Chapter Twenty-Nine: January Penance
In the first three months of entry, the outer disciples of the Xuanhuo Sect did not need to do any tasks. But after three months, every two months, a certain task must be completed, otherwise there will be no supply of sect resources, not to mention, it will be disposed of according to the rules of the sect.
This request is also to prevent the disciples from not completing the task after they have the resources. In the long run, if everyone follows suit, how can the sect still operate? After all, a sect is a big collection. But in the final analysis, it is all composed of each member, and only if everyone works hard, the sect will be brilliant. Zhou Nan understood these truths as long as he thought about it lightly.
Three months, two months have passed. For the remaining month, Zhou Nan decided to do penance. Do your best to strengthen yourself.
First of all, he practiced the art of resisting the wind, which is a necessary kung fu to escape for his life.
Secondly, he practiced exorcism. This is the best way to strengthen yourself in the short term. Otherwise, if you don't cultivate, you don't use several magic weapons in your storage bag, that would be the biggest waste. If he encounters danger because of this, then Zhou Nan will definitely hate himself to death.
At the same time, at night, while he practiced "Zhimu Decision" to improve his mana, he continued to exercise his body while "Refining Soul Decision". These are fundamentals, and you can't put the cart before the horse just because you want to cultivate spells and improve your strength. Cultivation is the foundation and the source of all powerful means. This truth is that even stupid people know it clearly. As a self-proclaimed shrewd Zhou Nan, how could he make such a mistake?
During the day, he kept practicing exorcism and wind resistance. Constantly squeezing himself, cultivating hard, and not stopping for a moment. Time is pressing, and if you want to have a strong force, you need to work hard!
More than ten days later, in the courtyard, Zhou Nan's whole person was like a gust of wind, one would appear there, one would appear here, leaving one afterimage after another. In this way, in a space of more than ten zhang, Zhou Nan tossed and turned to his heart's content, and he was extremely flexible. The antelope hangs its horns, and the whimsical space has its own chic. Seeing that the effect of the Wind Resisting Technique was so good, Zhou Nan grinned and was very happy.
After practicing thousands of times, after completely familiarizing himself with the use of the Wind Resisting Technique, Zhou Nan let out a long sigh of relief and stopped. Didn't stop, rested for a while. After recovering his spirits, he began to practice exorcism.
The exorcism technique is a notch more difficult than the wind control technique. Wind resistance is just a simple use of mana, the purpose is to reduce the weight of the body, so that the body is as light as a swallow, like the wind, and flutters quickly. The exorcism technique not only requires the precise use of mana, but also the use of divine thoughts to do related cooperation. Comparatively, it's much harder.
After all, exorcism is powered by mana, using divine thoughts as a command, driving magic weapons, defending, and attacking. The fourth layer of enlightenment, the divine mind is limited, if you just explore things, you can still use it for a long time, but if you do further consumable use, it will be very depleting of divine thoughts. Ordinary people really can't bear it.
Therefore, every time he practiced, Zhou Nan had to stop, meditate and rest with his eyes closed, and regain his mind. After his divine thoughts recovered, he didn't dare to stay for the slightest, so he practiced exorcism again. Repeatedly, all the time.
After the mana is lost, you can run the exercises, or refine the aura of heaven and earth, or take pills, and you can recover. But after the mind is consumed, I can only close my eyes and rest, and meditate to recover. As for the secret techniques that can restore the divine mind and cultivate the divine mind, it is very precious.
Therefore, Zhou Nan's time for cultivating exorcism was greatly limited. In each day, the time that is really devoted to cultivation is only less than two hours, which is really short.
But fortunately, there is a loss and a win. After consuming his divine thoughts again and again, and recovering his divine thoughts again and again, after more than ten days, Zhou Nan was pleasantly surprised to find that his divine thoughts had increased a little. Although there is only a small trace, for Zhou Nan, who is eager to practice exorcism, there is no better news than this.
You must know that there is no practice in the Divine Mind, and the secret method is cultivated, so it can only be increased again when there is a breakthrough in cultivation. Within a realm, the divine thoughts will basically not increase, but with the repeated use, they will become more flexible. Few people can encounter such a good thing as Zhou Nan.
However, this method of exercising the mind is effective in the short term, and it has no effect in the long run. This was discovered by Zhou Nan more than twenty days later. At this point, no matter how hard he tried, his divine thoughts did not increase at all. Even because of his eagerness for quick success many times, he squeezed his divine thoughts so hard that he almost damaged his soul, but he was really shocked.
But even so, his head was dizzy for a whole day before he slowly stopped. Zhou Nan, who has suffered enough, will never do this again. Even at the end of the day, just thinking about such a thing made him feel a little chill in his heart.
