it's not. "Sitting and Forgetting Sutra" is a kind of immortal cultivation method that was researched and created together by a group of martial artists in the early days of Xianyuan City when they became immortal cultivators, and it is one of the orthodox immortal cultivation methods with a long history in Xianyuan City. At that time, the atmosphere in the world of cultivating immortals was very good, and the cultivators gathered together to study the exercises, and they would not hide their secrets, and this "Sitting and Forgetting Sutra" was born at that time.

Many of the legendary ancient monks in our Xianyuan City originally used this kind of exercise. As for whether it's powerful or not, it's hard to say. In the hands of low-level monks, the effect is average, and in the hands of high-level monks, it has the effect of shaking the heavens and the earth. ”

"The biggest feature of this exercise is that it does not have any requirements for the category of spiritual roots, and it is applicable to the cultivation of all spiritual root cultivators. During the Qi refining period, "Sitting and Watching Without Self" requires the convergence of all essence and energy to cultivate one's own vitality, and the entire cultivation process is flat and stable, and it is not easy to deviate. But when he cultivated to the ninth layer of "Sitting and Watching Without Self", there was a very fatal problem. ”

"There is a natural fatal flaw in "Sitting and Watching Without Self", when the immortal cultivator has practiced to the peak of the ninth layer, as the skill deepens, the aura convergence becomes more and more serious. When you reach the ninth layer, the whole person will almost fall into a complete self-isolation, cut off from all breath contact with the outside world, and enter a half-dead state of 'suspended death of the body and silence of the soul'. If you can't break through to the foundation building, then this state will continue until the longevity is exhausted, and then the body is really dead and the soul is destroyed. There are definitely not a few monks who have died on this set of exercises. Practicing this exercise involves taking a lot of risks. ”

The shopkeeper looked at Ye Qin with a very strange look. It seems that he can't bear to watch Ye Qin practice this exercise to send him to death.

"It is precisely because of such a big flaw that the later immortal cultivators have created a large number of other safer cultivation techniques, specializing in cultivating a spiritual root, the cultivation speed is faster, and they will not reach the ninth layer of the Qi refining period, because they cannot break through and die. Compared with these new cultivation methods that appeared later, this defect of the "Sitting and Forgetting Sutra" is obvious, so the number of people who practice this ancient practice has become very small now. ”

"Anyway, brother, you are still young, it is better to stop practicing this "Sitting and Forgetting Sutra" and change it to a safer exercise. ”

The shopkeeper recommended him to change to other types of exercises and secrets, such as the "Wood Spirit Sutra", "Earth Spirit Sutra", etc., to specialize in one spiritual root and give up other spiritual root cultivation. This is safer and more reliable than the Sitting and Forgetting Sutra, and it is very fast.

Ye Qin's face became ugly, he didn't expect that there would be such a fatal flaw in cultivating the Sutra of Sitting and Forgetting.

This made him hesitate to switch to other exercises.

But he was a little reluctant, he had been practicing the "Sitting and Forgetting Sutra" for five or six years, and this exercise accompanied him through the most difficult journey of cultivating immortals in the early days, and this feeling could not be given up at once.

Since there were many ancient cultivators who had cultivated this set of exercises and had successfully promoted to a higher realm, there was no reason why he couldn't cultivate.

Ye Qin bit his purple lip and decided to continue cultivating.

He took the secret book of "Sitting and Forgetting the Sutra" in the shopkeeper's hand, and inadvertently flipped through it, but found a problem. "Why is there only the first part of "Sitting and Watching Without Me" in this secret book? The middle part "Return to the Roots" and the next part "Holding the Yuan and Guarding the Shortage", where are they?"

"Originally, this was a set, but hundreds of years ago, a monk in the foundation building period bought the middle and second parts of it, leaving only the first part. And now, almost no one can practice this flawed exercise, so the store didn't collect it anymore. However, as far as I know, the major immortal cultivation sects still retain a complete set of this ancient cultivation secret from the Qi refining period to the Dan Formation period. If you want to find the novella "Return to the Roots" and the next part "Holding the Yuan and Guarding the Shortage" of "Sitting and Forgetting the Sutra", you may have to go to the sect to find it, and you should be able to find it. ”

"Brother Tai reached the fourth level of the Qi Refining Stage at the age of seventeen or eighteen, and this talent is not bad. However, there are at least twenty or thirty years of penance cultivation left before the ninth layer of the Qi refining period. It is difficult to say whether the foundation will be successfully built in the end. If you are lucky enough to be in a big sect, it is very simple to find the middle and second parts of this secret book. Now Brother Tai doesn't have to rush to find the middle and second parts of this set of exercises, just practice the first part well. ”

"Our shop now only has this volume of exercises from the first part of the Qi refining period "Sitting and Watching Without Me" to the ninth layer. Anyway, it's the last inventory, and it takes up space in the warehouse, so if you want it, I just sell it to you cheaply, and the price is three low-grade spirit stones. ”

After listening to the shopkeeper's explanation, Ye Qin nodded: "This "Sitting and Forgetting Sutra" will only end in the next part of "Holding the Yuan and Guarding the Shortage", is there no more in the future?"

The middle-aged shopkeeper looked unhappy and said, "Of course there is." However, after the Yudan period, it is the Yuan Infant Period. At that level, the monk's skill is extremely profound, and he usually creates his own exercises that are suitable for his own cultivation. These ancestor-level cultivators in the Yuan Infant Stage will still take out their self-created cultivation exercises to sell? Brother Tai should not be too ambitious, one volume of the first volume of Qi refining period exercises, I am afraid that it will be enough for ordinary monks like us to practice for a lifetime. ”

Only then did Ye Qin understand why this "Sitting and Forgetting Sutra" only has four articles: pre, upper, middle, and lower from the martial artist, the qi refining period to the knotting period. After the Yuan Infant Period, it is necessary to rely on self-created exercises.

He thought about it for a while, and spent three low-grade spirit stones to buy the first part of the secret book of "Sitting and Forgetting Sutra".

He didn't go to any other library. Just like the shopkeeper said, there is now a complete volume of Qi Refining Period Exercises, which is enough for him now. There's no need to go far and find higher-level exercises, it's just a waste of spirit stones

After returning to the inn with this complete volume of the first part of the "Sitting and Forgetting Sutra", Ye Qin could only smile bitterly in his heart. When he reached the ninth layer of the Qi Refining Period, there would be a risk of 'physical suspended death and soul extinction', which made him uneasy.

But he was reluctant to give up the exercise.

"I don't want to think so much anymore, get ready to go to the Lingwu Grand Canyon in the fall. Now that he is too far from the ninth layer of the Qi Refining Period, there is no need to think about it so much. ”

Ye Qin shook his head, returned to his room, plugged in the door bolt, and sat cross-legged on the ground. He took out the copper sand alchemy furnace, the seeds of three wood thorns, and the aged mulberry wine of a small gourd. In addition, he also has three or four lower-grade spirit stones, and there are more than ten dew grasses planted in the purple mansion. as well as a few talismans and secret books.

His family is here.
