Chapter 3 Xiuzhen Youth
Kaizhe Island, which is extremely large, is formed by thirteen small islands. There are no hills on the island, except for the main island, the rest of the islands are full of dense forests. This island is an island that has been managed by the elites of the True Martial Hall and opened up for the cultivation of new disciples. That is, the spirit crystal mines to be excavated, and there are also dense forests where monsters exist.
At this moment, in a flat and open place on the main island, there are nearly a thousand people standing. Looking carefully, the crowd stood faintly in more than ten circles from the inside to the outside. The five circles in the center are small, but they seem to be the most imposing. With a gesture, the momentum around him was concealed.
On the high platform in the open space, a person said loudly: "My name is Xu Huaiyuan, and I am in charge of all matters for this new disciple under the instructions of Elder Jun. After a pause, he said: "The sect has followed the assessment rules for tens of thousands of years, and everyone may have heard of it. In order not to waste time, please read the booklet you have received. If you have any questions, please ask me directly.
The cultivation method of this sect emphasizes the word 'enlightenment', and you must not come to me unless you have to. For the rest of the matters, please be responsible for each junior brother alone, and you can identify the senior brother who is responsible for your own group. In order not to delay everyone's time, now, please collect the goods in order, and do not make trouble. ”
Under the high platform where Xu Huaiyuan stood, there was a stone table more than ten zhang long, and fifteen people stood at an even distance behind the table. Everyone was smiling and looking at each other. The new disciples stepped forward one after another. Items to be received: a set of blue and white robes, five spirit crystals, two pamphlets, and a jade talisman.
Dugu Yangming and Linghu Xuzheng are the last of the fifteenth team. When the two approached, it was already dark. Which of the sect disciples in charge yelled impatiently: "I said if you two can hurry up." Without waiting for the two to react, "Boom, boom" twice, clothes and other things were thrown over directly.
Dugu Yangming reacted quickly, and steadily took down the clothes, booklets, and jade talismans, but because the spirit crystals were too small, they all fell to the ground. When someone was leaving, Dugu Yangming shouted: "Thief, why is our booklet different from someone else's?"
Ling Hu Xu was picking up ten spirit crystals and said with a smile: "Second brother, where is our cave mansion?"
"Damn, the two of us are in a jade mansion, and we must live in the same broken cave mansion. As for where it is, I don't know!
The two of them walked slowly on the walkway paved with big bluestone, wanting to ask people, but they couldn't even see a figure. The two of them walked along a straight road for nearly an hour, and the sky was already completely dark. When passing by an intersection, Dugu Yangming stopped and looked at the jade talisman repeatedly.
After a moment, he said slowly, "It should be this ghost place!" he said, stepping into a dark, damp passageway. Ling Hu Xu was following closely behind, without saying a word. Walking to the innermost stone door, Dugu Yangming touched the stone door with his hand, stretched out his hand and pressed it, and the stone door made a dull sound of "clang".
"Second brother, you're still amazing, you'll find it right at once!"
Dugu Yangming didn't speak, he walked into the room first and touched the wall with his hand. After a while, another press was pressed, and the entire cave lit up.
Ling Huxu was smiling and jumped in, and said loudly: "How can this be?" Excitedly grabbed Dugu Yangming and asked eagerly: "Second brother, how do you know this?"
"I saw this little trick when I was eight years old. The thing that illuminates is a kind of jade refined with great mana, and it can be driven with this talisman. After explaining, he said, "Fourth, it's just a stone bed, you can sleep on the bed! In the future, when you cultivate, you will just sit on the bed. It's more convenient. ”
As soon as Dugu Yangming finished speaking, he threw away the things in his hand indiscriminately and fell asleep. Ling Hu Xu is knowing that no one can change what his second brother has decided. So, fold the clothes, put the booklet straight, and divide the spirit crystal into two parts. Then he took the door of the cave and went to sleep soundly on the stone bed.
The next day, when Ling Huxu woke up, he saw Dugu Yangming flipping through two booklets. Hurriedly asked, "Second brother, have you already started cultivating?" You are so smart, you must be able to see it. ”
Dugu Yangming shook his head and said, "The thieves in this evil sect are really cunning. The contents of these two booklets are completely different. This blue booklet is the same as everyone else's, and the cultivation methods written are relatively clear and easy to understand. This yellowed booklet, with just the number of words, is more than 10,000. What's worse is that there are some words that I don't recognize. ”
Ling Hu Xu came over with a smile and said, "Second brother, you say, could this be the ancient Dao method that has been missed? Then, if we cultivate, we can penetrate the heavens and the earth and be omnipotent." ”
Dugu Yangming looked at Linghu Xuzheng in surprise, and said angrily: "Where did you hear these crooked words?"
"Second brother, have you forgotten! When we were wandering around Wanzhou, we often heard some people say in some teahouses and restaurants, who got the inheritance of a certain god in ancient times, and who got the ancient relics. ”
"Tsk! You're really good enough! You believe this kind of nonsense!"
