Chapter 52: It's hard to be poor
Since the disciples who were ready to fight against the Monkey Man had left, there was no more noise on Lingji Mountain, because basically all the puppets had been sent out, and only some of the simplest puppets that were only for beginner disciples to practice were still stored in the warehouse, and this kind of puppets were not attractive to the vast majority of disciples.
The disciples could only focus on cultivating their own mana and spells, and the refining workshop was overcrowded day and night, and it was full of disciples who came to help, so some disciples organized and built another refining workshop, which was much larger than the previous refining workshop, and it was also much improved.
Kong Rui, like Su Yun and many other disciples, donated their silver coins, spars, and honor points in exchange for some material resources, wanting to restore Lingji Mountain to normal as soon as possible.
Sima He was also very happy to see this, so he went to Wanshi Hall to ask Hall Master Zhang for an advance of some of the resources of Lingji Mountain, and Hall Master Zhang knew that Master Feng also supported Lingji Mountain, so he readily agreed; Sima He was overjoyed, and hurriedly arranged for his disciples to get these materials back, and kept making puppets day and night.
Kong Rui and Su Yun were both thinking about stepping up their cultivation, hoping to reach the late stage of the Spirit Disciple or the top level of Qi Refiner as soon as possible, or to be able to go out of the mountain as soon as possible to deal with the Qi Cultivator.
Because there were no puppets to practice, Kong Rui and Su Yun had to practice swordsmanship and illusion every day, their swordsmanship and illusion both wanted to break through, but they suffered from no classics to learn, and both of them donated their spars and honor points to Lingji Mountain, which was really shy. The two of them scraped together to find some spars, and Kong Rui went to the Scripture Pavilion to find some classics in this regard.
I didn't want Kong Rui to go to the Tibetan Scripture Pavilion, as soon as he used his token, he was led to Uncle Song's room by the deacon disciples of the Hidden Scripture Pavilion, he was wondering, seeing that Song Jingtian still saluted respectfully, and said, "I've seen Uncle Song." ”
Song Jingtian saw that he was already a mid-stage spirit disciple, and his aura was extraordinary, and he was not very far from the late stage, so he said, "No courtesy." Let me ask you, what stage have you reached in your Yin and Yang Technique?" Kong Rui naturally replied honestly: "Back to Master Song, you have reached the second stage of practice. ”
Song Jingtian asked, "But what don't you understand?" Kong Rui said: "Not yet." Song Jingtian nodded and asked, "Then what are you doing here?" Kong Rui said: "The disciple wants to find some classics of swordsmanship and illusion. ”
Song Jingtian felt strange and asked, "You Lingji Mountain are good at puppetry, why did you come to find swordsmanship and illusion books?"
Only then did Kong Rui say that there was no longer a puppet in the door, and he took advantage of this time to practice swordsmanship and illusion.
Song Jingtian had already heard some things about Lingji Mountain, and although he sighed in his heart, he didn't feel strange, so he said: "My Tibetan Scripture Pavilion has classics of swordsmanship and illusion, and they are not very profound, but if you want to learn advanced swordsmanship and illusion, you still need to go to Famous Sword Mountain and Phantom Yang Mountain." ”
Kong Rui said: "The disciple is looking for swordsmanship and illusion classics just to go further, and now he doesn't dare to expect to learn those advanced things." ”
When Song Jingtian heard this, he was secretly happy in his heart, thinking that this kid was extraordinary, and he had such a cultivation in less than two years, and he was not arrogant or impatient, and he was down-to-earth. Then he said to him, "Okay, go ahead!"
Kong Rui was full of slander, he thought at first that Uncle Song could give him the opportunity to borrow the classics for free, but he didn't expect to just arrest him and ask about it.
