Chapter 5 Selecting Exercises
Although Ye Tongxuan is already in the late stage of Qi refining, he does not have the matching skills, so he lags behind monks of the same level in terms of strength.
From the beginning of his cultivation to now, he has only practiced two spells, the Light Body Technique and the Invisibility Technique.
The former is a basic technique used to increase one's speed. For Ye Tongxuan who does not have a mount, it is a good traveling technique.
The latter's concealment technique can temporarily hide the spiritual energy in the body and avoid detection by fellow monks. These two spells have no attack effect and are just auxiliary skills.
Although these two spells are simple, using them skillfully cannot be accomplished overnight.
Ye Tongxuan has been repeatedly using these two spells in the early and middle stages of Qi refining. After more than ten years of continuous study, he has been able to use these two spells with great proficiency.
Since he had just broken through not long ago, Ye Tongxuan needed time to stabilize his realm, so he did not immediately go to the family's Kung Fu Pavilion to receive the Kung Fu.
Now that his realm has stabilized, it's time to go to the Kung Fu Pavilion to study a Kung Fu technique.
Before this, there were three main reasons why he did not choose to study the exercises:
The first is that I have been staying at Yunling Peak for a long time, and there is no need to go down the mountain to practice before the later stage of Qi refining.
The second is that I have already studied two spells. Instead of pursuing the number of skills like a dragonfly, it is better to specialize in two spells.
The third is that spells consume less spiritual energy compared to exercises. During the Qi refining stage, monks do not have enough spiritual energy in their bodies and are not suitable for practicing various exercises that consume too much spiritual energy.
The family will provide a technique or spell for each clan member who breaks through. For monks who can still take a further step on the path, the family will try to let them study as few techniques as possible to avoid biting off more than they can chew.
Ye Tongxuan walked out of the cave, and as soon as he stepped down, his body flew three feet away. Within a few leaps, he had disappeared from sight.
A monk like him who has practiced light body skills is naturally much faster. If Ye Tongxuan rushes with all his strength, he can even reach a speed of four hundred miles an hour.
This kind of speed can be regarded as very rare among the monks in the late stage of Qi refining.
The Ye family's Kung Fu Pavilion is located halfway up the mountainside of Yunling Peak. Generally, outsiders cannot find the Kung Fu Pavilion with just their eyesight.
As an extremely important place in the family, the Gongfa Pavilion stores many cultivation techniques, which can be said to be the top priority in family protection.
When we reached the halfway point of the mountain, we saw dense trees and no man-made buildings.
Ye Tongxuan took out the Ye family token, a golden light flashed, the woods in front of him gradually disappeared, and a winding path appeared in front of him.
The Ye family had set up a phantom array around the Gongfa Pavilion, and low-level monks could not find the specific location of the Gongfa Pavilion.
After walking on the path for about a quarter of an hour, a three-story attic finally appeared in front of him.
A plaque with the words "Gongfa Pavilion" written on it is hung on the lintel of the Gongfa Pavilion. There are futons around each side of the pavilion. On the futons, four middle-aged monks are sitting.
These monks practiced around the Gongfa Pavilion and set up a four-image array in four directions to protect the Gongfa Pavilion.
Although these middle-aged monks were only in the middle stage of Qi refining, the formation formed by the four of them was able to block the attack of the foundation-building monks.
Ye Tongxuan took out the token again, half-bowed and said: "Junior Ye Tongxuan, come to the Kung Fu Pavilion to receive the Kung Fu."
The middle-aged monk sitting on the east side raised his eyelids and waved his right hand, opening a hole in the Kung Fu Pavilion that was originally covered by the Four Symbol Formation.
"Thank you." Ye Tongxuan raised his legs and entered the Kung Fu Pavilion.
In the Kung Fu Pavilion, Ye Shouyuan was sitting on a futon, meditating and practicing.
Ye Shouyuan himself has the cultivation level of the eighth level of Qi refining, and is now over forty years old. Now he is only one step away from the ninth level of Qi refining.
However, if you want to build a foundation before the age of sixty, the chance is relatively small. Although the chance is small, there is still a glimmer of hope.
Ye Shouyuan refused to give up this glimmer of hope, so he took the initiative to apply to guard the Kung Fu Pavilion, just so that he could eliminate chores and concentrate on practicing.
"Uncle Jiu, I came to the Kung Fu Pavilion to look for Kung Fu." Ye Tongxuan said when he saw Ye Shouyuan.
Ye Shouyuan opened his eyes and asked, "Have you broken through to the late stage of Qi refining?"
"My nephew had a lucky break a few days ago."
"If I remember correctly, you are only eighteen years old this year. You are really a formidable person." Ye Shouyuan said with a pleasant look.
"Uncle Ninth has overrated me. Now that my realm has stabilized, it's time to learn some skills for self-defense."
Ye Shouyuan nodded happily and said: "You have always been prudent in doing things. The qigong exercises are all on the first floor. You can go in and take a look."
Ye Tongxuan agreed and turned around and entered the Kung Fu Pavilion.
Most of the first floor is Qigong exercises, so the number of exercises is still very large. Ye Tongxuan browsed through them briefly and already had a general understanding of these exercises.
Ye Tongxuan finally chose a copy of "Thunder Technique" written in the late stage of Qi refining. This first-level, high-quality book was favored by many late-stage Qi refining monks in the family.
"Uncle Jiu, I will choose this technique." Ye Tongxuan took the technique and said.
Ye Shouyuan played a magic formula on the skill, and a jade pendant instantly lit up. "This skill can only be studied within the scope of the Ye family. If it goes outside the scope of the Ye family, the jade pendant will sense it. If it is violated, the family rules will be followed."
."
Ye Tongxuan nodded, indicating that he understood, and then left the Kung Fu Pavilion with the Kung Fu.
This "Thunder Technique" is the most powerful among the first-level high-grade skills currently stored in the Ye family. After being practiced, the monk's spiritual energy can be turned into thunder.
Not only is this attack powerful, it can also cause some paralysis if it hits a monk. If a monk with the thunder attribute practices this technique, the power will be much higher.
Although the soul-detecting tablet was lost in the family, Ye Tongxuan had been practicing for more than ten years. The elders in the family, based on his usual practice, roughly deduced that he was a thunder attribute monk.
Furthermore, although the Ye family has many qi-refining techniques stored in it, there are only a handful of qi-refining techniques in the later stages.
Wood attribute techniques account for half of them. These are all passed down by the founder of the Ye family who had the wood attribute.
The remaining half of the exercises in the later stages of Qi refining are mostly water-attribute exercises. Only a small part are exercises with other attributes.
Therefore, most of the monks in the family who were not of the wood-water attribute chose to study "Thunder Technique" because of its huge power.
Ye Tongxuan did not go back to his cave directly, but went to Fangshi to get back the formation flag that he had sent for repair a few days ago.
After retrieving his formation flag, Ye Tongxuan returned to his cave and couldn't wait to try its power.
Inject spiritual energy into the formation flag, and a spiritual light will emit from the formation flag.
Then, a big and colorful tiger appeared out of thin air, staring at Ye Tongxuan with eager eyes.
Ye Tongxuan nodded with satisfaction. The strength of this big tiger was equivalent to that of a late-stage Qi Refining monk, and it could exert considerable power in a battle.
After verifying the power of the formation flag, Ye Tongxuan directly chose to retreat at Yunling Peak. He spent the next six years studying "Thunder Technique".