"Is it impossible?"
"I really don't know how to say about you! You don't want to think about it, what is the origin of this True Martial Palace? If it is really like what you said, doesn't it mean that which Yuan Dan Realm great real people in the True Martial Palace are stupid pigs, and they can leave such an important thing in the hands of some kind of inferior thief disciple? This matter, thinking about it with your ass, is also impossible. ”
"Second brother, if you say that, it's really possible!"
"Fourth, since you're here, you can cultivate with peace of mind. Don't think about these useless things. He said thoughtfully: "In the future, you will cultivate on this blue booklet, and I will take a look at this yellow booklet first." ”
"Second brother, let's refine the blue booklet together, isn't it okay? You don't have to worry about it. ”
Ling Huxu was chattering while flipping through the blue booklet, and suddenly heard the sound of sleeping. I couldn't help but shake my head, put away the booklet, took the jade talisman, and walked out of the house.
Facing south of the main island of Kaizhe Island, there is a large hall called the Pioneer Hall. It is the place where the sect issues tasks. These tasks can not only be used by new disciples to practice, but also can increase the meager income of the sect, and new disciples can also obtain the necessary spiritual crystals for cultivation within the scope of their ability.
At that moment, it was full of people standing inside, whispering to each other. Someone said: "The tasks given by the sect, such as feeding the young beasts in the Beast Hall, alchemy in the Dan Hall, and picking up stone shells in the Array Hall, have all been taken up by the children of the family. We can only do some hard work such as cutting bamboo, killing scorpions, and peeling fish. ”
Someone followed and said: "Feeding animals is just washing the animal cage and feeding it on time." Alchemy is only to identify spiritual materials and burn the furnace. The real big harvest is naturally demon hunting, mining, spiritual cultivation, array protection and the like. It's a pity that we don't have the Tao to do it. ”
Someone sighed: "Those easy tasks, there are still fixed places." It has long been booked for the children of the family. It seems that I can cut down bamboo. Anyway, three black bamboos can also be exchanged for a spirit crystal. ”
When it was almost noon, only a small number of people, happy and colorful, walked to the lobby. Most of them, with a sad face, slowly left. Maybe it's because he didn't get a good task, a teenager on crutches didn't attract much attention. After pausing for a moment in front of the green, red, yellow, purple and other different planks, the person also left with the crowd.
"Second brother, wake up, something is wrong!"
"What's the big deal! What the hell can be in this place?"
"Second brother, I followed the crowd and went to the Pioneer Hall, where there were various tasks promulgated by the sect. As long as it's done, it'll give us spirit crystals! I don't remember as well as you, and I haven't memorized a few tasks after reading it once. ”
"Fourth, don't we each have five spirit crystals? Use these cultivation first, if the cultivation goes well, maybe we can quickly reach the initial level of the Qi Refining Realm. When the time comes, your body will be stronger. Besides, those tasks will definitely not be easy to go there. Let's wait a minute. ”
"Then, when is it better to cultivate the cultivation method of this True Martial Palace?"
"Zi Mao Wu You! According to my speculation, Zi Shi may be the best! Hey, by the way, Fourth, you must memorize the contents of the blue book before cultivating. Otherwise, if something goes wrong, it's going to be in trouble. ”
On Kaizhe Island, every day from the beginning of the hour, there will be people floating, and the voices will be everywhere. Some went to the bamboo forest alone, and some went to kill scorpions in groups. Some of the children of the family are leisurely and leisurely all day long, and they don't worry about any cultivation spiritual materials at all.
In terms of cultivation, almost every child of the family will be personally assigned by the senior brother of the sect's divine artistic conception every three days. Entering the country is a big festival for children beyond ordinary people.
It's just that cultivating the truth is cumbersome and difficult, and it is extremely difficult to understand. For people's qualifications, the requirements are extremely high. People with dull qualifications and blocked bones, even if they lie in the spiritual material library and climb on the elixir bed, it will not help. And when cultivating, the emphasis on inducting spiritual power into the body, and the backlash on the body brought about by it, is also very bearable. This is only the most basic cultivation need. The higher the cultivation level, the more necessary it is to penetrate life and death and break through the entrance.
For some children from ordinary families, everything has to be on their own. Even if the talent is wonderful, it is still difficult to achieve success in the case of spiritual material limitations.
For example, Dugu Yangming, within a month of coming to the island, did not start cultivating, just because he still couldn't understand the content of the yellow booklet for a while, and there was nowhere to ask.
On this day, Dugu Yangming was pondering the contents of the yellow booklet in the cave, repeatedly comparing eighty-one words. Because these eighty-one words, one is that I don't know it, and the other is based on feeling, and it is precisely at the key point. It's just that he looks at cultivation quite plainly, cultivating one day early and one day late, and he doesn't care at all.
