The journey of cultivation is to go against nature. Going against nature is like sailing against the current. It should be more bitter and less sweet, or even no sweet. It is normal to practice hard. Why did the ancient monks call themselves ascetic monks? Hard training is what a monk should do.
The life we face; but now...
Leng Yi slowly punched the wall twice, and finally took a few deep breaths and returned his eyes that were staring at the third jade slip; he had always been confident in his concentration, and it was not like he had never seen the color before.
Dogs and horses; however, it is undeniable that what this Ghost Rock City provides has exceeded the limit of ordinary monks' concentration. The banshee alone is enough to make most monks eager to try;
It’s not that monks don’t have desires, but that monks know how to control their desires; ascetic practice does not mean suppressing or even cutting off all desires, but controlling them within a reasonable range; this is why
Monks, even those who are immune to cold and heat, and have no food to eat, will eat, dress, marry, take concubines, give birth to children, and raise children like ordinary people; because this is also a kind of cultivation and a kind of cultivation of Taoism.
practice;
After all, people are still people after all. When all hopes are wiped out, will people still be human? If you can't even be a human, how can you talk about becoming a god? Or even enlightenment?
Fortunately, the three years of hard training in the Western Wilderness have honed Leng Yi's super strong concentration, which enabled Leng Yi to control his thoughts immediately; after all, Leng Yi was only fifteen years old.
No matter which class you are in, this is the age when you can't control yourself. Geniuses are still human beings after all, and there is an age when they can't control themselves.
With such hard thoughts, Leng Yi came to the attached training room in the other courtyard, and then sat cross-legged on the futon. He then used his sixth sense to sense around, and after finding no threats, he finally settled with satisfaction.
Nods; although Leng Yi also knows that he is a little sensitive. However, it is good to have more eyes when going out;
After calming down, Leng Yi began to seriously think about the real reason for Lao Long's lethargy; he felt that Lao Long should be sealed in the small pagoda statue; although Leng Yi knew little about things like sealing, he just
I only have a rough understanding of it from fairy tales; however, stories are always derived from reality. Although they are higher than reality, the more you listen to them and the more you read them, you will be able to conclude some real things;
For example, no matter what kind of suppression, there is only one ultimate purpose: to let the person being suppressed die; therefore, no matter how advanced the person is, how powerful the being is, as long as his vitality is cut off
supplement, its vitality will gradually disappear sooner or later in the long years;
After all, the more powerful the existence, the greater the consumption of vitality and the greater the need for replenishment. Even if the vitality reserves in the body of the person being suppressed are very high, they will be exhausted sooner or later; therefore. Leng Yi determined
, in order to save him, the old dragon probably used his remaining vitality to launch a powerful blow, which consumed a huge amount of vitality in his body. Due to the lack of vitality, his body automatically activated the protection mechanism and fell into a coma;
If you want to awaken the old dragon, you should replenish him with a lot of vitality;
However, Leng Yi is a master who lacks vitality. This old immortal...
Thinking of this, Leng Yi couldn't help but break into a cold sweat, and his eyes even turned a little black. However, Leng Yi quickly calmed down again. He knew how difficult it was to wake up the old dragon. But he had to go on this road;
However, the speculation just now is a speculation after all, and Leng Yi cannot yet decide whether this speculation is right or wrong, so Leng Yi plans to test it;
Then, Leng Yi took out the half-remained Yuan Stone from his bag and carefully placed it in front of the Yintang point between his eyebrows; then, Leng Yi used the power of his soul to try to communicate the connection between the small pagoda statue and the Yuan Stone.
This is the only method Leng Yi currently knows;
Everything was as Leng Yi expected. When Leng Yi's soul power communicated with the small pagoda statue, a weak suction force suddenly came out, and then the energy in the Yuan stone merged into him like a wisp of white smoke.
The Yintang point disappeared in an instant;
Under Leng Yi's inner vision, the little vitality slowly floated towards the small pagoda statue, and then a trace of white vitality flashed on the small pagoda statue, and then dimmed again;
"This method appears to be working;"
Leng Yi nodded slowly, feeling slightly relieved in his heart. All he had to do was know how to do it. All that was left was to find a way to collect countless spirit stones;
But just when Leng Yi took a breath, he suddenly frowned. He suddenly realized a problem:
In his current experience, all monks rely on spirit stones, essence stones or elixirs to replenish their vitality. This seems normal, but when it is extended to Old Long, it creates an unsolvable problem. Old Long is like this
If a tyrannical existence needs to use spirit stones and elemental stones to replenish its vitality, it will be a terrifying order of magnitude. Leng Yiqiong will definitely not be able to get enough spirit stones to revive the old dragon in his lifetime. In this way, the old dragon's
Isn’t awakening a long way off?
