Chapter 42: The End of the Retreat The Five Layers of Qi Training
Time has passed in a hurry, and half a year has passed.
In the past six months, Zhang Budong's cultivation has been very smooth, and he has not encountered any major bottlenecks. One reason is that the "Great Yan Jue" can be cultivated together with the "Spirit Beast Hundred Changes", and the other is because of the uninterrupted use of the cultivation room, so the spiritual energy in the body accumulates very quickly, and it soon penetrates the meridians of the whole body, using twice the efficiency of others, reaching the critical point between the primary and intermediate levels of qi training.
Of course, Zhang Budong also encountered some problems during his cultivation, but he just stopped and thought about it carefully, and he passed it easily. Zhang Budong's current cultivation has reached the fifth level of Qi training, and the mountains and seas realm call the first to fifth layers of Qi training the first level of Qi training, the sixth to tenth layers are called the intermediate level of Qi training, and the last three layers of Qi training are called the late stage of Qi training. Zhang Budong has now reached the critical point of the initial level of Qi cultivation and the intermediate level of Qi training.
Because of the help of the ruffian dragon's essence and blood, now that he can run the first transformation of "Spirit Beast Change", he can already see a phantom of a green dragon on the periphery of his body. At the same time, the bloodline of the Qinglong clan also allowed him to master several spells of the Qinglong clan, which greatly increased the strength of the body. He also mastered some of the secret magic powers of the Qinglong clan.
At the same time, Zhang Budong's body in the Copper Leaf World, because the "Great Yan Jue" is particularly in line with the Tao of the Copper Leaf World, so it is cultivated to a level five different from the five layers of Qi cultivation in the Mountain and Sea Realm. Zhang Budong's other body in the Copper Leaf World had successfully broken through the small barrier between the primary and intermediate levels, and had actually reached the seventh level of Qi cultivation.
However, Zhang Budong was told by his master that there must be Zhang Youchi in cultivation, and laying a good foundation is the most important thing. Being too eager for quick success will affect your cultivation in the future, and it will easily lead to a lack of stamina and an unstable foundation. Zhang Budong himself is not the kind of honest monk who retreats and cultivates, so he is very quiet and wants to go out for a walk.
Now that he has decided to slow down his cultivation, Zhang Budong will no longer hesitate. He now knew that the disciples of the Imperial Beast Sect could enter the natal spirit beast area of the spirit beast realm to find their own natal spirit beast at the third level of qi training, and he should also go to participate in the natal spirit beast trial.
And the ruffian dragon has been urging him since he learned the news of the natal spirit beast, saying that he can't let the price of his own drop of essence blood be in vain. Let Zhang Budong hurry up and participate in the trial and find his natal spirit beast, Zhang Budong thinks he should also go to find it. After all, as a disciple of the Imperial Beast Sect, he didn't even have his own natal spirit beast, so he really couldn't be called a disciple of the Imperial Beast Sect. Zhang Budong is going to take a look at Wang Xin's situation in the outer sect first, since he has accepted Wang Xin as a junior brother, he can't ignore this little brother, I don't know if Wang Xin has participated in the natal spirit beast trial, whether they can participate together, so that they can help him.
Master Hyacinth expressed his joy that he had cultivated to the fifth level of Qi cultivation, and praised him for being worthy of the spirit body of all things and the "Spirit Beast Change". Let him keep trying. At the same time, he also agreed that he was going to participate in the trials of the outer gate, and it was never their master-apprentice style to stay in retreat. After instructing the attendant to bring him ten low-grade spirit stones to prepare for the trial, he let Zhang Budong retreat. In fact, Hyacinth can also give Zhang Budong more spirit stones, but he is afraid that Zhang Budong will use spirit stones to buy too many magic weapons such as blasting pills, and he will not be able to play the role of training himself.
Zhang Budong bid farewell to his master Hyacinth, walked out of Xiangyu Peak, and went to the outer courtyard. He was very curious about how that fat little brother was cultivating now, and he didn't know if he had been bullied. Got their own natal spirit beast no.
After coming to the outer courtyard, he saw that many disciples were walking in the direction of a square, and most of them were not in retreat and cultivation as he had imagined. After asking, I learned that there was a foreign elder from the foundation building period who came to explain the cultivation problems to them today, and these disciples rushed over to listen to the lecture.
Zhang Budong thought about it, since it was a sermon for all the disciples in the outer court. Wang Xin's fat man must have gone too, so he turned around and walked towards the dojo with the crowd.
There was a high platform in the middle of the preaching hall with a futon on top of it. Smaller futons lay on the ground around the platform. Zhang Budong guessed that the one in the middle should be the elder who explained the problem. The small futon is for the disciples who listen to the lecture and ask questions.
Zhang Budong didn't have any special exceptions to walk alone, and he also learned from the disciples in front of him, so he chose a futon and sat down. Although he has a Yuanying master, each monk has a different understanding of the Tao, and he should give enough respect to everyone who preaches the Tao, and maybe he can touch the same path.
There is an allusion to this in the realm of mountains and seas, and there are rumors in the cultivation realm that when a primordial monk plays the world, he hides his identity. I listened to an old gentleman's class by mistake, so the story of the epiphany and finally breaking through to the realm of transforming gods has become a good story in the cultivation world. This allusion is often used by senior monks to educate their younger disciples, so that they know that there is a precedence in hearing the Tao, and that cultivation is not the only criterion for measuring the understanding of the Tao.
