Sun Hao's next days were extraordinarily leisurely, meditating and cultivating every day, pondering a few spells in the sect's jade slips when he was tired, and occasionally sitting and discussing with a few outer disciples in the neighborhood to exchange experiences.

He also unexpectedly found an acquaintance - Li Fatzi, he is now only a disciple of the first layer of condensation, and sometimes follows his cousin of the third layer of condensation, wandering around the outer door, but he has lost his former pretensence, and when he saw Sun Hao, he only exchanged a few words of greeting, it seems that he is not a person who does not know the times.

The aura in Sun Hao's body also increased little by little with the decrease of the pill, and a small sea of qi had formed in the dantian. As long as the hundreds of cyclones in the dantian completely turn into a sea of qi, they can reach the fourth layer of condensation.

It wasn't until a month later that Sun Hao suddenly found out that his pill had run out, and he had to stop this leisurely life.

Cultivation is a matter of competing with the heavens for time and resources with the earth, which is the point of view put forward by Sun Hao when he attended a gathering of outer disciples, a disciple with white hair and three layers of condensing qi.

This old man, who went up the mountain at the age of ten and struggled for fifty-three years, is the same as Sun Hao, and his surname is Sun. He worked hard all his life, but in the end, he only ended up with a three-layer condensation. He also knew that if he didn't have adventures, there would be no possibility of continuing in this life.

Life is rare for seventy years. Although this is nothing to a cultivator, as long as the foundation is built, it can increase the longevity of fifty or sixty years out of thin air, and living for more than a hundred years is the same as playing, but the difference between the third layer of condensation and the foundation is not as simple as a sword mountain and a sea of fire.

Old man Sun had already seen it, so he simply stopped continuing the meaningless cultivation, and spent every day in the outer sect, teaching some cultivation experiences in the first three layers of condensation to the disciples of the outer sect who were still young. At first, Sun Hao just felt that this old man was not enterprising, and it was better to meditate well if he had that kung fu, but when it came to himself, he understood the old man's words.

After Sun Hao ran out of pills, he sat cross-legged for a day and a night, and the final result was only a trace of aura, in the Dantian of Nuoda, it was like an ant in a big river, and he couldn't even lift the waves.

You must know that cultivation is not just a matter of inducing qi into the body. It is not an easy process for cultivators to inhale the perceived aura into their body and refine and compress it until they compress the aura that is not visible to the naked eye into the aura that can be seen. From perception to refining to absorption, all of them have strict requirements for the qualifications of cultivators, and the more pure the spiritual root, the faster the process. On the contrary, the more complicated the spiritual roots of the monk, the more laborious the process. Otherwise, there wouldn't be so many low-level monks, and they wouldn't be able to get out of the condensation period in their lifetime.

However, the wisdom of human beings is infinite, and they have noticed that all things in heaven and earth are also absorbing spiritual energy all the time, and some natural treasures, strange beasts and birds can even breathe spiritual energy on their own, and they can survive for hundreds of thousands of years by relying on spiritual energy. So the human beings paid attention to the demon beasts and the spirit grass, and used alchemy to turn the massive spiritual energy contained in the demon beast inner pill and the spirit grass into a small pill, in which the spiritual energy has been refined by alchemy, and has become an easy-to-absorb pure spiritual energy, so that the monk has a way to improve his cultivation in a short time.

Sun Hao understood that with his qualifications, if he cultivated independently, he would become the second old man Sun if he didn't say it well, and only by swallowing a large amount of pills could he become a high-level monk in his lifetime. As for how high it can be, it depends on creation.

Sun Hao didn't dare to delay, he heard that the outer disciples wanted to obtain the spirit stone pill, and they could only get a certain amount of remuneration if they did some miscellaneous work such as taking care of the spirit grass for the sect in the door. As for the inner disciples, they don't need to be so troublesome, they have a fixed amount to receive every month, although it is not much, it is barely enough for their own cultivation.

On this day, Sun Hao found the disciple who was in charge of the miscellaneous labor arrangement of the outer gate early and received the miscellaneous labor task. He thought a little funny that he had been a handyman before he entered the outer gate, but he didn't expect that after entering the outer gate, he still couldn't escape the life of being a handyman.

The task of managing handymen is very oily and troublesome. It is estimated that the sect was worried about disputes, so it specially sent an inner disciple of the fifth layer of condensation to take on this position. This disciple's name is Hu Zhengxiu, and he is a greedy person, and all the outer disciples who take over tasks from him will inevitably be exploited by him. He had a very bad reputation in the outer gate, and was secretly nicknamed Hu Pi by a group of disciples.

