Chapter 203 Departing from Ghost State
Mu Qingli has just been promoted to the Ninth Level of Qi Training, and it is still a long time before he has passed the tribulation. Zhang Ying gave her these things to prepare her. In fact, because of the parasitic mangroves, Mu Qingli has a much greater chance of being promoted to the foundation building than Zhang Ying and others, because her background is deeper.
In the evening, Zhang Ying meditated alone in his yard, and Chi Chao went out to accompany Xiao Xiaomu to bask in the moon.
Zhang Ying put his mind on the Tao base. His current Tao base is a little larger than when he was just building the foundation, which means that the Tao base is growing. The Tao base can continue to absorb qi and grow continuously. As a high-level qi, evil energy can promote the growth of the Tao base faster.
Therefore, there is a saying that a mouthful of evil energy is better than ten years of hard work. If a monk only relies on absorbing energy to practice, then the foundation of the dead will not touch the edge of the middle stage of foundation building.
Cultivators, whether humans or demons, created martial arts to allow the Taoist foundation to absorb energy faster and better. With the blessing of martial arts and the supply of evil energy, cultivators can break through the realm before the deadline reaches, and survive and survive.
According to Zhang Ying's current ability, he can refine 16 evil spirits a year, so don't think it's very low. As for his master Qu Ji, his master can only refine 3 evil spirits a year. This is because of the limitations of his martial arts, and also because Master Qu Ji does not have dual cores.
But at this speed, even if it is a passing number in the outside world, with this speed, you can absorb enough energy in a hundred years to prepare for promotion to the mid-stage foundation building.
If Qu Ji was promoted to the foundation building stage at the age of 90, he could be promoted to the middle stage of foundation building at the age of 190. After being promoted to the middle stage of foundation building, the basic efficiency of the Taoist foundation will be greatly improved. If nothing unexpected happens, he can be promoted to the late stage of foundation building at the age of 320. In this way, he has 180 years to prepare for the Golden Elixir stage.
One hundred and eighty years, this time is not short, but not long. If you want to be promoted to the Golden Pill, it depends on luck and opportunity.
But if Zhang Ying's current cultivation speed is now, he is less than 50 years old (the world energy has accelerated for ten years). In another twenty years, he will be able to reach the middle stage of foundation building. If he is not unexpectedly promoted to the middle stage of foundation building, he can also be promoted to the late stage of foundation building when he is in his nineties.
Then he will have 400 years to advance to the Golden Elixir Stage, which will be a long time. So age is a treasure.
Of course, all of this is calculated in an ideal state. After all, many people are stuck in the early to mid-stage stage of foundation building, and it is not surprising that they are stuck until they die. The foundation building stage is not the Qi Refining stage, and it is automatically promoted when the mana is enough. The level of foundation building stage is the bottleneck that others say.
The breakthrough of the bottleneck is also mysterious. Some people naturally pass it, some rely on a comprehension, and some rely on time to overcome it. There is almost no way to take things. But there is no absolute in the world, so how can we explain it clearly?
At this moment, Zhang Ying heard a noise in the yard, but the red tide was back.
"Chichao, are you back? How are you? How are you chatting with Xiaoxiaomu?" Zhang Ying asked quipped.
In the past, when Chi Chao was still a young tiger in ignorance, he and Xiao Xiaomu had a real pure friendship. The relationship between the two tigers can be said to be extremely dull. Even if they bask in the moon, they can be finished without saying a word.
After a while, especially after consuming "dog food" several times, the late-ripening heart of Chitou began to sprout. Especially when Zhang Ying forced him to point out that he liked Xiao Xiaomu, his heart was not calm.
When I saw Xiao Xiaomu today, my former friends changed their color as they were everywhere!
Those who disturb my heart will have many worries today. In the past, I could not say a word, but now I rack my brains to break the embarrassment.
Chi Chao lay on the bed in a melancholy and said in a confused tone: "I told her about our travels."
Zhang Ying nodded and said, "This is a good thing. How did she react?"
"She didn't respond, she just asked me if the vixen looks good?" Chi Chao said in confusion.
Zhang Ying felt nervous and asked quickly: "How did you answer?"
Chi Chao said in confusion: "I said, it's all my business to see if it's good or not. I don't think it's better than you!"
Brother! This sentence is amazing! Zhang Ying praised it in her heart. Then she asked quietly: "What did she react?"
Chi Chao covered his head with his front paws in annoyance and said, "The problem is here! She still didn't respond! Did I say the wrong thing?"
Zhang Ying laughed secretly, but said: "No problem. If it were me, I would also answer this."
Chi Chao nodded and sighed and said, "I can't ask for it, but I can toss and turn and reflect. This is not a good feeling."