The person who came to preach for the disciples was an old monk in the foundation building period with white hair and beard, and he sat on the futon in the middle unhurriedly, and kindly arched his hand to the junior disciples in the audience, and then said:
"Dear disciples of the Outer Court, I am the elder of our Outer Court. In the sect, he is a little monk in the foundation building period, and due to the limitation of qualifications, he cannot break through to Jindan in this life. But because of this, I concentrated more on studying the basic exercises, and I realized that I had a deep understanding. If you have any questions, please ask me. After speaking, he quietly looked at the disciples below, waiting for the disciples to ask questions.
At this time, a disciple took the lead in raising his hand and asked, "Elder, I have a question. The last time I participated in the trial, I obtained my own natal spirit animal. How do you judge its qualifications?"
The elder on the stage paused: "The Natal Spirit Beast is born based on your own blood and the perception of the Natal Spirit Beast egg, and the type and level of qualification are also related to the materials you invested at that time. My Imperial Beast Sect has a trial task about cultivation materials, and if you do the task well, you can refine the hatching liquid for incubating natal spirit beasts. If a good hatching liquid and its own qualifications are good, the qualifications of the natal spirit beasts will be high. ”
"What about the initial form of the natal spirit beast, does it have an impact on the growth of the spirit beast?" another disciple asked.
"The initial form is naturally the higher the rank, the better, and our Imperial Beast Sect divides the initial form of the natal spirit beast into four levels. Premium, Superior, Medium, Inferior. I see that this Wu Zhen chicken next to you is a kind of medium-sized spirit beast, and it is expected to break through to Jindan if you cultivate it slowly. The elder replied.
"Then I think my pearl pig is the initial form of an inferior natal spirit animal, is it hopeless in my life. This was a disciple who listened to the elder's words and asked in great frustration. Beside him crawled a lazy little white-skinned suckling pig.
"This, it's just relative. If you have enough chance. It can still be cultivated slowly, and the qualifications can also be improved. Don't be discouraged if you can't be promoted. Our Imperial Beast Sect still has other cultivation methods that can improve its combat power. Although the elder's words were extremely encouraging, everyone could tell that the initial form of this natal spirit beast would still affect the path of cultivation in the future.
Although this elder said so, in fact, his own natal spirit beast was an inferior initial form of a natal spirit beast. For so many years, it has been paused in the foundation building period, which has a lot to do with the qualifications of the spirit beast. However, in order for the disciple not to be discouraged, he still spoke very widely. Although the Imperial Beast Sect has other exercises, it is naturally more than a step inferior to the strongest Imperial Beast Technique in this sect.
After that, some disciples asked some questions about cultivation, Zhang Budong had already practiced the fifth level of qi, most of the questions asked by these disciples had already passed, and even some of them passed without feeling it at all, but after listening to them, he still benefited a lot. I don't know if it was blocked by others, he looked for it and didn't see the chubby figure. If it weren't for Wang Xin's sudden weight loss in the past six months, then he was really not here.
The hour-long answer to the question was quickly over, and the elder on the stage stroked his sleeve and left. However, the lingering sound lingered in the ears, and the elder's words made the disciples in the audience still have a lot of unfinished thoughts, and they had quite a lot of insights into the elder's explanation. Some of them communicated with each other on the spot, and some monks even cultivated on the spot.
Zhang Budong seized the opportunity to find an acquaintance in the crowd. I saw an outside disciple who was also participating in the trial with him, and even received the favor of his Lei Feng identity. So he asked the disciple, "Where is the fat man Wang Xin who participated in the trial with you?"
The disciple recognized him, although he hadn't seen Zhang Budong appear since joining the outer gate. However, the outer door is so big, it is not necessary that he and Zhang Budong just missed it. He smiled bitterly: "That Wang Xin is in a little trouble." I'm probably recuperating from my injuries now. ”
"What? what's wrong with him? Is it a disciple of the family?" Zhang Budong wondered if Lei Feng's incident was known to the Liu family, but it was impossible. He hasn't started to show up yet, how did the Liu family doubt him, and how did he find Wang Xin.
"It's not a disciple of the family, it's a disciple of our outer court. It's not for women to be jealous. This disciple told Zhang Budong in detail what happened.
Zhang Budong learned after listening to it that the fat man was more righteous because he would come to things, and he made friends after coming to the outer door. In a trial, I met a female cultivator named Zhou Tingting, and helped the female cultivator a little, and slowly the two became more and more familiar, so they participated in the trial together.
Later, some other male cultivators who were interested in the female cultivator looked jealous, and felt that why the fat man Wang Xin could practice with Zhou Tingting. My heart is very unbalanced, so I make trouble for the fat man in the trial. As a result, the fat man failed in the Natal Spirit Beast Trial Mission, and he was also injured a lot.
That fat man is actually going to fall in love? Zhang Budong feels very unfair, he has never been in love in his two lives.
Half worried, half happy for the fat man, and a little jealous. Zhang Budong thanked the disciple and walked towards the place where the fat man had told him to cultivate.
