Chapter 23: The Middle Channel
readx; In this way, Li Zhe began his cultivation life in the Yunmeng Lower Courtyard. The content of life www.biquge.info pen fun pavilion is very boring, that is, cultivation, rest, cultivation, rest, and repeatedly, and I went to listen to Wang Ziyan's lectures on the first and fifteenth days of junior high school. In this kind of life, Li Zhe doesn't think it's bitter, and if you want revenge, you always have to pay a price. Although Li Zhe practiced the Yin Yang Zhou Tian Xuan Spiritual Skill, he did not receive preferential treatment in terms of treatment, and it was exactly the same as that of ordinary registered disciples.
At the same time, the eight junior brothers who started at the same time would occasionally get together to exchange their cultivation experiences. Except for the gentle and lovely Zhong Ling'er, the other six juniors and disciples did not get along well with Li Zhe. Needless to say, Du Hairong, who was empty-eyed, Li Zhe and him seemed to be born to clash with each other, and they had to quarrel a few words when they met. Du Hairong put on a dead face all day long, making other juniors and disciples stay away from him. However, as the saying goes, Cao Cao also has a close friend, and Guan Gong also has a rival. Du Hairong has such a stinky character, and there is actually a little fat man, Qian Youde, who obeys his words, follows up, and fights hotly.
The other five juniors and disciples other than Du Hairong did not have much respect for Li Zhe in their words. The spiritual root qualifications of these five people are all middle-grade spiritual roots, and they are definitely middle-class talents in the cultivation world, and they entered the Yunmeng Sect, the first cultivation sect in Youzhou, at a young age. When the spirit was measured, Li Zhe's inferior person Linggen qualification was seen by all five people. Later, Li Zhe was able to worship the Yunmeng Sect, and the five people were not fools, so they could naturally guess that there must be unknown reasons for it. In their hearts, they decided that Li Zhe could only join the sect after going through the back door, so they naturally despised Li Zhe a little, and it was inevitable that there was some disrespect in his words.
Li Zhe also knows this, but he is helpless. After a long time, Li Zhe also figured out that face was not given by others, but earned by himself. The reason why the juniors and disciples despise themselves is not because they believe that their spiritual root qualifications are poor and their future achievements are limited. As long as they understand that they are stronger than them, they will naturally win respect. Since then, Li Zhe has worked harder to cultivate, and strength determines status, which is the defining principle of cultivation.
The days passed like this, and Li Zhe and the others cultivated hard, and they all made steady progress towards the middle stage of spiritual induction.
Every time the monk in the early stage of spiritual guidance does his homework, he will introduce some spiritual energy into the dantian, and the ability of the early spiritual monk dantian to absorb spiritual energy is limited, and most of the spiritual energy introduced into the dantian will be lost uncontrollably. However, no matter how it is lost, there will eventually be some pure aura left in the dantian, and with the increase in the number of exercises, more and more aura will remain in the dantian. When the aura fills the entire dantian, it means that the cultivation has reached the limit of the initial stage of spiritual introduction, and the monk will welcome the first bottleneck on the road to cultivation. At this point, if you want to move forward, you need an opportunity, you need an opportunity. If you're lucky, maybe the next day, when you do the exercises, when the spiritual energy reaches the dantian, you will break through the limit, causing the spiritual energy to compress, forming a cyclone, and reaching the middle stage of spiritual induction. If you're unlucky, you won't be able to break through in ten or eight years.
The communication with his junior disciples on weekdays allowed Li Zhe to get a message that the loss of aura in his dantian was obviously slower than that of his junior disciples, and the aura that could be left was more than that of his junior disciples, and the reason Li Zhe could also guess that it was nothing more than because his aura was far purer than that of his junior disciples. With this advantage, Li Zhe's cultivation progress was second only to Du Hairong among all the junior disciples, and even faster than Zhong Ling'er's junior sister of the high-grade human spirit root. Li Zhe's cultivation speed made the juniors and disciples feel incredible in private, and some people even wondered if Li Zhe had secretly taken some pills to increase his cultivation speed.
Li Zhe also has a unique phenomenon when he performs the exercises, that is, after the exercises, a layer of black dirt is attached to his skin, which emits bursts of foul odors. Li Zhe also inquired, and other juniors did not have this phenomenon. Li Zhe didn't dare to ask Wang Ziyan, estimating that this phenomenon was likely to be related to his cultivation of "Yin Yang Zhou Tian Xuan Linggong", and this was a secret that Li Zhe had to keep, so he could only ask Shen Zhoutian. However, Shen Zhoutian may have other affairs to deal with, and he has not come to check his cultivation progress for a long time, and Li Zhe has no way to ask.
This phenomenon brought a strange consequence, Li Zhe felt that his strength was several times greater than before, and he used internal vision to inspect his body, and his flesh became very pure, his flesh became more compact, impurities were rarely seen, and his body became very hard. After advancing to the spirit induction period, the physical body can indeed be strengthened, but compared to the junior disciples, the physical body enhancement effect is much greater.
After thinking hard, Li Zhe had a rough guess, it is estimated that when he practiced the gong to the Yin Zhou Tian, the aura was retrograde in the meridians, and the impurities in the aura and a large amount of aura were forcibly pressed into the flesh from the meridians.
The reason why Shen Zhoutian didn't tell himself about this phenomenon is probably because neither the Eastern Patriarch himself has practiced this skill, but even the Eastern Patriarch himself doesn't know about this phenomenon, let alone Shen Zhoutian. At present, it seems that this phenomenon brings only benefits to himself, so Li Zhe is not worried.
