Chapter 103 Liang Shi's invitation
The Xiuluo Mountain Dojo in Qianniu Temple is located about 500 miles northwest of Huangyun City, at the core of the Xiuluo Mountain Range. This is where the spiritual veins of Xiuluo Mountain Range gather. Although the place is not particularly large, the concentration of spiritual energy is far beyond that of Huangyun City Dojo.
Among the several peaks in the Xiuluo Mountain Taoist Temple, Qingmiao Peak is the most lively place because it brings together almost all the monks in the temple who have not entered the foundation-building realm. Whether they are inner disciples of the temple or outer disciples who have been selected into the temple for their special performance, they do not have special responsibilities, and they all practice on this Qingmiao Peak. Therefore, there are almost a hundred caves from top to bottom of Qingmiao Peak.
Among all the caves, the most advantageous ones are naturally the three located at the top of Qingmiao Peak. Although in terms of spiritual energy, these three caves are not comparable to those prepared for the elders of the late stage of foundation building, the gap is not big. Compared with the caves of some early stage of foundation building monks, these three caves are even stronger. Therefore, this has always been the place of practice that innate monks dream of, and is called the Three Palaces of Qingmiao.
However, the temple also attaches great importance to the Qingmiao Three Mansions, and does not easily hand it over to the disciples, nor will it be assigned to a certain disciple. Only some disciples have made special contributions or have special reasons, such as if they are about to break through the foundation building, they can practice in these caves for a period of time. Once the time comes, they still have to leave here. After handing over the Giant Stone Skin Talisman, Moen was arranged by Elder Gusong to practice in the Qingmiao Three Mansions for nearly half a year.
"I really envy you, Junior Brother! You have been practicing here for so long!" Liang Shi sighed and said while sitting in Moen's cave. Although Liang Shi has a good status in the Law Enforcement Hall and is qualified enough, he does not have much opportunity to enter the Qingmiao Three Palaces to practice. After all, the quota of these three caves involves some interest exchanges within the temple. It is not very cost-effective to make concessions in other aspects just to practice the cave.
"Haha, Senior Brother just doesn't want to make things difficult for Elder Gu. In fact, as long as Senior Brother, you speak, the elder will help you enter here. After all, the three caves are still empty." Mo En said with a smile.
In the past six months, Moen's life was extremely comfortable. Because of his contribution to the new talisman, Gusong can be said to be very favored by Moen. Not only did he arrange the best cave for Moen and provide enough cultivation resources. Using the authority of the elders of the Law Enforcement Hall, Moen can freely listen to the preaching of the foundation-building monks in the temple, and can also freely refer to the classics in the Sutra Pavilion. When there are any problems, Gusong will also answer carefully. Under this condition, Moen's cultivation level has steadily entered the eighth level of Qi training, but also part of the foundation that Moen lacked because of Lu Qianming's sudden departure, he quickly made up for it. He practiced alone and his ability to solve problems has also gradually improved.
While improving his cultivation, Moen's talisman level has also improved greatly in the past six months, reaching the level of a professional talisman master. Especially in terms of earth-based talismans, Moen has made great breakthroughs with the help of the Emperor Earth Spiritual Talisman. Even the Thick Earth Spiritual Art practiced by Moen himself has improved some of the power and efficiency of the Emperor Earth Spiritual Talisman. The Chaos Five Elements Art itself is extremely balanced, and the increase in the earth-based magic power has also promoted the improvement of several other magic powers. Although this improvement is not large, it will definitely be of great help to Moen if he persists.
"That's as easy as you said! The price you pay for when you move in is quite high, and I can't afford it! It's better to practice in the cave at the foot of my mountain first, and then talk about it when it's about to hit the foundation building." Liang Shi said with a wry smile.
"By the way, when it comes to the cave, I heard that the one who lives next to you is a great beauty! How about it? Have you gotten into a relationship these days?" After sighing, Liang Shi's expression moved slightly and asked in a somewhat obscene way. After more than half a year of dating, Liang Shi and Mo En were already very familiar with each other. It is normal to joke with each other on weekdays.
"I have seen her twice, but she is from the Huang family, so she didn't talk much." Mo En said lightly. The person who practiced in the cave next to her was a woman named Huang Qingting. She was from a branch of the Huang family, but her qualifications and talents were amazing. Without much help, she stepped into the ninth level of Qi training at the age of sixteen. She is the best child of the Huang family in recent years and has even been valued by Huang Gun. More than a year ago, Huang Qingting was specially arranged to move into the Qingmiao Three Mansions, hoping that she could break through the foundation-building stage as soon as possible. Huang Qingting's deeds are already a legend in the temple, especially among the disciples of the Qi Refining stage, so Mo En is familiar with these situations.
"Hey, junior brother, you don't know anything about it now. Although the Huang family is a whole, the internal faction is very complicated. Huang Qingting was born in a side branch and has nothing to do with Huang Xinyuan and the others. You are the best disciple of our Law Enforcement Hall, and she is the leader of the new generation of the Huang family. If you can catch Huang Qingting, it will be a blessing for our Law Enforcement Hall!" Liang Shi said with a wicked smile. Although he knew it was nothing, Liang Shi was very happy to use it to make fun of Moen.