At this time, the Hu Papi was meditating under a tree outside the house, and when he saw another disciple coming to take over the task, he welcomed Sun Hao into the room with a smile on his face.

It's just that Sun Hao came for the first time, and he didn't know the doorway, so he didn't say it for a long time. Seeing this, Hu Zhengxiu snorted coldly, threw out a jade slip casually, and turned around to ignore Sun Hao.

Sun Hao looked at Yu Jian and found that most of the tasks in it were difficult to do and did not pay well. Some asked their disciples to look for some hard-to-find spirit grasses, some asked their disciples to go to the abandoned spirit mines in Dongshan to collect the blood of some demon beasts equivalent to the fifth layer of condensing qi, and even asked their disciples to go to Beihai to find thunder grass that had been around for hundreds of years. I want to have that thing and come here to take these tasks, Sun Hao thought helplessly.

He is not a stupid person, so he naturally already understands that this is Hu Zhengxiu's intention to make things difficult for him because of his inaccessibility. He smiled silently, took out a low-grade spirit stone, stuffed it into Hu Zhengxiu's sleeve without a trace, and said with a smile: "Senior Brother Hu, the junior brother has just arrived, and he doesn't understand the rules, so I bother Senior Brother Hu to give me some guidance, those tasks are easier to do." ”

Hu Zhengxiu turned his face at this time, and said with a playful smile: "Is this right, although it is your first time here, junior brother, the rules cannot be messed up." ”

After finishing speaking, he took out another jade slip from behind him, this time it was different from the jade slip just now, and the task inside changed to a new level. Basically, they are all jobs of taking care of spirit grass and raising spirit beasts, and the remuneration has almost doubled, and there is an extra line of small words behind these tasks, recording how many sect contribution points can be obtained.

Sun Hao was a little difficult and didn't know which one to choose. Hu Zhengxiu saw that Sun Hao was a little embarrassed, and said with a smile: "It seems that Senior Brother Sun is here for the first time, I don't know what task to choose, I'll give you some minds, you must know that this sect's task is as good as being still." The so-called Yijing refers to letting you go to find some rare spiritual treasures, these tasks are not only extremely difficult, but also long journeys, it is easy to delay cultivation, and the so-called Yijing refers to completing some work such as taking care of spiritual grass in the sect, although it is boring, but there is no danger, and you can still cultivate in addition to the task, killing two birds with one stone, and will not delay time. Moreover, the sect also added the sect contribution after many tasks, as long as the task is completed, you can get it, and the sect contribution can be exchanged for some magic weapons in the Treasure Pavilion, junior brother, you can consider it yourself. ”

Sun Hao nodded, picked for a while, and chose a task of taking care of medicinal herbs that was rewarded with five spirit stones, three harmony pills, and ten points of sect contributions, and needed to check the prohibition of the medicinal field every day for three months, and apply water to the spirit grass. Hu Zhengxiu didn't say anything more, just burned Sun Hao's name on Sun Hao's identity card and sect records.

Then he handed Sun Hao a token to open the prohibition of the medicine field and a water hyacinth to apply water to the spirit grass. This was the first magic weapon that Sun Hao came into contact with, although it had a single function, and the refining technique was extremely rough. It can only collect the water in the air and absorb it in the space of the gourd, and spray out the water when it is used. But Sun Hao still couldn't put it down and studied it carefully.

However, just as Sun Hao was about to go out, Hu Zhengxiu may have found out his conscience and instructed Sun Hao: "The task you took on is a little different, and the medicine field you take care of belongs to the Seventh Elder." He is a notoriously harsh and irascible person, and he has a great regard for the medicine field, and you have to take care of it with twelve points of care. If you go on a business trip, I'm afraid he'll slap you to death. ”

Sun Hao nodded, did not speak, but wrote it down in his heart. He went out without delay and went straight to the Seventh Elder's medicine field.

This medicine field is almost located on the top of Jinniu Mountain, where you can clearly see the buildings on the top of the mountain. The hall that Sun Hao had always longed to walk into was only a hundred zhang away from him at this time, but he couldn't see the details through the trees.

Sun Hao didn't do much emotion, what happened in the past few years But he understood that only strong strength can not look up to others, he took out the token, walked to the medicine field, used the token in his hand to break the ban, and walked in.

As soon as he entered the medicine field, Sun Hao felt a wave of aura rushing to his face, and the hundreds of spirit grasses sparsely planted in the medicine field were of many kinds, but they all exuded bursts of aura. This makes the aura here extraordinary, extremely rich, and it is simply the heaven and earth that is different from the prohibition. He involuntarily took a deep breath, feeling the aura in the air, a little intoxicated.

