Compared to Su Ming, Gong Lao undoubtedly understands the laws of survival in this world better. Since he said that big forces are easier to practice, he must have a reason.
In fact, Su Ming can also deeply understand the difficulty of casual cultivation.
This difficulty is not only reflected in the lack of cultivation resources, but also in the monopoly of sect forces on cultivation techniques.
So far, Su Ming had never heard of the foundation-building techniques being sold publicly in Qingshuifang City.
Obviously.
The secrets of skills and techniques above the foundation-building stage are monopolized by the major sects and families in the world of immortality. Unless ordinary cultivators join a major sect, it will be difficult to obtain subsequent cultivation techniques.
Even if Su Ming had the golden finger to strengthen his magic weapon, he might not be any better than an ordinary casual cultivator.
Perhaps, he should also choose a sect to join!
Su Ming vaguely had this consideration in his mind.
As Mr. Gong said, with his spiritual root qualifications, it would be difficult for any sect to be willing to accept him as a member of the family, but if he relied on his talent in weapon refining, that would not necessarily be the case.
It only took Su Ming two years to become a first-level low-grade weapon refiner.
This kind of weapon refining talent is considered to be above average even if you look at the outer gate of Lingbao Mountain.
What's more, Su Ming had no one to teach him how to make weapons and relied entirely on self-taught skills.
This shows that his talent for refining weapons is probably even greater than what he actually showed.
And because he has a golden finger that strengthens magical weapons, his talent for weapon refining will only be more terrifying in the eyes of the outside world.
In just over two years, he was able to refine a first-level mid-grade magical weapon. This kind of talent for refining weapons was considered top-notch even among the outer sects of Lingbao Mountain.
If he joins Lingbao Mountain as a weapon refiner, Su Ming will have a great chance.
"However, if I want to successfully join Lingbaoshan, I have to plan carefully."
Su Ming thought for a long time and thought to himself.
"Rather than joining a major sect, improving one's own cultivation and strength is most important right now."
When talking about improving his strength, Su Ming immediately thought of the jade slips seized from Zhang Jingyu.
After thinking for a while, Su Ming took out the jade slip from the storage bag again.
Divine consciousness sinks into the jade slip.
Su Ming continued to comprehend the exercises in the jade slips.
This jade slip records a very rare skill - "Shenting Rizhao Sutra".
This technique is not an ordinary technique for refining spiritual energy to improve cultivation, but a special technique for tempering spiritual consciousness.
Even though Su Ming is a monk in the middle stage of Qi training, his understanding of this sixth sense, such as spiritual consciousness, is still very shallow.
When he first broke through the fourth level of Qi training, Su Ming couldn't even figure out the specific difference between divine consciousness and divine soul.
However, through the "Shenting Rizhao Sutra", Su Ming gradually gained a basic understanding of divine consciousness, sea of consciousness, and divine soul.
As we all know.
Monks practice cultivation and follow the golden elixir path.
That is the process of practicing qi, building foundation, golden elixir, and then breaking the elixir to become a baby.
So what role did the consciousness and soul play in this process?
Su Ming didn't quite understand it at first, but when he read the "Shenting Rizhao Sutra" left by Zhang Jingyu, Su Ming gradually understood that the cultivation of spiritual consciousness and even the spiritual soul was also very important.
Perhaps for a long time, there will be no obvious benefits in tempering one's consciousness and soul.
But when the monk's cultivation reaches the Nascent Soul stage, the benefits of tempering his spiritual consciousness will gradually become apparent.
Su Ming didn't know why the Zhang family had such a heavyweight spiritual consciousness training technique.
All he knows is that now everything is easier for him.
"According to the records in the "Shenting Rizhao Sutra", if a monk wants to refine his spirit, he must first go through the two steps of tempering his spiritual consciousness and tempering his sea of consciousness, and finally he can refine his divine soul.
It's a pity that the "Shenting Rizhao Sutra" in Zhang Jingyu's hand only has the first level, and it doesn't even have complete content on tempering the spiritual consciousness, let alone the subsequent forging the sea of consciousness and refining the divine soul."
Su Ming shook his head.
However, he also knew that no matter how much Zhang Jingyu was respected by the Zhang family, the Zhang family would not be able to hand over the complete "Shenting Rizhao Sutra" to him.
Su Ming even doubted whether the Zhang family had the complete "Shenting Rizhao Sutra".
"The detection range of ordinary ninth-level qi-training monks' spiritual consciousness is only 60 feet, but that day Zhang Jingyu and I were at least one mile away, but he could still speak to me through the sound transmission of his spiritual consciousness.
It can be seen that after practicing this "Shenting Rizhao Sutra", the effect of tempering spiritual consciousness is very obvious."
Su Ming raised his head, his eyes flashing with excitement.
His powerful spiritual consciousness may only mean to other monks that he is more sensitive in controlling magic weapons, but for Su Ming, it means that he can control more paper puppets.
According to records in the art of paper puppetry, monks can only sacrifice a second paper puppet when they have reached the sixth level of Qi training.
This is not because the blood essence and blood of the monks at the fourth and fifth levels of Qi training are not enough to sacrifice the second paper puppet, but that even if the second paper puppet is sacrificed, the monks do not have enough spiritual consciousness to control it, so it is wasted.
Its powerful combat power.
But with the "Shenting Rizhao Sutra", Su Ming can sacrifice the second paper puppet in advance.
After a battle with Zhang Jingyu, Su Ming deeply felt the power of the paper puppet, and he eagerly wanted to sacrifice a second paper puppet to enhance his strength.
Just as the mysterious old man who originally gave him the art of paper-making said, once a monk practices this art and falls into it, it is really difficult to turn back.
Because power is too easy to come by and too powerful!
Few monks can resist the temptation brought by this powerful force.
At least Su Ming couldn't do it.
"It's a pity that I don't have the method of paper puppet house sacrifice. In the final analysis, paper puppet house is the core method of paper puppet art."
Su Ming felt a little unwilling in his heart.
He thought of the mysterious old man in Dongfang District, who had given him the art of making paper puppets, which was already a great kindness. Su Ming could not hope that the other party would give him all the complete paper puppetry skills for free.
"Unless it's an exchange, but I don't know what the other party needs."
With many thoughts, Su Ming fell into trance.
The next day.
When the morning sun came up, Su Ming suddenly opened his eyes.
Because according to the records in the Shenting Rizhao Sutra, when you first learn this exercise, you should choose to practice it at Mao time.
At this time, the sun has just risen and Yang Qi is born.
At this time, it is most appropriate to use the great solar breath emitted by the sun to temper the newly born spiritual consciousness.
However, the jade slips also repeatedly warned that the process of tempering one's spiritual consciousness must be mastered well, otherwise, one may suffer damage to one's consciousness at the least, or damage the sea of consciousness at worst, and turn one into a foolish person.
In the past ten days, Su Ming stayed at home. In addition to normal practice and learning the art of shape-changing, he spent the rest of the time meditating on the "Shenting Rizhao Sutra".
After studying it for more than ten days in a row, he finally dared to try to practice it today until he was convinced that he had understood all its contents.
After all, tempering spiritual consciousness is different from refining spiritual energy, and the process is more dangerous.
As the "Shenting Rizhao Sutra" slowly circulated, a trace of the aura of the sun in the rising sun gradually gathered towards Su Ming.
If someone were present, they would feel that the three inches around Su Ming's body were obviously much warmer than the rest of the room.
Feeling the aura of the great sun being gathered around him, Su Ming slowly explored his consciousness out of the sea of consciousness.