Good guy! If it weren't for the fact that there was no "Guanju" in this world, he would have thought that Chi Chao had read "Guanju". There was a saying in it, "I can't find it, and I'll be impressed." Isn't this exactly what Chi Chao feels now?
The Book of Songs is indeed a classic that records people’s simple lives!
Zhang Ying comforted Chi Chao and said, "Don't be afraid! I'm there in everything! Get up early tomorrow and go bask in the sun with her."
Chi Chao nodded, and then fell into deep thought. You can't sleep...
The next morning, Chichao went out early. Xiaoxiaomu would not miss the Chaoyang every day, and Chichao also had to hurry up.
Yiwu Jiuqi also returned from the Red Tan Kingdom. When Zhang Ying saw him, she smiled and said, "Yes, the foundation has been completed!"
At this time, Yiwu Jiuqi had both feet and no other illusion of the lower body like other accusations. This is a phenomenon of foundation completion. After foundation completion, he can be promoted normally.
Yiwu Jiuqi said with gratitude: "This is also the young master who can give me a chance!"
Just as he was talking, a big bird flew in from outside and then landed beside Zhang Ying. When Zhang Ying saw that the color of the fur was like this, it was not white feathers or anyone else.
The bird pecked Zhang Ying gently, and then screamed "Ga" as a pity. Zhang Ying didn't understand the bird's songs, otherwise she would have understood what she meant. However, Yiwu Jiuqi had been with her for a long time and said with a smile: "Bai Yu is saying hello to you."
Bai Yu has now practiced Qi for three levels, and this speed has to be said to be very fast. Because monsters are not proficient in martial arts, their practice speed is generally not too fast. But Bai Yu is exceptional. She absorbs moonlight and practices. The energy of moonlight is very sufficient, so her practice speed is very fast.
Bai Yu screamed a few more times, and Yiwu Jiuqi translated on the side and said, "Bai Yu wants to go out for a trip with you."
Zhang Ying smiled and said, "Let's wait for you to be stronger. We are in the foundation building stage now, and a spell aftermath will blow you up. This is still too dangerous!"
Bai Yu cooed, then turned around and flew away.
Yiwujiuqi smiled and said, "She was angry, she flew away. She felt that you looked down on birds."
Zhang Ying was speechless. This foolish bird is very angry! What he didn't know was that this white feather is now the national favorite of the Red Sandal Kingdom and is called the national protector. On the one hand, she is Zhang Ying's bird, and on the other hand, she is also because she always likes to wander around the Red Sandal Kingdom, and the people of the Red Sandal Kingdom like her very much. This is also considered a love for the house and the black.
In the next time, Yiwu Jiuqi began to report on everything about the Zitan Kingdom. After the Zitan Kingdom was on track, everything went smoothly. However, because Zhang Ying, the alchemist, was not in charge, and those who wanted to refine the alchemy were a little disappointed. However, this was not a problem for the poor casual cultivators in the grassland and nearby. They had no elixirs to refine.
When the sun was at its peak, Chi Chao came back from outside. He nodded to Yiwujiuqi, and Yiwujiuqi bowed to him.
Then he said to Zhang Ying: "I figured out a problem while basking in the sun today."
Zhang Ying was surprised: "What's the problem?"
"You said you and Mu Qingli are in love. As her Xuanhu, Xiao Xiaomu can still run away?" Chi Chao said seriously.
Zhang Ying smiled in her heart, but her face was stern, saying, "How come you have this kind of idea? Are Mu Qingli and I arranged marriages? If you don't have a emotional foundation, we will not let you be together!"
Chi Chao is so energetic this time, maybe she has sunbathed too much, and her brain is a little better. He curled his lips disdainfully and said, "Just let it go. The only variable between Xiao Xiaomu and I is that Mu Qingli is not with you anymore. So you are the key to the matter! Zhang Ying! For the happiness of the tiger, you have to work hard!"
Zhang Ying's mouth twitched. He said so well that he didn't know how to refute it.
After figuring this out, Chi Chao lay comfortably on the bed and stretched, saying, "Take a nap and stay with her to bask in the moon at night." Without the psychological burden, the basking of the moon became better.
After a few days of comfort, Zhang Ying also planned to set off for Wanshou Mountain again. He went to say goodbye to his master first, and then to Mu Qingli.
They were all monks, so there was no sadness about the separation. Mu Qingli packed a large bag of blue and white tea for him, which was also a gift she could take. The two of them bid farewell, and then Zhang Ying flew away on the red tide.
Yiwu Jiuqi was also with him. He was the happiest to go to Guizhou this time. Because he mastered the seven secret talismans of the Spirit Ghost, he could increase his strength by absorbing ghosts. Now that his foundation has been replenished, the rest is to improve his strength.
