Chapter 17: Cultivation is Difficult
Ask for recommendations, ask for collections
A faint layer of red light penetrated through the coarse cloth clothes and came out of Zhang Peng's whole body. I saw that at this time, his eyes were closed, his face was thoughtless, and he sat cross-legged on the stone bed made of bluestone as usual. But if someone takes a closer look, they will find that at this time, a layer of fine beads of sweat has already appeared on his forehead.
It didn't take long for him to slowly withdraw the mana in his meridians to the dantian, and the thin red aura that was originally shrouded in his body gradually dissipated.
This was the eighth Great Zhou Tian that he had been running the Burning Sun Technique in a row today, and it was already the limit of what his body could run the Burning Sun Technique. If he continued to forcibly exercise, he knew that his meridians would crack like the last time, and he would taste the inhuman pain caused by the rupture of the meridians again.
I don't know if it's his luck, that time in the mysterious cave of the West Mountain Ridge once experienced an even more intense pain. So the last time the meridians were broken, he gritted his teeth and persevered until he had collected the exercises, and then he fell to the ground and rolled over.
If you don't disperse the exercises, stop the movement at will, which is one of the absolute prohibitions mentioned in the exercise book. At worst, the meridians will be wiped out, and you will not be able to cultivate again, or at worst, you will go mad and die.
Although he didn't know if the rupture of the meridians would have any impact on his cultivation in the future, he didn't practice again in the following month because there was no one to treat him.
There is no other reason, there is a detailed explanation and treatment of this in his blue book, but after all, he is not even a rookie who cultivates immortals, so he can only put down his cultivation and quietly wait for the meridians to heal themselves.
In the early morning of the second day, Zhang Peng was in the medicine garden for a while, when a sound came out of the thatched hut in the middle, and then Zhang Peng rushed out of the corner of the medicine garden with lightning and rushed towards the thatched hut.
"Senior Brother Lin, you call me. There is something that needs to be done by the junior and disciple. Zhang Peng bowed respectfully and said.
"Hmph, of course I'm calling you, you stupid pig. Senior Brother Lin said with a cold face and an arrogant tone.
"Please also ask the senior brother to command. Zhang Peng replied without raising his head.
"Go and make a pot of Biling tea for my senior brother. Senior Brother Lin coldly pointed to a jade pot on the bluestone table and ordered.
"Yes, brother. Zhang Peng agreed, and walked towards the bluestone table.
"Senior brother, please give me tea. Zhang Peng opened the jade pot and found that there was nothing in it, he knew that this was the beginning of today, but he still said stubbornly.
Sure enough, when he heard Zhang Peng say this, Senior Brother Lin's cold face suddenly appeared angry, and with a move towards Zhang Peng, Zhang Peng involuntarily ran towards Senior Brother Lin, and then the sound of punching and kicking gradually sounded in the hut.
After a cup of tea, he looked at Zhang Peng, who was already covered with blood on the ground. Senior Brother Lin showed a satisfied smile on his face, and then spat at Zhang Peng's bruised, red and swollen face, and then clapped his hands and walked out of the house.
Nearly half an hour later, an insincere and benevolent young man who had been beaten walked slowly towards the door with a resolute gaze.
In the month that he got along with this Senior Brother Lin, every day this Senior Brother Lin would torture and insult him in different ways. Although every time he was humiliated to the extreme, he was beaten half to death.
However, Zhang Peng did not give up and begged for mercy, after coming into contact with the Immortal Dao. He inexplicably had an inexplicable thought in his heart, which made him unwilling to give up and admit defeat easily.
And it is precisely by relying on this thought that Zhang Peng can stand up to today at the threshold of death and abandonment again and again.
But also because of this, Zhang Peng's cultivation heart for becoming an immortal and attaining the Tao has also become tenacious from ordinary people. And this Senior Brother Lin has also become the person who must be killed in his heart
Time flies, three months are fleeting. In the early morning, Zhang Peng felt the slightest mana in his body as usual.
After two months of hard cultivation, coupled with a bottle of Pei Yuan Dan, he hadn't even been able to break through the first layer of Qi cultivation, but he had a mana as thick as cotton in his body. This made him deeply feel the difficulty of cultivation and the terrible qualifications of his own qualifications.
Before he had time to sigh any more, he immediately collected the exercises and hurriedly walked out of the thatched hut to wait.
There is no other reason, today is the day when his Senior Brother Lin left the medicine garden, and it is also the day when he ended his hellish life.
Although Zhang Peng hated this Senior Brother Lin to the core, he would never do something stupid because of this, and he would not be a little less polite now.
About a tea time later, Senior Brother Lin walked out of the thatched hut in the middle with a spring breeze on his face, and was stunned when he saw Zhang Peng, who was standing outside the thatched hut, waiting early.
But then he thought of something, and took the initiative to greet Zhang Peng, and he could see that he was really happy.
"Senior Brother Zhang, Senior Brother is going to leave this unlucky medicine garden from today, and I don't have to delay my cultivation by taking care of the medicine garden anymore. In the future, you will only be left here, Senior Brother Zhang has to take good care of him as a baby, otherwise even if the contribution of the master is half, Senior Brother Zhang can only sell himself and make up for it. Senior Brother Lin said with a slight flirtation.
"Thank you Senior Brother Lin for your guidance, Senior Brother remembered. Zhang Peng said calmly without humility or arrogance.
"Hahaha, since Senior Brother Zhang has already made it clear, then now I will officially hand over the Medicine Garden to Senior Brother. Senior Brother Lin laughed and said as he walked, no, he kicked and hit some spiritual grass branches and leaves that blocked the way, but he didn't bother him. It seemed that he was so disgusted with everything that he didn't want to stay for even a quarter of an hour.
