Chapter 15, where the water is poor, the hibiscus appears

"It's been a long time since you've been here, Shangguan Yun. Pen %Fun %Pavilion www.biquge.info" Deacon Ji looked at Shangguan Yun with a smile, which could satisfy Elder Zhao and make him have a good impression of Shangguan Yun all the time.

"Yes, Deacon Ji, it's been ten months, please record it for me. Shangguan Yun respectfully handed the identity jade plate in his hand to Deacon Ji.

"A total of 100 contribution points, two taels of silver. Deacon Ji returned the recorded jade plaque to Shangguan Yun.

"Shangguan Yun, in addition to the task of guarding the medicine garden, there are some other tasks in the door, why don't you do it?"

"This, I didn't expect it, hehe, Deacon Ji, you also know that there is a lot of work in the medicine garden in Feiliu Valley. ”

"Yes, but you live alone in Feiliu Valley, and you don't have any contact with the other disciples in the sect, so it's not a problem, and there are elders in the lower courtyard who give lectures on cultivation issues every month, so it's still a big loss if you don't go. If you have time, you might as well run through the door. ”

"Thank you, Deacon Ji! "Shangguan Yun is still very grateful for Deacon Ji's reminder, but he is used to it, and he has no contact with other disciples, and he has never been careful. Originally, his interest was in the mountains and forests, so he didn't have much need to earn contributions or anything, but felt quite comfortable alone in Feiliu Valley. Now listening to Deacon Ji's reminder, I also begin to feel that it should not be a bad thing to earn more contribution points, after all, it can be exchanged for a lot of things, and I haven't listened to the elders' lectures for so long, and it really shouldn't be.

Coming out of the Deacon Hall, Shangguan Yun deliberately rushed to the Hall of Honor, which was responsible for distributing tasks, to see what tasks he could do. According to the difficulty of the task, the task of Changchun Gate is divided into four categories: A, B, C, and D, and the task of looking at the medicine garden by himself belongs to category D, but Zhao Laowei changed the contribution point to be equal to category C after ten o'clock every month.

Shangguan Yun took a closer look at the various tasks, which can be roughly divided into the following categories: hunting, gathering, investigation, maintenance, alchemy, etc., which are divided into different difficulties according to their difficulty or time. But in the end, Shangguan Yun himself smiled, these tasks either can't be done, or they are too lazy to do it, it seems that it is better to be as carefree as he was. In addition, for the time being, there is nothing I need to exchange, there is no need for exercises, and the thick earth technique, the gold condensing technique and the Danhuo technique have not been able to practice, as for the contribution of the pill itself, it is not cost-effective, not to mention that I can also learn to practice slowly.

In fact, Shangguan Yun has always had a regret, that is, he didn't have a suitable weapon, but Zhao Laowei said that he would go back and help him make that pair of fangs into a magic weapon, and now his cultivation is enough to control the magic weapon, so he can wait a little longer.

Idle, Shangguan Yun still went to the Tibetan Scripture Pavilion for a walk, one is to see if there is a suitable Dan Fang, the other is to see if there is a formation book, Zhao Lao Wei has always been interested in the phantom array in front of the cave, if he can have such a phantom array, then wouldn't hunting be much easier.

There were indeed some basic pills in the Scripture Pavilion, but there was nothing Shangguan Yun was interested in, and there was no formation book, so he had to give up.

Leaving the lower courtyard, Shangguan Yun went straight to Fenghua Town, exchanged the bear skin for some silver, and made three pots of wine for Zhao Laowei in one go, and then returned to Feiliu Valley.

That afternoon, Shangguan Yun didn't cultivate, but used the skin of the iron-maned beast to make a close-fitting inner armor for himself, and as for the fangs of the newly arrived pair of iron-maned beasts, he didn't think about how to use them for a while, so he put them away first.

In the next four months, Shangguan Yun stayed in the valley honestly, cultivating the thick soil technique at night, working in the garden in the morning, practicing the gold condensing technique and the Danhuo technique in the afternoon, and taking one day a week to alchemy. It's not that he doesn't want to hunt, but he feels that his ability is still too weak, he must be stronger, and he must wait until he can really hunt a demon beast before entering the mountain.

During this period, Old Monster Zhao sent over the bone bow made of the backbone of the iron-maned beast, and of course he brought some seven or eight new herbs, and said to himself that the medicine garden was still a little smaller. Although Shangguan Yun pretended not to hear, it took two months of hard work to open up another two acres of medicine garden, so that there was almost no free space in Feiliu Valley. On the second day after the medicine garden was opened, Zhao Laowei smiled and threw Shangguan Yun two Qi Gathering Pills, Shangguan Yun also generously accepted them, Zhao Lao Wei gave him a total of eight Spirit Gathering Pills, which is four hundred and eighty contribution points, thinking of this, Shangguan Yun couldn't help but secretly have fun, and felt that all the hard work he had paid was worth it! Other disciples may not have this benefit.

There are still four Gathering Spirit Pills left in his hand, Shangguan Yun doesn't plan to pick them like that anymore, he has to eat them, he has to eat them, it is the right thing to improve his cultivation as soon as possible, and when his cultivation is high, he will hunt demon beasts by himself, and get a few more Demon Pills!