After all, damage to the mind is not a joke, and it is not as easy to recover as the damage to the body. These elixirs that restore divine thoughts are very precious. The value is even higher than the cherished elixir that breaks through the realm. Therefore, immortal cultivators are extremely careful when using divine thoughts.
Three months are about to pass, and Zhou Nan's exorcism technique has been practiced very proficiently, controlling the inferior flying sword weapon, swimming within twenty zhang of his body, flexible and abnormal, pointing where to fight. Because there is no attack, the flying sword controlled by Zhou Nan can keep moving two incense sticks for a long time. Overall, it's not bad.
But Zhou Nan knew that if he fought against other immortal cultivators, the consumption of mana and divine thoughts would increase exponentially, and the movement of the flying sword would last for half a cup of tea, which would be good. Therefore, when fighting, it is necessary to cut through the chaos quickly and resolve the battle quickly. At the same time, it is also necessary to save every trace of mana and divine thoughts. If you want to know the Dao, it may be this trace of mana and divine thoughts, and sometimes, it will save your life.
Therefore, a qualified immortal cultivator is a complete miser in the use of mana and divine thoughts. Although the thrift may not be used, how can any immortal cultivator dislike his mana and divine thoughts?
March is just around the corner.
Zhou Nan put all his important things in the storage bag, and carefully hid the storage bag in his arms. After washing, dressing neatly, and seeing that nothing was missing, he went to the Zongwu Hall.
Today, it was the time for their new disciples to take over the task, and they couldn't be sloppy at all.
Because of learning the art of resisting the wind, Zhou Nan rushed to the road like a gust of wind, and was originally going to catch a stick of incense, but Zhou Nan rushed to the Zongwu Hall after half a cup of tea.
Coming to the front of the Zongwu Hall again, looking at the magnificent hall in front of him, Zhou Nan suddenly felt that this hall no longer looked as imposing and oppressive as when he first came.
Zhou Nanzhi said, this is related to his own cultivation breakthrough, and his divine thoughts are out of the body. After the divine thought left the body, in the world of the world, the vision was broader, and the momentum oppression was resisted by the divine thought, and the impact on people was much smaller.
After figuring it out, he didn't care about this, and Zhou Nan stepped into the Zongwu Hall. There were already many disciples in the main hall, dressed in green clothes, men and women, and their eyes were staring directly at the task light curtain. But they all looked thoughtful, and some were undecided. Only a handful of them took up the task and left in a hurry.
After all, only a small number of these new disciples have reached the first level of enlightenment, but the fluctuation of mana is still obvious, and it is obvious that they have not yet stabilized their cultivation.
I think that at the beginning, it took Zhou Nan more than half a year to reach the first level of enlightenment, and it was extremely difficult in the middle, and he wanted to give up several times. They all gritted their teeth and persevered. It's hard work, unless you have experienced it yourself, and who knows about it.
Moreover, this group of new disciples are all leftovers, and the spiritual root qualifications are average, and it is not easy for more than ten people out of a hundred or so to reach the first level of spiritual enlightenment in three months.
As a result, most of these tasks require some specific skill. Although there are many tasks suitable for disciples in the Enlightenment Period, there are really not many that can be done without any skills.
Retracting his gaze, Zhou Nan also glanced at the task light curtain. Many of the tasks on the light curtain have changed from the last one. After all, three months have passed, and many tasks have been completed and revoked, but many new tasks have been reissued.
As Zhou Nan's gaze slowly slid by, lines of information were analyzed and excluded by him. Find herbs, manage some sundries, feed spirit animals, go to the sect to manage secular tasks...
As his gaze moved downward, Zhou Nan's heart sank slightly. The tasks decreased line by line, and suddenly, Zhou Nan's gaze froze.
"Xuanhuo Sect, the Xuanhuo Mountain Range's Xuanhuo Stone Mine Cave, needs a management disciple for a period of three years. After the task is completed, a secret art of the sect will be rewarded. Reminder, this mission is very dangerous, and the cultivation is not up to the fourth layer of Qiling, so it is not recommended to go. ”
Seeing this, Zhou Nan smiled, this is the task specially prepared for himself, he is a foundry, his cultivation is enough, and what he does is the relationship with ores. Seeing this, Zhou Nan did not hesitate and walked over.
"Senior brother, junior brother wants to take over the task of managing the Xuanhuo Mine Cave, please register it. ”
Hearing this, the man in Tsing Yi was stunned, looked at the task a few times, and said in surprise: "Are you sure it's right?"
"That's right. Zhou Nan affirmed.
Hearing this, the man in Tsing Yi glanced at Zhou Nan and laughed.