"Tsk, he is a genius that the Huang family focuses on training, and he is about to enter the foundation-building stage. I am only at the eighth level of Qi training, and I am still in the physique of the spiritual root. Do you think she will look at me directly?" Mo En shook his head and said lightly. Mingzhu's previous affairs and memories of his previous life made Mo En very cautious in terms of emotions. He has been busy with cultivation these days and has no time to distract himself in this regard. Mo En doesn't care about Liang Shi's jokes at all.
"That's not necessarily true. Junior brother, you are only fifteen years old and are already at the eighth level of Qi training. Many elders admire you for your talisman attainment. Once you break through the foundation building in the future, even the ancient elders will respect you. No matter how arrogant Huang Qingting is, he will definitely not dare to underestimate you, junior brother!" Liang Shi said with a smile.
"Haha, I'm afraid that the goal of others is to achieve the Golden Pill. I never thought I'd been fighting in the foundation-building period!" Mo En said lightly. Although I had only seen Huang Qingting twice, the arrogant Mo En still saw the girl's eyes very clearly. If she could get the attention of Huang Gun, Huang Qingting must be extremely excellent in her qualifications and naturally she was very terrifying. Mo En would only admire such a woman, but she would definitely not be able to say her favor.
"Golden elixir? Is it so easy to achieve? If the golden elixir is so easy to achieve, the Huang family would not have been the support situation of Huang Gun for so many years." Liang Shi said disdainfully. Because he was born in a family of immortal cultivation with Jindan elixir, Liang Shi had a deeper understanding of the hardships of cultivation. To break through the innate world, it not only requires qualifications and potential, but also encounters and luck. Therefore, Liang Shi has always set his goal on the foundation-building stage and has not done too many delusions.
"Haha, if you don't try it yourself, who can be willing to do this kind of thing?" Moen shook his head and said lightly.
"That's right. If you don't try it yourself, no one will be willing to do it." Liang Shi nodded and sighed, "By the way, have you had time to go out recently?"
"Oh? What's the matter?" Moen asked.
"That's right, the summer hunting time this year is coming soon. I want to go with you with your junior brother. Do you have time?" Liang Shi asked with a smile. Every summer and autumn, the disciples of the temple go deep into the Xiuluo Mountains to hunt monsters. This summer is called Xiashou. On the one hand, this hunting increases the income of disciples, whether it is monster materials or the spiritual medicines found, they are valuable. On the other hand, it is for the disciples to have enough practical experience. The various temples in the grassland pay great attention to actual combat in the cultivation of disciples. Cultivators who only have cultivation and are not good at fighting are difficult to stand out among disciples unless they have a skill.
"I naturally have time for invitation from my senior brother. I also want to find monsters to practice my skills and see how I practice these days." Mo En replied with a smile. When Liang Shi took out the Pofan Pill to Mo En, he vaguely mentioned this matter. Now that Liang Shi has given the invitation, Mo En naturally cannot refuse.
What's more, for Moen, killing monsters is an important way to gain vitality. Hunting monsters can speed up the speed of cultivation than going to seclusion. If you didn't do this before, first, you need to spend time learning and lay a solid foundation. Second, because Moen is not familiar with the Xiuluo Mountains, the harvest of hunting will not be too great. Now with Liang Shi, a familiar companion, the efficiency will definitely be greatly improved.
"Haha, Junior Brother is really happy, so that's the matter. At that time, Junior Brother, you should bring more talismans you make!" Liang Shi said with a smile. Over the past few days, as Moen's talisman level improves, the effect of the talisman has also been greatly improved. In addition to the giant stone skin talisman, Moen also used runes in the secret technique of the Fire Tongue weapon to transform a talisman that can add damage to the magic weapon, which is quite popular. At this time, Moen's reputation in the talisman is no worse than that of several foundation-building elders.
"This is certain. How much does senior brother need? Just open your mouth." Moen replied readily. For Moen, the talismans he can make are not of high value, and it is very cost-effective to use these published talismans to get in love with Liang Shila.
Just as Mo En and the others were chatting in full swing, the restriction at the entrance of the cave house fluctuated slightly, and a cold voice came in. "Is Fellow Daoist Mo En here? Huang Qingting asked for a meeting."
"Fellow Daoist Huang, please come in." Mo En ignored Liang Shi with a strange smile, waved his hand to untie the cave house, opened the cave door, and said to him with a smile.
"Fellow Daoist Moen, Fellow Daoist Liang Shi is here too!" When he entered the cave, Huang Qingting nodded slightly to Moen and Liang Shi, and said lightly: "Can you sell some of the giant stone skin talismans and fire tongue talismans made by Fellow Daoist Moen?"
"How many fellow Taoists want? If there are too many, I'm afraid it won't work." Moen said lightly. Although these talismans can be made, each talisman requires a lot of energy and magic power to consume. Although it is of great help to Moen's cultivation after making talismans and quickly replenishing magic power, Moen will not suffer any loss. But for others, the price of making talismans is that it is a great delay in practicing. For Liang Shi, Moen can be more generous and exchange for favors, but for Huang Qingting, who has no friendship, Moen naturally has to follow the normal routine.
"Same three cards. Don't worry, fellow Taoist will not treat fellow Taoist badly in terms of price." Huang Qingting said lightly.
"I'll ask, "My devil Huang bought the talisman for Xia Shou this time, right? If so, how about the three of us walking together?" Liang Shi suddenly smiled.