After taking four Gathering Spirit Pills in a row, Shangguan Yun's Thick Earth Technique had faintly reached the consummation stage of the fifth layer of qi gathering, and he was about to break through the bottleneck of the sixth layer, so he began to cultivate even more desperately.

A month later, that is, one year and nine months after Shangguan Yun came to Changchunmen, Shangguan Yun finally ushered in the day when he broke through the sixth layer of the Qi Gathering Period. After meditating for two days and two nights in a row, under the constant impact of the aura in the dantian, after the whole body was shaken, Shangguan Yun's dantian expanded again, and the aura in his body instantly increased a lot, and the speed of absorbing aura also increased again.

It's a pity that Shangguan Yun doesn't know whether his cultivation speed is fast or slow, if he knows, maybe he will be a little proud! In the records of Changchun Gate, it took a year and five months for a disciple to reach the sixth level of the qi gathering period at the earliest, but it was an extremely rare mutated single spirit root disciple, and those double spirit root disciples with excellent qualifications had a similar speed to Shangguan Yun, as for a disciple with three spirit roots like him, it generally took more than three years, and some people even needed five years or more. The reason why Shangguan Yun was able to reach this speed was mainly because he was stained with the light of the Nine Dragon Fruit, the meridians in his body had already been dredged and transformed, and then there was the desireless and needless mentality and his diligence when he cultivated.

The sixth and ninth layers of the qi gathering period are the two most important hurdles in the qi gathering period, after the sixth layer, the aura in the body is more vigorous, and it is already possible to cast some more complex spells, and after the ninth layer, you can use some low-level magic weapons, it is said that you can also fly with the sword, as for the twelfth layer of the qi gathering period, it is the first leap in cultivation - building the foundation! However, cultivation can never be successful only by hard work, and the later the qi gathering period, the slower the speed of cultivation and improvement, because of qualifications, Shou Yuan and other reasons, many people will stay in the gas collection period for the rest of their lives, and they will not be able to build a foundation for the rest of their lives.

It is easy to collect gas for three, and after three years to the sixth floor.

Half a life of hard work may not be nine, can the white head build a foundation?

After this period of hard cultivation, Shangguan Yun's gold condensation technique and Dan Huo Technique have both been promoted to the sixth layer realm, and now Shangguan Yun can maintain the weapon of spiritual qi transformation for an hour, and the power has also increased greatly, and the four pills given by Zhao Laowei have also been able to practice skillfully, and the success rate of alchemy of six pills at a time has been close to seventy, which has greatly increased his confidence.

At this moment, Shangguan Yun was standing by the waterhole, the aura in his hand turned into a long knife, and he swung it towards a stone wall with all his strength.

"Bang" a splash of rubble, leaving a mark on the stone wall that is half a foot deep.

"I'm going into the mountain!!" Shangguan Yun raised his head and yelled!

Shangguan Yun drilled into the reckless mountain forest again, it was the golden autumn of September, clusters of red leaves could be seen in the mountain forest from time to time, and the colorful colors composed of a beautiful scenery made people feel relaxed and happy.

Familiar with the road, Shangguan Yun went upriver along the mountain stream, picking a lot of herbs and fungi along the way, now he disdains to hunt ordinary beasts, only hunted two unlucky forest musk deer, took two lumps of musk and half a piece of meat as bait, his goal is very clear, that is, the low-level demon beasts in the depths of the forest.

The stream gurgled all the way, twisting and turning out of the mountains, and the further you went, the denser the mountains and forests on both sides, the higher the peaks on both sides, and after three days, you had unconsciously entered a valley. The valley is densely covered with grass, and from time to time you can see trees full of wild fruits, but Shangguan Yun has no intention of enjoying the beautiful scenery, and walks more and more cautiously, not only those birds and beasts in the mountains and forests, but also those snakes and poisonous insects in the depths of the grass at all times.

With a wooden stick in his hand, Shangguan Yun kept pushing away the grass in front of him, carefully identifying every footprint and feces he found, which helped to determine the type of beast nearby. At this moment, his steps slowed more and more, and the smell of fishy smell in the air became thicker and thicker, letting him know that he was approaching the dwelling place of a great beast.

Following the stream, leaning sideways against the stone wall, carefully turning a raised stone cliff, the originally narrow valley suddenly opened up, and there was a small col at the end of the valley. Shangguan Yunmao bent down and crept up a big rock, lying there and looking down, and couldn't help but feel a burst of surprise in his heart.

This is a gourd-shaped col, there are steep cliffs on three sides, the direction from which you come is the only exit, the big head of the gourd is facing outward, there is a crescent-shaped waterhole in the middle, there is obviously a spring in the waterhole, it is bubbling outwards and churning bubbles, in this waterhole there are green water plants, but in the middle there is a plant that grows impressively, the leaves are like water lilies, the stem is like a lotus, the top of the stem is staring at a strange flower, this flower is also like a lotus, but there are three layers of petals, from the outside and inside are red, white and green, but the stamen is golden.

"Isn't this the three-color hibiscus?" Shangguan Yun's heart became ecstatic.

At the small head of the gourd, on an acre of square land, there are all kinds of animal bones piled up at will, and on the stone wall at the end of the animal bones, there is a deep hole, which is clearly the dwelling place of the big beast.

"I don't know what kind of beast is here, it seems to be guarding this three-color hibiscus, people say strange flowers and plants, there must be demon beasts, as expected. Shangguan Yun thought secretly.
