Chapter 3 Eggs, Quail Eggs

An iron sword more than three feet long and with a simple shape, three books, and more than a dozen small objects.

"What is this?"

Li Si's eyes were full of doubts, these seemed to be mortal things, how could they be used to test whether he could sense the aura.

Aunt Zhao caressed several of the items, and said a little sadly, "Your father's old things." ”

"My father," Li Si never heard Aunt Zhao mention in his memory, his father and mother still left something, every time he asked, he said that he had gone to a far place, and suddenly saw the things left by his father and mother, and couldn't help but be a little excited, "They ......"

Seeing that Li Si still cared about her father, Aunt Zhao was a little relieved, but she still said solemnly, "Now, I will never tell you what happened back then, if you want to know, come to me when you are successful in cultivating immortals." ”

"Cultivating immortals?" Li Si looked at Aunt Zhao in surprise, how difficult is the road to cultivating immortals, he has already understood from the memory fragments of the unlucky immortal master, and he often uses a hundred years of immortal paths, but he is afraid that by the time he is successful, Aunt Zhao will have become loess.

"Build the foundation. Aunt Zhao obviously understood Li Si's worries, "After the foundation is built, if you return to this Luoxia Village, even if I can't wait for that day, I will ask someone to tell you." ”

Thinking of what would happen decades later, Aunt Zhao couldn't help crying again, and the tired Li Siye's eyes were a little red.

A hundred years of life, but a snap of a finger......

"Let's talk about this later, let's talk about the things in front of us first. Aunt Zhao eased her melancholy, pointed to the items in the bag, and said to Li Si, "There is a thing in it that is not a mortal thing, you can identify it, and Aunt Zhao will promise you to cultivate immortals." ”

It is not a mortal thing, it is naturally a monk's thing, that is, an object that contains aura, and these things are indeed difficult to distinguish with the naked eye.

In fact, Li Si was determined to step into the immortal path, but in order to reassure Aunt Zhao, he still closed his eyes, adjusted his breathing, and felt it with his heart.

This is not the first time he has tried to sense the aura, although it is not as sure as letting him go to the forest to hunt rabbits, but he is still a few points sure.

With the peace of mind, the dark world gradually lit up, and a gossamer floated around, Li Si knew that it was aura, and in front of him, there was a fire-like light, fixed in the dark world, this is the fairy thing that Aunt Zhao was referring to.

Li Si stretched out his hand and grabbed the firefly in his hand, and opened his eyes, it was a jade plaque the size of half a palm, with an ancient character 'Ling' engraved on the front and a cloud pattern carved on the back.

Aunt Zhao saw what Li Si had taken, but for some reason, her mood became very calm, as if it should have been, she nodded and said softly, "Auntie agreed!"

......

That night, Li Si stayed awake all night.

Build the foundation!

Some people can be successful in a few years, some people will be successful in a hundred years, but many more will have no hope in their lifetimes.

Thinking of Aunt Zhao's covenant to build a foundation, Li Si suddenly felt that time was pressing, although Aunt Zhao did not force him to build a foundation before a hundred years, he subconsciously hoped that he could achieve his wish before her death. That is to say, the time given to him is only twenty or thirty years, which may seem like a long time, but that is for mortals.

Thinking of this, he couldn't sleep even more, and couldn't help but think of the cloth bag that Aunt Zhao handed over to him, there was a cultivator's introductory exercises, and it was better to choose a day than to hit the day, so he decided at the moment to start his own path of cultivating immortals tonight.

According to Aunt Zhao's meaning, he should get started first, and then practice the remaining two mortal mastery "Divine Skills" and "Cloud Piercing Sword" to defend himself on the road before he is allowed to go out to cultivate immortals.

I don't know who created the "Mixed Yuan Gong", the formula is only about a hundred words, but the annotations in the book are thousands, extremely detailed, and there are several illustrations. I don't know if it's because of the changes in the sea of knowledge, Li Si only read the content of more than 2,000 words twice and memorized them all, almost unforgettable.

As for his understanding of the exercises, because he was only getting started with the exercises, he didn't spend much effort to integrate the front and back.

According to the requirements of the formula, he closed his eyes and recited silently in the sea of knowledge, "Mixed element, the aura is not divided, chaos is one, and the beginning of the aura is also ......."

The first time, the second time, there was no change, and the third time started, the aura of the faint gossamer around had a slight movement, and slowly gathered towards Li Si, seeing that the magic had an effect, Li Si worked harder.

"The one who mixes the element, the aura is not divided, the chaos is one, and the beginning of the aura is also ......"

I don't know how many times, the aura gathered around Li Si was increasing, wrapping him like a giant cocoon woven by aura, and as the magic was chanted in his sea of consciousness, a small whirlpool gradually formed in the spiritual sea in Li Si's body. If the sea of knowledge is the place where the soul rests, this sea of spirit is the place where the human race stores the aura.

At first, the whirlpool was only in its shape, and slowly there were signs of turning, although it was as slow as time to freeze, but it was moving.