Ling Hu Xu couldn't help it, so he spoke: "Second brother, don't continue to ponder, hurry up and cultivate according to the content on the blue book." You don't go out and walk around all day, and you don't know anything about the outside world. Within a month, three hundred people had already entered the initial stage of Qi Cultivation Realm. This matter has already alarmed the elders in the sect. In a few days, I will be able to cultivate to the first level of Qi Cultivation Realm. ”
After thinking for a while, he said, "According to my cultivation, one spirit crystal is just enough for one month. Next, we have to go and get the mission. ”
Dugu Yangming glared at him and said loudly, "What are you panicking about? Those nine spirit crystals are enough for you to cultivate for nine months." Suddenly, he smiled and said, "Don't say it, since you started cultivating, this thin body has begun to grow significantly stronger. He waved his hand again and said, "Don't worry! Guarantee, it will not cut off your cultivation path. It's just that I can't figure out this broken booklet for a while. As he spoke, he couldn't help but scold.
Linghu Xuzheng was also helpless, there was no way to take his second brother.
The next day, Ling Hu Xu was going out as usual, to listen to some new things happening on the island, as well as some anecdotes in the sect. When he returned to the cave as usual, he cried and shouted: "Second brother, what's wrong with you? Don't scare Xiaosi!" While crying, he quickly helped Dugu Yangming, who was crawling on the ground.
I saw Dugu Yangming's eyes wide open, bleeding from his seven orifices, and a handsome face, but he looked extremely terrifying. The whole person, his hands drooped, his limbs were cold, and he only had breath in his throat, but not breath in. His mind seemed to be still clear, and he shook his head slightly, signaling Ling Hu Xu to close the door of the cave.
Ling Huxu was gently put down, and quickly closed the door before returning to the second brother. Tears welled up and my body trembled.
After a few "grunts" in Dugu Yangming's throat, he was finally able to make a faint voice and said, "Little four, I'm fine, just rest for three more hours." ”
Linghu Xuzheng seems to have always believed in the words of the second brother, but this time, he has been uneasy. His eyes didn't dare to leave the moment, and he stared straight at the second brother's face.
At the time of Shen, Dugu Yangming's face began to return to ruddy; when he was unitary, the temperature of his limbs was normal; when he was in the middle of the day, his breath was even; and when he was in the morning, the blood stains in the seven orifices disappeared. Dugu Yangming finally returned to normal.
sat up, and scolded loudly, not only scolding himself for being cheap, but also scolding the thieves of the True Martial Palace, designing to frame himself. scolded for a quarter of an hour before resting.
Ling Hu Xu laughed loudly, and then said with a straight face: "Second brother, you still don't want to cultivate this evil sect's method." It's also scary. ”
"Little Four, don't be too presumptuous, when will you let you call the shots about the second brother's affairs! ”
Since Dugu Yangming began to cultivate according to the method he had attained, for forty-nine consecutive days, he had seven orifices and six bloods, and his limbs were cold. During this period, every time I practiced, my body became comfortable. Later, it became uncomfortable if you didn't cultivate.
When it was the fiftieth day, everything returned to normal, and he successfully advanced from the stage of quenching the body and benefiting qi to the initial stage of qi cultivation.
On the fiftieth day, the two looked at the remaining spirit crystals, and Dugu Yangming said: "In fifty days, I used up three and a half spirit crystals by myself. Tomorrow, we'll go get some quests and earn spirit crystals. ”
"Second brother, this cultivation method of yours seems to have a lot of demand for spirit crystals. Almost, one for fifteen days. ”
"Well, it's quite evil, if I hadn't sucked half more, I wouldn't have faked my death every day. ”
"Second brother, it's still early today, let me tell you what I heard! As for the Qi Realm, you can only cultivate the first-order Dao Method. In the first-order Dao method, the two series of Dao methods of wind and thunder are twice as expensive as the other five Dao methods.
There are hundreds of first-order Dao methods of metal, wood, water, fire, and earth in the Baiyuan Pavilion, and each Dao method requires one hundred and twenty spirit crystals.
At present, among our batch of 990 people, nine people, including Gong Yingyi and Wu Hanxu, are the most famous. I heard that they have been targeted by the elders of the sect and specially cultivated. If you stay in Buzhou Mountain, you will become a personal disciple. ”
Ling Hu Xu was talking with relish, and when he saw Dugu Yangming but was absent-minded, he asked, "Second brother, what do you want?"
"I didn't expect that the Dao Breaking Method would be so expensive!
"Second brother, this time, you are wrong. This is already very cheap, everyone says, it's only worth one hundred and twenty spirit crystals!"
Dugu Yangming covered his face and said melancholy: "Could it be that you only cultivate the first-order Dao method?" Looking at Ling Hu Xuzheng, who was embarrassed, he said calmly: "Hurry up and rest, starting tomorrow, but you will have to run for the spirit crystal." ”