"When they reach the age of immortality, what do they rely on to replenish their vitality?"
Leng Yi's brows furrowed tighter and tighter. Because the Ice Fire Black Snake incident happened so suddenly, Old Long didn't tell him many things. How could he find relevant clues?
In desperation, Leng Yi could only open the forging space again, plunge into the library left by the old dragon, and search for relevant answers in the vast sea of books;
On the second day, the sound transmission jade slips in the secret practice room vibrated slightly, and Leng Yi stood up from the sea of books. Obviously, he had gained nothing this night. Lao Long's library was not small, but
But one important thing is missing - a book index; it is obvious that these books were slowly collected by Lao Long over the years, so he knows what kind of books are placed where and what kind of knowledge is in which book.
In the book, Lao Long is indifferent, but Leng Yi is troubled by this;
Looking at the open books all over the floor, Leng Yi sighed helplessly. Although he read quickly and read ten lines at a glance, there were so many books that he couldn't bear it. However, searching for books like this can be regarded as a learning experience. At least he learned what he learned this night.
The knowledge I gained was unprecedented, and I no longer felt like a country bumpkin who knew nothing;
"Forget it, I'll look for it slowly later;"
Leng Yi gritted his teeth, there was no need to rush this matter. There was no point in rushing, he could only take his time;
Soon, after Leng Yi returned all the books to their places, he closed the forging space and walked out of the secret practice room;
At this moment, Liu San was standing outside the hall with a respectful look, but his eyes were rolling. What puzzled him was that he didn't smell anything in the air that he should have, and then
, Liu San's eyes fell on the three motionless jade slips on the coffee table, especially the third jade slip that didn't even move, which made Liu San's eyes even more confused;
"I'm afraid this person has been practicing all night; it's rare to see such concentration;"
Liu San couldn't help but smacked his lips. He had been doing this for more than ten years. He had seen people who didn't react to the powder, but he had never seen people who didn't react to the third jade slip;
He admitted that all monks have concentration, but having concentration does not mean that their concentration is extremely profound. There is always a limit to concentration. In other words, if there is concentration, it is because there is not enough temptation. This monk lives in Guiyan City.
The district has been operating for hundreds of years, how can the formula summarized be simple? Every word, every illustration, and even every sound in that jade slip has been carefully considered; how tempting it is
Strong? Especially the monks from outside, how many can withstand this kind of temptation?
"I wonder if this old man can still be so determined after entering the Tianzi Grade A room and looking at the jade slips there;"
Liu San's eyes rolled. He was thinking evilly in his heart. The jade slips in the higher-priced rooms are naturally more tempting. Of course, those who can live in that kind of room will naturally have higher cultivation levels;
Just when Liu San was full of random thoughts, Leng Yi walked out of the practice room and nodded slightly to Liu San. Then he picked up the tea on the table and rinsed his mouth, then picked up the first jade slip and glanced at it. Soon the courtyard was
The door opened, and several graceful women wearing high-slit cheongsam walked in. Each woman held an exquisite brocade plate in her hand, which was a cold breakfast;
"Put it down." Leng Yi nodded politely to the women, and then said lightly. The women then all made a blessing, then turned and left;
This old man is really determined!
Liu San, whose eyes were dizzy with the looming white jade under the slit of the cheongsam, couldn't help but secretly praised it. Leng Yi didn't even look at the women from beginning to end;
Liu San is well-informed. What kind of person has he not seen? This is the first time he has seen someone with such deep concentration. Of course he understands that this is concentration, not numbness after seeing too much; because
It is a man's nature to at least take a look at them no matter how numb they are; but Leng Yi did not even look at them. It was obvious that this was due to his concentration. In Leng Yi's eyes, these beautiful girls looked the same as men.
What can shake his determination;
This breakfast is good!
Looking at the breakfast on the plate, Leng Yi swallowed hard in his heart. After eating barbecue for three years, he was afraid of eating it. As for those cheongsam girls? If Liu San knew that Leng Yi had always been very concerned about this matter.
Dude, if those beauties at this moment are not as attractive as the cakes in front of you, will you go crazy?
Leng Yi picked up a piece of pastry, put it in his mouth and tasted it carefully, then sat at the table, looked at Liu San and said lightly: "How did you go about the thing I asked you to inquire about yesterday?"