With this movement, the aura that wrapped him suddenly seemed to have received an order, first a trace of it silently drilled into Li Si's skin, and slowly approached the center of the whirlpool, just as it was about to merge into the whirlpool and become a part of the whirlpool, a purple lightning as thin as a gossamer flashed without warning.

After the purple lightning, the aura that should have been incorporated into the vortex inexplicably disappeared for the most part, and the remnants were only two or three out of ten. As for those spiritual auras that dissipated, Li Si didn't sense where they were scattered, as if there was a black hole in his body, swallowing up these spiritual aura.

This......

Suffering from this accident, Li Si had to stop cultivating.

According to the notes in the book, when a spiritual qi enters the body, it can refine about ninety percent, which is the ultimate cultivation qualification, while ordinary monks are generally around fifty.

After the aura is refined, it is not immutable in the body, it will naturally pass away with the difference in qualifications, so the monk must practice all year round, the realm will grow, if there is no cultivation for too long, it is very likely to fall into a realm, of course, this situation almost does not exist in the world of cultivating immortals, the improvement of each realm of the monk is not easy to come by, and no one will give up lightly.

"Fifty percent of ordinary monks, I'm afraid it's less than thirty percent, this qualification ...... , is he really not suitable for cultivating immortals?" Li Si's heart was full of confusion, and he was even a little shaken at that moment, but if he gave up lightly, he would not be the Li Si who could mix in the Xudu Mansion.

He took a few deep breaths, drained the distracting thoughts in his heart and closed his eyes again, "Mixed element, the aura is not divided, chaos is one, and the beginning of the aura is also ......."

After a while, a lot of aura gathered around him again, and the small whirlpool slowly turned again, followed by a trace of aura......

After a few breaths, Li Si opened his eyes, this time the refining was still the same as before, but two or three out of ten. But this time, he also discovered something strange, the aura that ordinary people had not refined would return to heaven and earth, and the aura that disappeared in his body did not have the slightest sign of flowing out of his body.

There was also the almost imperceptible purple lightning, he vaguely felt that that was the main reason for his cultivation abnormality, but he couldn't do anything about it.

Li Si unwillingly picked up the "Mixed Yuan Gong" in front of him, for fear that there would be mistakes and omissions before, so he read it carefully, but he turned it back and forth more than ten times, and he was still confused.

"If only that unfortunate man were alive, maybe he would be able to solve this puzzle. Li Si thought to himself.

Confused to confused, Li Si's cultivation did not end because of this, he chuckled and said to himself, "Anyway, there are two or three out of ten, but it's just a little lower than ordinary monks." ”

It is said that diligence can make up for clumsiness.

An hour later, with Li Si's unremitting efforts, the hundreds of spiritual qi gathered around were refined.

Feeling the emptiness around him, as well as the egg-sized mass of aura condensed into the sea of qi, Li Si was also relieved, because according to the annotation of "Mixed Yuan Gong", it usually takes about an hour for ordinary monks to refine such a large amount of aura for the first time to cultivate. The utilization rate of oneself is low, but the speed of refining spiritual energy is several times that of ordinary people, so the time spent in the end is almost the same.

Of course, refining qi into the body is far from enough, and then according to the steps of "Mixed Yuan Gong", it is necessary to condense these spiritual qi into liquid, so as to better reduce the loss of spiritual energy. This egg-sized air mass was condensed into a spiritual liquid that was only the size of a drop of water, and after condensing nine drops, the monk's realm would rise to the second level of qi refining.

Thinking that the egg he had finally refined was very likely to shrink into a quail egg, Li Si was not calm, closed his eyes and raised his mind, and he began to refine the small egg in the spiritual sea.

Originally, the first cultivation should be gradual and not done in one step, because this Qi refining is extremely depleting to one's divine consciousness, and if the divine consciousness is too strained, it is very likely to hurt the original source, and the gains outweigh the losses.

But when Li Si closed his eyes and recuperated, he found that he was a little stupid, because he didn't feel tired at all, and he couldn't raise any gods, just like forcing a person who had just woken up to sleep again, and it was strange to sleep.

This situation is a little different from what is recorded in "Mixed Yuan Gong", "Mixed Yuan Gong" only says that refining qi will make people tired, but does not say what happens when they are not tired, Li Si had to treat it as a local stall and continue to refine his eggs.

However, this refining qi into liquid, Li Si found that there was a little discrepancy with what was described in the book, it would have taken an hour or two for an air mass of this size to condense into liquid in his realm, but he could have done it in less than half an hour.

Looking at the drop of spiritual liquid suspended in the sea of qi, Li Si carefully checked it several times, and after conforming to the characteristics of the spiritual liquid recorded in the book, his heart settled down a lot.

But after a while, Li Si found that his state was too different from what was said in the book, and it stands to reason that he should be tired and sleepy now, but now he is not only completely tired, but even more refreshed than before refining qi, what kind of truth is this?