In the third year, Du Hairong was the first among the eight senior brothers to reach the middle stage of the spirit induction. Half a month later, after Li Zhe practiced the exercises, he found that the aura in his dantian had reached the limit, and he could try to hit the bottleneck in the next exercise.
Li Zhe was excited, waiting for the meridian fatigue period to pass. As soon as the time came, Li Zhe immediately began to practice exercises to hit the bottleneck. When Li Zhe introduced the aura purified by the Yin and Yang Zhou Tian into the dantian, the aura in the dantian immediately caused an aura explosion because it exceeded the limit, and the chaotic aura tried to penetrate the meridians. If there is aura flowing into the meridians, it will cause the aura in the dantian to be insufficient and unable to form a cyclone, then the impact bottleneck will fail. Not only that, but the aura in the dantian penetrated into the meridians, causing the cultivation to regress, and it took a lot of time to refill the dantian before it could make the next impact. With Li Zhe's complete control over the aura in his body, he easily controlled all the aura in the dantian, and no trace escaped. After the aura exploded, it immediately compressed towards the center of the dantian, eventually forming a cyclone.
As Dongfang Ancestor said, "Yin Yang Zhou Tian Spiritual Skill" can greatly reduce the difficulty of the monk to hit the bottleneck, and Li Zhe has no difficulty breaking through the bottleneck to reach the middle stage of spiritual induction. After Li Zhe broke through the bottleneck, he immediately went to report to Wang Ziyan that he had reached the middle stage of spiritual induction.
Wang Ziyan stared at a pair of beautiful eyes, staring at Li Zhe and being puzzled. This junior brother Li Zhe is a real low-grade human spiritual root, and his cultivation speed is actually faster than Zhong Ling'er, a high-grade human spiritual root, which is indeed incredible. To say that Li Zhe secretly took the pill, the mana fluctuations emanating from him were weaker than other junior disciples, not only were they not messy, but they were even a little purer than other junior disciples. Due to special reasons, Wang Ziyan also knows a little about "Yin Yang Zhou Tianxuan Linggong", but she didn't think about it at all. "Yin Yang Zhou Tian Xuan Linggong" has higher requirements for spiritual root qualifications, and the cultivation progress is slower, which is completely inconsistent with Li Zhe's situation. Wang Ziyan didn't want to delve into it, everyone would have their own secrets, as long as they were loyal to the sect, nothing else mattered.
Wang Ziyan took out three things and handed them to Li Zhe, which is why Li Zhe hurriedly came to report.
The three things are a jade plaque, a porcelain vase, and two stones. Monks in the middle stage of the spirit introduction can practice all kinds of spells, and this jade plate is a pass to enter the library cave in the lower courtyard of Yunmeng, and all kinds of books are stored in the library cave. Li Zhe is of course most interested in all kinds of spell books. The porcelain bottle contained ten green pills, the "Spiritual Cultivation Pill", which was mainly used by monks during the spiritual introduction period to take when cultivating, which could greatly increase the concentration of spiritual energy in the meridians and speed up the progress of cultivation.
Two stones, Li Zhe knew at a glance that they were two lower-grade spirit stones. Li Zhe has lived in the Yunmeng Courtyard for three years, and through Zhong Ling'er's help, he has long understood the common sense of the cultivation realm.
The spirit stone is a stone that contains the aura of heaven and earth, which is mined from the spirit stone vein. The appearance of the spirit stone vein is completely natural, and it cannot be imitated by manpower, and a vein needs millions of years of evolution to finally form, so the spirit stone is a non-renewable resource, and there is one less piece with one.
The spirit stone contains a large amount of heaven and earth aura, and the monk can directly extract the aura in the spirit stone to cultivate or replenish mana. It's just that the effect of the spirit stone in this regard is much weaker than the elixir, and if there is a corresponding elixir, the average monk will not use the spirit stone in this way.
The main function of the spirit stone is to arrange the magic circle and drive some special magic weapons, such as puppets and so on. The operation of the formation also needs to be driven by spiritual energy, and generally a large formation like the sect's mountain protection array will be directly arranged on the spiritual vein, and the spiritual energy of the spiritual vein will be directly extracted for the use of the large array. However, those magic circles that are temporarily laid when facing the enemy must rely on spirit stones to provide spiritual energy to ensure operation, and you can't choose the location of the enemy on the spiritual veins every time, so spirit stones are essential.
There is also a more important role of spirit stones, which is circulation. Monks often have to communicate with each other and exchange various cultivation resources. Bartering directly has too many limitations and is very inconvenient. It would be much more convenient if there was something that everyone agreed on to act as currency in the transaction. Because of its practicality, scarcity, and irreproducibility, the spirit stone was chosen by the monks and became the hard currency of the cultivation world. Of course, when exchanging those rare magic weapons and materials that cannot be bought with spirit stones, the monks will still use them in a bartering way.
The quality of the spirit stone root is divided into four levels, which are the lower grade spirit stone, the middle grade spirit stone, the upper grade spirit stone, and the best spirit stone. The exchange ratio between each level of spirit stones is one hundred to one. Lower-grade spirit stones and middle-grade spirit stones are more common in the cultivation realm, and ordinary ore veins can be produced. High-grade spirit stones are relatively rare, and only large high-quality spirit stone veins can be produced in small quantities. As for the best spirit stones, they can only be described as extremely rare, at least there is no vein in Youzhou that can be produced.