After Kong Rui came out, he went to the deacon disciple and said that he wanted to borrow the classics, and also took out the token, but the deacon disciple had been indulging in the classics in his hand, and asked without raising his head: "Is it a spar or an award point?" Kong Rui thought about it, his award points were all donated to Lingji Mountain, and just like that, the ten spars were made up by him and Su Yun, so he had to say: "It's a spar." The deacon disciple still didn't look up, but just raised his hand and pointed, "The teleportation circle here." After that, he ignored him.
Kong Rui naturally didn't mind, so he walked over.
After reading for a long time in the Tibetan Scripture Pavilion, Kong Rui finally found two classics on swordsmanship and illusion, and after taking a closer look, he was overjoyed, it turned out that the higher illusion techniques could indeed be used during the day, and there were other functions;
The deacon's disciple looked at the two texts and said, "One month is five spars, and two are eight spars." ”
When Kong Rui heard this, he heard that borrowing two classics at the same time could actually be cheaper than two spars, so he was ruthless, borrowed two at the same time, and after deducting the spars, when he swore that he would not pass it on, Kong Rui's heart moved, and he made a snort on his mouth, and this oath could not be counted.
The deacon disciple knew the value of the two classics, and he didn't even raise his head, his mind was still on the canons in his hands, and he didn't care about Kong Rui's oath, so he let him leave after completing the rubbing.
After Monsoon left, there was no one to take care of Kong Rui, and Kong Rui could also cultivate in his own courtyard.
Kong Rui hadn't returned to the courtyard yet, but he saw Su Yun waiting for him there from a distance, and the two entered the courtyard together.
As soon as he entered the courtyard, Kong Rui hurriedly took out the jade slip and showed it to Su Yun, but Su Yun knew that this kind of classic could not be passed on at will, so he immediately refused, and said, "You swore an oath, how can you show it to me casually?"
Kong Rui smiled slyly and said, "I said that "Wu Konghui" swore here, but I didn't say that I, Kong Rui, swore here. So it doesn't hurt if you read it. Moreover, the borrowed books only have a one-month period, and there is no time to do so. Both of them laughed, thinking that they were shy, and that this was a last resort. After a while, the two exchanged and practiced with each other.
It turns out that the classics borrowed by any disciple from the Tibetan Scripture Pavilion have a time limit, although the classics are rubbed into their own jade slips, but they can't rub them again, and according to the number of spars paid, the validity period is also different, and when the validity period comes, those rubbed classics will naturally disappear.
Poor people like Kong Rui and Su Yun can only borrow for a month, so the two of them have to desperately memorize the content of the classics in their minds first, so that they can not suffer. Fortunately, these two people have extraordinary memories and want to hone their abilities more, so they don't care how hard it is.
With Su Yun's company, Kong Rui's swordsmanship and illusion skills improved very quickly. Both of them can use their illusions during the day, but Su Yun's mana is weaker and cannot last for a long time, but it is enough to confuse the enemy when used in actual combat.
Three months later, Kong Rui was also able to split out the sword qi, and he could cut off a tree trunk with the thickness of a bowl mouth in about one zhang, he was able to multitask, and his cultivation of illusion and swordsmanship was much faster, but he wanted to practice with Su Yun, but the progress did not speed up, but the basic skills were practiced extremely solidly. And the solidity of the basic exercises has laid a better foundation for subsequent cultivation.
Sima He knew the situation in the mountains, and saw that the disciples were all cultivating diligently, and he did not urge the progress of refining the puppet, but only instructed him to cultivate some of his own spells. And now there are some sporadic puppets that have been made, and the disciples have begun to practice in turn. Kong Rui and Su Yun had no interest in this kind of alternate practice for the time being, but just practiced swordsmanship and illusion diligently.
Sima He hadn't seen Kong Rui practicing puppetry for a while, so he paid more attention to his situation. When he saw Kong Rui's swordsmanship and illusion, Sima He felt incredible, seeing that Kong Rui's swordsmanship and illusion attainments had reached the level of a late-stage spirit disciple, but he had not practiced puppet skills for many days, and he didn't know how much he could remember.
