Chapter 13: The Deacon's Hall
"Senior Brother Liu, I don't know if the introductory exercises of this peak are the same as the five elements basic exercises that are circulating outside, I heard the meaning of the peak master just now, it seems that the introductory exercises of all branches in the sect are similar?" The young man named Huang Fei also asked at this time.
"Oh, Senior Brother Huang, in fact, all the Qi Refining Period exercises in the world are similar, and they are all within the scope of the Five Elements Exercises. It's just that the major sects have their own unique cultivation methods, and compared with the exercises learned by the outside world, the cultivation speed is faster, and the comprehension is more smooth. Even among the nine peaks of our Zixiao Sect, there are also differences, they are all the essence refined and summarized by countless predecessors and sages, and they are the treasures of the founding sect within the sect. Hearing this, Liu Feng replied.
As soon as he heard Liu Feng's words, Lu Xu suddenly understood a little, the Five Elements Exercises for Cultivating Immortals were simply rotten among the monks. The difference between the disciples of the sect and the loose cultivation is that the basic exercises of the five elements in the sect are the most suitable and cultivated exercises that have been summarized by the powerful people in the sect based on experience. The exercises learned by the Sanxiu are all obscure scriptures that have been handed down since ancient times. Between the two is like one standing on the shoulders of a giant, and the other is lying on the ground, making judgments.
That's it, along the way, Liu Feng rushed to the residence with the three of them, and casually answered some of their questions.
In the blink of an eye, the four of them came to a mountain full of large and small courtyards, and at the suggestion of this Senior Brother Liu, the three of them chose their own residences.
The place Lu Xu chose was a courtyard in the middle of nowhere, with two huts and a small courtyard.
After a few people chose a place to live, Liu Feng immediately took the three of them and flew towards the giant peak where the Zixiao Sect Deacon Hall was located.
Not long after, the flying magic weapon carrying everyone slowly landed outside a large hall of gold and red.
"Three junior brothers, this is our Zixiao Sect's Deacon Hall, which is where the internal affairs of the Prime Minister of the sect are located. It is mainly responsible for three parts, the first is to deal with all kinds of miscellaneous affairs in the sect, including assigning disciples to perform daily tasks and recording the merits of each disciple; the second is to issue rewards within the sect and count the contribution points of the disciples' sect; and the third is the internal affairs of the prime minister, distributing the benefits of the sect, wrapping clothes, spirit stones, standard magic weapons, and so on."
"Spirit stone. When Lu Xu heard this, he couldn't help but feel a move in his heart.
In Lu Xu's mind, there are a lot of memories of spirit stones, in the world of cultivating immortals, because gold and silver have no purchasing power for monks, in order to avoid the inconvenience of always bartering, so the immortal cultivators chose to use something called "spirit stone" as a transaction currency, buying and selling items among immortal cultivators.
As the name suggests, the "Spirit Stone" is a stone full of the aura of heaven and earth, and the aura it contains is an extremely nourishing thing for immortal cultivators.
Usually, if you absorb the spiritual energy in the spiritual stone when you meditate and practice, it will make the speed of the immortal cultivator's cultivation amazing, after all, the immortal cultivator himself absorbs and refines the scattered heaven and earth spiritual energy, and the pure spiritual energy is right next to you, allowing you to absorb and extract it at will, which are two different things. Just like Lu Xu's cheap father, if there is a sufficient supply of spirit stones, he will definitely not be able to cultivate more than the third or fourth layer of the Qi refining period in his life.
But the greatest effect of the spirit stone is not here. Its main use is still in the cost of deploying arrays and casting spells.
The success of a high-level magic circle, and how effective it is, often depends on the effectiveness of the spirit stones it uses, and a good spirit stone can not only ensure the success of the magic circle, but also greatly increase its power.
Just like the gravity array that Lu Xu experienced today, what maintained the operation of the formation was the spirit stone inlaid on the array plate in the hands of the blue-robed monk surnamed Tang.