Aiming a dark green jade plaque at the five-color light curtain in front of him, the scene when Senior Brother Yu brought Zhang Peng here three months ago reappeared, and soon the five-color light curtain in front of him revealed a large passage.
Senior Brother Lin walked out excitedly, as if he would immediately break through the realm and become a senior master in the immortal cultivation realm, Zhang Peng rolled his eyes when he saw it.
Immediately, the five-color light curtain closed quickly, and Zhang Peng was just about to turn around and leave, when an excited voice came from behind Yaoyao, "I will return the forbidden token to Senior Brother Yu, Senior Brother Zhang doesn't need to worry." ”
After returning to the hut, Zhang Peng slowly sat on his bluestone bed and began to think about his future cultivation arrangements.
In these three months, due to the careful care of Senior Brother Lin, although he could not complete the tasks of the sect as scheduled every month, his sect's contribution was only half of his. Naturally, without his worries, it can be done easily.
And now that Senior Brother Lin is gone, in order to be able to complete his sect's contribution, this time he gave the entire medicine garden a pear, and picked all the elixirs in the medicine garden. But this will make me suffer, and next month, my sect's contribution will definitely not be able to be completed by handing in the elixir, what should I do?
Thinking of this, Zhang Peng couldn't help but ponder, and carefully thought about the few methods he knew so far in his mind. But he didn't have to wait long for him to overturn several of his ideas.
There is no other reason, that is, his current realm of practice is too low. Capturing the first-level spirit beasts in the mountain, exchanging them for spirit stones, and then supplementing the sect's contributions, it seems to be a very easy and convenient matter.
But there is no need to be reminded by others, just from the introduction on the blue-skinned sect classics, you can know the terrifying spirit beast. And with the exercises that are not at the first level of Qi cultivation now, not to mention that Senior Brother Xuelin goes to the Taixuan Mountain Range every month to capture spirit beasts, even if he can't go out of this medicine garden now.
You must know that for immortal cultivators, they all use flying magic weapons to rush away, that is, poor acid scattered cultivation without flying magic weapons, and they also use the wind control trick to hurry.
Immortal cultivators have been freed from the shackles of mortals, and naturally neither their residence nor the environment they live in are comparable to mortals.
Taking the distance between Zhang Peng's medicine garden and Tianwu Pavilion as an example, Zhang Peng's initial estimate was at least five or six hundred miles. And such a long distance is naturally impossible to rush like a mortal.
Although Zhang Peng is now able to open his storage bag, in order to use the flying sword, he must learn the exorcism technique. The minimum requirement for the practice of exorcism is that you must reach the three levels of qi training before you can learn it. And it is limited to the realm, because the exercises are too low, the mana is insufficient, and the time to use the flying sword is also very short.
If you use a flying sword to rush because of the low mana of the realm, and finally fall from the sky and fall to death because of the exhaustion of mana, it is not worth it. Zhang Peng thought viciously in his mind.
However, the Wind Trick made him even more depressed, and he had to reach the fourth level of Qi cultivation to learn. According to his book of Burning Sun Formula, all beginner exercises must reach the fourth level of qi cultivation before they can be learned.
This is to avoid some low-level disciples who are not in the realm and blindly study to cause the spiritual power to be weak after casting, which will cause the meridians to rupture.
It seems that the path of the spirit beast is impassable, unless his own exercises can reach the fifth layer of qi training, and he can take the risk to try it after learning the exorcism technique and some elementary methods.
He took out his storage bag from his waist, and went down, and a Ding furnace appeared on the bluestone floor in front of the stone bed. This tripod shape is simple, four legs, two ears, half a person high, there are some unknown patterns engraved on it, and a faint silver aura is scattered, which is very good-looking.
Zhang Peng jumped out of bed, stroked his body with both hands, and muttered to himself:
"This is the Dan Furnace, it's really beautiful, if you have enough Dan Medicine, you might have broken through the first layer of exercises a long time ago. Speaking of the pill, Zhang Peng suddenly thought of something, it seemed that he had not received the pill once in the past three months, and he immediately began to be depressed again when he thought of it. It's okay to say that the pill hasn't been received, but how should I hand in the medicinal materials to complete the sect's task.
After not coming up with a way for a long time, Zhang Peng also felt extremely irritable in his heart. After thinking about it, he felt that there would be no result, so he put the Ding furnace in the storage bag, and he decided to go out and clean up the thatched hut where Senior Brother Liu lived.
The thatched hut where Senior Brother Liu lived was slightly larger than Zhang Peng's, and there was nothing except a round stone table and four matching stone chairs in his house.
But except for the bluestone bed, the whole room was already covered with a thick layer of dust. If it weren't for the fact that he usually saw Senior Brother Liu enter and exit this room, Zhang Peng wondered if this room had not been inhabited for several years.
Immediately, Zhang Peng carefully cleaned up the house, and it didn't take long to clean the whole house. In addition to cleaning all the dust out, Zhang Peng didn't see anything left by Senior Brother Liu, which made Zhang Peng, who was holding the leak, suddenly feel depressed.
Mentally muttered that Senior Brother Liu had not used anything in the room. And if Senior Brother Liu heard this, it is estimated that the other party would immediately burst into laughter.
This Senior Brother Liu was usually an extremely cautious person, and he had put all the things he had used into the storage bag before he left this morning.
Another smoke and dust technique was used, which was used to paralyze Zhang Peng. Although he knew that Zhang Peng would not produce anything to him, he was still very happy to let him clean up his masterpiece plainly.