On the way, Zhang Ying asked him curiously: "How do you ghosts survive the tribulation? Do you know?"
Yiwu Jiuqi nodded and said, "I have learned a little too." He has also collected this knowledge in the Red Tan Kingdom over the years.
"Ghosts pass through tribulation and demons are different from those in the living world. The thunder tribulation that ghosts pass through is Yin thunder. Let's put it this way, the yang thunder that people and demons pass through are reshaping their vitality and sublimating their bodies. The Yin thunder that ghosts pass through makes ghosts purer and more pure dead energy. The Taoist base we form is to turn vitality into dead energy, and in this regard, the underworld is happy to see, so when ghosts pass through tribulation, the underworld will secretly help. This is called having divine help in the dark. Our tribulation will be simpler than the living world."
Passing the tribulation is a punishment for monks who are crazy about absorbing energy in the creatures. The way of heaven is fair. Since there is punishment for creatures in the creatures in the creatures, there are naturally punishments for creatures in the underworld, so ghosts also have to pass the tribulation.
However, the Tao base after the ghost has passed through the tribulation is to absorb qi and convert it into death energy. Whether this Tao base absorbs gold energy, wood energy, earth energy or other energy, including ghost energy, they are converted into death energy. Death energy is the foundation of the underworld, so the more ghosts in the foundation-building stage will be better for the underworld, and in this regard, the underworld will secretly help the ghosts who pass through the tribulation.
Here we will say that the underworld has no specific consciousness, and is a collection of consciousness, similar to the way of heaven, which will instinctively seek profit and avoid harm.
After hearing this, Zhang Ying summed up the saying that it is easy to overcome the tribulation of ghosts!
So Zhang Ying smiled and said, "Come on, try to put the tiger-faced ghost banner into his body in the future!"
Yiwu Jiuqi smiled and touched the tiger-faced ghost banner in his hand. Now the flag is rolled on the flagpole, looking like a big gun.
The group flew for another month and finally arrived at Wanshou Mountain again.
When Zhang Ying returned to the courtyard, everyone came to greet him. Zhang Ying pointed at Yiwujiuqi and said to everyone: "This is my ghost servant, and I will follow us to Guizhou."
Yiwu Jiuqi immediately saluted everyone, secretly surprised. Her young master really has a wide range of friendship and actually knows so many great monks and monsters in the Foundation Establishment Stage.
The group nodded to him, then turned to Zhang Ying and said, "Why are you still raising ghosts!"
Zhang Ying smiled and said, "Another ghost is the characteristic of our sect, and almost everyone in our sect has ghost servants." Everyone nodded, and they couldn't help but be curious about Huju Temple. What kind of Taoist temple is this strange Taoist temple.
At the same time, they were convinced by Zhang Ying's financial resources again. Raising tigers is not enough, and they also have to raise ghost servants. This is a huge amount of resources!
Since Zhang Ying is back, everyone will set out for Guizhou.
As the road is long, Zhang Ying listens to Lan Jingling’s introduction to Guizhou.
Guizhou is located in the southernmost part of the Ming Empire. It can be said to be the largest state in the Ming Empire, but it is also the weakest state in the Ming Empire. Although Zhang Ying rarely deals with the people of the government, the people of the Ming Empire are indeed under the jurisdiction of the government. The more people the state, the stronger the government's ability.
Due to geographical reasons, Xingzhou is extremely scattered, and the power of the government is almost negligible. The same is true for Yuezhou. However, Jianzhou and the governments in the western part of Dongzhou are very powerful.
However, Zhongzhou and Lizhou are the strongest officials, and Haizhou is also considered. Xizhou is a lawless place, and there is no difference between having and not having the government there.
As for Guizhou, it really has no government jurisdiction.
There was a huge accident in Guizhou thousands of years ago. The ghost gate of Guizhou broke out, and a large amount of ghost energy swept across half of the state. All ordinary people in this half of the state died or were alienated. Since then, Guizhou has been sparsely populated and later dynasties have no care.
The remaining half of the states are in the south, and those places are ruled by the Wuzhai forces. Their inheritance is like the Wuzhu in the north, and they are all primitive and alternative.
Now in the north of Guizhou is the Ten Palaces of Hell to suppress the Ghost Sect, and the Ghost Kings of Ten Directions rise up to resist.
The Ten Palaces of Hell are Taoist temples established by ten monks who specialize in practicing ghost energy. The branches are in the northern part of Guizhou. Each Taoist temple is a formation node, forming a large formation covering half of the state to suppress the ghost gate.
The Ten Directions Ghost Kings are the ten Golden Elixir-stage Ghosts who came out of the Ghost Gate. Because of the effect of the formation, they cannot leave the northern part of Guizhou, but can only cause wind and rain in the northern part of Guizhou.