And the number of spirit stones consumed to cast spells is far higher than the application of magic circles. Because the level and effectiveness of a cultivator's ability to cast spells are generally determined by his own mana cultivation, it is unlikely that he can use super-level spells on his own alone, so the spirit stone has become the best mana amplifier.
If the immortal cultivator can hold a spirit stone in his hand when casting a powerful spell, the spiritual energy in the spirit stone will continue to replenish the mana lost by the immortal cultivator when casting spells, which can support the caster to forcibly cast spells that could not be used originally.
Therefore, the spirit stone has become an excellent choice for immortal cultivators to fight fiercely and defeat the strong with the weak, and it is also the best tonic for recovering their original strength immediately after a large loss of mana, which can greatly increase their chances of survival in the battle.
With so many practical and incredible effects of the spirit stone, it naturally makes its value rise all the way.
But the spirit stones between heaven and earth are not endless, with the huge loss of spirit stones, the excessive exploitation of spirit stones and the increasingly scarce spirit stone veins, in today's immortal cultivation world, spirit stones have gradually become a precious luxury, the best guarantee for immortal cultivators' transactions, and become the unique circulation currency of immortal cultivators, and also jointly set out the detailed division of spirit stones specifications and grades.
Spirit stones are divided into four levels according to the amount of spiritual power they contain, including low-level spirit stones, middle-level spirit stones, high-level spirit stones, and top-grade spirit stones, and according to the different spiritual power attributes contained in spirit stones, spirit stones can also be divided into five element spirit stones such as gold spirit stones, wood spirit stones, water spirit stones, earth spirit stones, fire spirit stones, etc., in addition to some rare wind spirit stones, thunder spirit stones and other rare attribute spirit stones, of course, these spirit stones are even less.
"Senior Brother Liu, I don't know what this sect's contribution point is?" asked Guo Huai, who had never spoken, with a blank expression.
"Oh, the contribution points of the sect are one of the most important things in the sect, in addition to the ordinary disciples in the sect can learn some ordinary exercises of this peak for free, some high-level exercises cannot be easily taught, and can only be obtained by accumulating a certain amount of contribution points to the Tibetan Scripture Pavilion in the sect. And these contribution points can also be exchanged for some pills, talismans, immortal cultivation materials and other things in the sect, and even can be exchanged for various powerful secret magic powers, which can be said to be extremely effective. Liu Feng said with a hint of fire in his eyes.
When Lu Xu heard this, he immediately realized that this sect's contribution point could play a great role in his cultivation in the sect in the future, and he couldn't help but secretly write down every word of Liu Feng in his heart.
The four of them walked into the hall of the deacon hall as they walked.
The hall is about half an acre in size, the decoration is not very gorgeous, there is only a long square platform in the eye, there is an old man with gray hair standing behind the square platform, and there are five or six male and female monks in black robes standing in front of the old man, and at this moment respectfully listen to what the old man says.
"Senior Uncle Fang, the disciple has brought a few new junior disciples to receive the entry benefits. Liu Feng waited for a few people in front of the old man to leave, and then walked over with Lu Xu and the three of them, and said to the old man surnamed Chong Fang very respectfully.
"Well, this is your new disciple of Danyang Peak this year?" When the old man surnamed Fang saw Liu Feng, a smile suddenly appeared on his face, and he glanced at Lu Xu and the other three and said.
"Yes, Uncle Fang. The three junior brothers, this is Uncle Fang, who is in charge of housekeeping in the Deacon Hall. Liu Feng said respectfully when he heard this, and then motioned to Lu Xu and the other three to come forward to salute.
"I've seen Uncle Fang. Hearing this, Lu Xu and the others hurriedly stepped forward to give a salute.
"Well, don't be polite, you can come forward and report your name. The old man surnamed Fang nodded slightly, and said to Lu Xu and the others.
Lu Xu and the three of them reported their names one by one, and the old man took out a black book and verified it a little before walking to a room behind the square platform.