It was only after half a sound that he reacted and quickly stopped absorbing the aura. The aura of the medicine field is so strong that the sect specially uses the spirit gathering array and the prohibition of the lock spirit, and it is specially used to cultivate the spirit grass, if Sun Hao cultivates here for a few days, it will indeed get twice the result with half the effort, but the spirit grass here will die if it is not good. Sun Hao didn't want to bear the wrath of the Seven Elders, so he honestly took out the water hyacinth and injected the spiritual energy to apply water to the spiritual grass.

In the next few days, Sun Hao took care of the spiritual grass in the medicine field every day, and meditated and cultivated at night. However, without the assistance of pills, the effect of cultivation is still unsatisfactory.

Sun Hao simply suspended the cultivation of spiritual energy, and instead studied several spells introduced in the jade slip.

Jade Jian** recorded four spells, namely Light Body Technique, Fireball Technique, Soul Exploration Technique, and Exorcism Technique. The soul detection technique in it turned out to be a spiritual spell that Sun Hao had been thinking about.

Sun Hao was overjoyed, and first carefully looked at the spirit exploration technique, but the result disappointed Sun Hao. Soul detection is just a technique used to see the level of other people's aura, and there are restrictions, as long as other people's cultivation exceeds their own by a large section, they can't see clearly. But fortunately, the cultivation is very simple, just a simple use of spiritual sense, and Sun Hao can use it proficiently in less than a stick of incense.

He studied other spells, the light body technique is a blessing for himself, using the aura to thin the air around him, which can make himself as light as a swallow in a short period of time, a bit similar to the light skill of mortals. However, Sun Hao felt that the practicality was not strong, so he left it alone.

Next up is the Fireball Spell, the only offensive spell out of the four spells. The monk needs to use the aura in his body as a guide to gather the surrounding fire attribute aura to form a fireball in the form of a fireball, and attack the enemy under the control of the spiritual sense. Although this spell looks simple, it is not particularly simple to implement, and if you are not careful, it will converge and fail, so that the spell will be interrupted, and the monk needs to be skilled and master the trick of it.

Finally, there is the exorcism, which is the predecessor of the monk's sword technique, which allows disciples to use aura to drive some foreign objects to resist enemies.

This spell requires the monk to transform the aura into various shapes, wrapping around the foreign object like the palm of the hand to move. The mastery of the monk's aura is strict, and it also consumes special aura.

Sun Hao wanted to start with light objects at first, so he randomly found a few stones, and according to the law, he made the aura into the shape of a palm, and slowly approached. But before the aura could lift the stone, it lost control and shook the stone into pieces, which was the case several times in a row. Sun Hao had no choice but to pick a large object first, but the large object consumed an astonishing amount of aura.

He took a long time to lift a stone bench in the cave, and finally let it stagger half a foot off the ground, and the aura in his body was exhausted, and he had to stop to recover his aura.

Each of these four spells has its own merits and uses. Sun Hao had already mastered the soul exploration technique and decided to major in exorcism and fireball technique, and the light body technique that was a little chicken only understood it, and did not study it in detail.

In the next half month, Sun Hao had no leisure for a moment, taking care of the medicine field during the day, and practicing spells at night, and never went to the gatherings of those outer disciples.

At first, there were a few disciples who were a little curious about Sun Hao, and they visited a few times, but then they disappeared. The disciples of the outer gate gradually figured out this somewhat boring senior brother and did not bother again.

On this day, Sun Hao returned to the cave early, preparing to practice the exorcism technique again tonight, and strive to be able to lift the stone bench to a distance of three feet from the ground before the aura was exhausted. But when he arrived at the cave, he was shocked that the prohibition in front of his door had been broken by anyone.

Looking at the form of destruction, it should be a strong destruction, and several wooden stakes and stones used to arrange the formation were forcefully crushed into pieces.

Sun Hao's brows furrowed, and he didn't know whether he should enter the cave to investigate. Although all his belongings are in storage bags, this cave is his foothold, and it is difficult for him to spend the night in the wilderness.

He hesitated for a while and decided to go to Feng Dewei to deal with the matter, but just as he was about to turn around, a crisp female voice suddenly came from inside the cave: "Is it Senior Brother Sun Hao outside the cave, come in, I have something to ask you." Don't worry, I won't hurt you, and if you dare to run, don't blame my men for being ruthless. ”
