The Devil's Guide

For the next two days, Niu Si has been immersed in reading and studying the Xiao Kong Ming Jue. He intuitively felt that the Xiao Kong Ming Jue was very suitable for him, at least more suitable than other techniques. Two days later, Ma Qin came to see Niu Si because Brother Dai Gui was going to give a lecture in the Dharma Hall today. Although some disciples were tired of hearing about the basic exercises, such as Xiong Xun, he simply stopped going, but Ma Qin and Niu Si were still very concerned about it. expected.

Dai Gui is an elegant middle-aged man, not tall, with a vague smile on his face. He speaks in an unhurried and unhurried manner, and his lectures are extremely detailed. In particular, he has dabbled in a lot of various knowledge, and he looks very educated. It seemed that Niu Si felt that even Director Zhang was not at the level of Senior Brother Dai, and for a moment he actually admired Senior Brother Dai. After all, educated people are easier to admire, except of course Kong Yiji.

After the class, many of the specious things I had learned in the past two days suddenly became clear to me. After class, Niu Si waited for a long time and then introduced himself to Dai Gui, and then asked him about Xiaokong Mingjue. So after waiting for a long time, there were too many people asking questions. Fortunately, Dai Gui seemed to be very patient and answered Niu Si's questions regardless of the size. Knowing that Niu Si was just getting started, he allowed Niu Si to go to his courtyard for advice at any time in the next few days.

In this way, Niu Si spent the next few days traveling between Dai Gui and his small courtyard, asking Dai Gui for advice during the day and meditating on his own at night. During this period, he often met a female nun named Shi Xue who came to ask for advice. This woman is beautiful, elegant and quiet. According to Dai Gui, it is Tianlinggen and he has been practicing very hard. Niu Si only paid a little attention and didn't pay much attention. At this time, he was focused on the exercises. He didn't know that Shi Xuenai was the dream lover of many disciples from the outer sects of Baizhang Mountain.

Seven days later, after taking another basic lesson from Dai Gui, Niu Si finally started his own practice. Niu Si sat cross-legged on his wooden bed, running his exercises, closing his eyes and silently feeling the aura of heaven and earth. The aura in the air seemed to be quite spiritual, and he seemed unwilling to be pulled and refined by himself. This aura seemed to be completely consistent with his original true energy. They are two different things. The true energy flows automatically in one's own true energy ring, just like water and oil, they go their own way and have nothing to do with each other. Since the true energy moves on its own without any guidance, Niu Si only needs to concentrate on refining the spiritual energy.

It's just that Niu Si didn't expect the difficulty of refining spiritual energy. Three months have passed in the blink of an eye, and this spiritual energy has only increased a little. But even this little bit made Niu Si very excited. He could cultivate spiritual power in just three months, which gave Niu Si, who had only cultivated his true energy for three or four years on earth, a great sense of accomplishment. I don’t know how much Niu Si suffered for that trace of zhenqi. I don’t know how many wooden sticks and iron bars were broken just to forge his body. Even that trace of zhenqi was still called"their" by Director Zhang. The most talented and hardest-working student of that generation.

Niu Si used this bit of magic power to take out the spirit stones and Shou Yidan from the storage bag. Niu Si, who has been with Dai Gui these days, also knows that this is a necessary resource for cultivation. It is much faster to absorb the spiritual energy of spiritual stones and pills than to practice by yourself. This is also the reason why these resources are so scarce. Everyone who starts has three pieces of spiritual energy. Shi He and the other three guard Yidan. In the future, spiritual stones and pills will have to be earned by working as handymen. Disciples like He Ji or those guarding the mountain gate, or doing other sect tasks, in short, if they want to cultivate resources, they will have to work hard. You have to earn it by yourself, and each disciple only has one chance to do duty tasks like Heji, and each time does not exceed ten days. This kind of job that is not dangerous and can have a good income of spiritual stones is the most popular. of.

Other tasks either require special skills such as refining weapons and taming spirit beasts, or they are extremely dangerous and hard work. Their income is not so stable, and sometimes they even lose money, such as failing to meet the requirements of the weapon refining hall, or destroying the spirit beasts. If you are injured or die, you will have to pay compensation or even be punished.

At present, Niu Si can't take care of so much, and focuses on improving his own strength first. Niu Si first grabbed a spirit stone and started practicing it. This spirit stone was cut into squares the size of a finger. It was not only a cultivation resource, but also a hard currency in the cultivation world. Many cultivation resources were exchanged with spirit stones.

At this time, Niu Si's luck guides the spiritual energy in the spirit stone into his body. In an instant, Niu Si feels something different. The spiritual energy in the spirit stone is extremely pure. It saves most of the induction effort and is extremely easy to refine. In just one hour, it can be lifted up. It took Niu Si a day's work, Niu Si practiced crazily, and there was a popping sound unknowingly. Niu Si came back to his senses. It turned out that one spiritual stone had been used up. This one took a day, but the effect It is definitely comparable to Niu Si's own level of training for half a month, and his magic power has increased slightly.

It took Niu Si 10 days to use up all three spiritual stones and three pills. The spiritual energy finally reached the first level of Qi refining. It takes one day to refine one spiritual stone, which is equivalent to half a month of practice. , it takes 3 days to refine an elixir, and the effect is equivalent to two months of practice, but the elixir is more pure in potency.

During this period, Niu Si also successfully condensed the Kongming Cover, but the effect was not too ideal. It could increase the efficiency by about one-fifth. This is probably why the person who created this technique did not expect that the spiritual power with all five elements would be Root shielding is not as easy as others.

Niu Si casually asked Ma Qin and Xiong Xun, and found out that Ma Qin was a true spiritual root practitioner of the Three Spiritual Roots, and his speed was more than five times that of Niu Si. This was of course compared to Niu Si's speed after the Kongming Cover increased the speed. Three pills actually allowed Ma Qin to reach the second level of Qi refining.

Although Xiong Xun started a few years ago, he is a pseudo-spiritual root of the four spiritual roots, and his cultivation speed is more than twice that of Niu Si. However, Xiong Xun has only been practicing for three or four years and has only reached the third level of Qi training. The mana required for each level is actually much higher than that of the previous level. According to Xiong Xun's own estimation, it will take several years to reach the fifth level of Qi training. At Kei's age, he may not be able to practice the Qi training techniques to the peak, let alone build the foundation. It is said that it is basically impossible to build a foundation after the age of 50. Xiong Xun even gave up building a foundation early, hoping to become a monk and hit the clock. In his own words, he is not material for cultivating immortality at all.

This made Niu Si feel less optimistic about his future. Although Niu Si knew that his qualifications might not be very good, he never expected that they would be so bad. Not only was he incomparable to a real spiritual root like Ma Qin, but he was also unable to compare with a false spiritual root like Xiong Xun. Not only that, both He Ji and Dai Gui said that their efficiency was much worse. Niu Si had no idea at the time, but now he knew that the difference was actually a multiple. Not only that, the total amount of spiritual energy required for promotion was actually someone else's. several times.