Hearing Leng Yi's question, Liu San's mind suddenly changed. The reason why he had been observing Leng Yi's concentration was because it was related to his next words and deeds, or his "service attitude";
"My lord, things are not going well." Liu San raised his head and glanced at Leng Yi's face. Seeing that Leng Yi didn't look sulky, he continued, "After your lord had a rest yesterday, he stayed up all night and ran around.
I visited hundreds of shops in Guiyan City, but I didn't find the item you need; I guess the item you need is not a mortal thing."
Liu San finally decided to tell the truth. People's hearts are equal, and people with profound determination will definitely be respected; those who are arrogant and extravagant will naturally be fooled by others; if Leng Yi is also an arrogant and extravagant person, Liu San has many ways to fool him and make him big.
He can dig out a lot of spiritual stones and be happy; this has nothing to do with cultivation, it has to do with experience and knowledge; no matter how high a cultivation level is, there are things that he is not good at. If an expert in this area deliberately fools him,
He will naturally be fooled into it, unless he stops doing things;
"Yeah;" Leng Yi glanced at Liu San lightly and hummed; of course he knew that what Liu San said was half true and half false, but it would be fine if the final result was true; he didn't believe that Liu San would really go and visit hundreds of places in person.
He would naturally have his own channels to inquire about the store, but no matter what, Liu San could at least do it;
What's more, what Leng Yi asked him to inquire about was Ling Ling Hua. It couldn't possibly exist in this world;
This is also Leng Yi's helplessness. He is new here. If he wants to do things, he must rely on "Bao Wenqi" like Liu San. However, he knows very well that such Bao Wenwen is used to all kinds of strong men. Just relying on his cultivation and money, he can't do anything at all.
You can't control this kind of old man, on the contrary, you may bring hatred to yourself, causing people like Liu San to fool you even more;
To suppress such people, the only way is to make them respect you. Only with skill, financial resources and respect can you make people like Liu San submissive;
"You are very practical in your work, thank you for your hard work;" Leng Yi nodded slowly, then casually placed three middle-grade spiritual stones on the table;
Seeing the three spiritual stones, Liu San quickly ran a few steps forward to accept them respectfully, and then said again: "Sir, although this matter has not been completed, there is a channel. Do you want to listen?"
"That's it." Leng Yi picked up the tea cup and took a sip.
"clear;"
Liu San paused for a moment, organized his words, and then said: "In seven days, there will be an auction held in Guiyan City Treasure Pavilion; of course, the auction is important, and equally important is the gathering that will be held together with the auction.
In the market, monks from all over the country will take out their own things to exchange or buy on this day; I believe there should be something you need in here."
"I served a strong man a few years ago. He was looking for a high-level Xuan-level Qimen martial arts, and he searched for a long time in Guiyan City to no avail; but he found the remnants of the Qimen martial arts in this market.
Chapter, it only took a handful of first-level combat soldiers to get it in hand;"
"Xuan level advanced Qi sect martial arts?"
Leng Yi was shocked when he heard this. He deeply understood how rare this kind of martial arts was and could be bought in such a market. It can be seen how large the scale of this market is and how mixed the identities of the participants are.
But only in such a market can it be possible to get what he needs;
"In that case, we will join in the fun; then, you can help me ask for a seat at the auction;" Leng Yi said calmly;
"Haha!" 4000
Liu San smiled bitterly when he heard this, and then looked at Leng Yi's face and whispered, "Sir, although this auction is together with the market, it does not mean that this auction is the kind of auction that anyone can enter; on the contrary, as this city
Seats for the Zhenbao Pavilion auction at the No. 1 supermarket need to be purchased;”
Damn, the rules of this evil city are extraordinary;
Leng Yi curled his lips when he heard this. Auctions that can be held together with the market are usually to gather popularity. They want variety and quantity, and they are not the kind of auctions that only monks of a certain level can participate in; but
In Oniwa Castle, it’s just the opposite;
"According to the classification of the auction, ordinary seats cost ten medium-grade spiritual stones for one person; tea seats in the front row cost one hundred medium-grade spiritual stones; VIP boxes on the second floor cost three hundred spiritual stones, and a maximum of two people can enter;
There is a VIP box named Loutian, which can accommodate ten people. It requires one thousand spiritual stones. Sir, what do you think is the best choice?"
Luxury, real luxury!
Leng Yi gritted his teeth secretly in his heart. Compared with Xichuan, Guiyan City's method of displaying his status is obviously more in line with people's human nature. Of course, the meaning is also quite far-reaching;
Leng Yi pondered for a while, then patted the storage bag, took out the soldiers and put them on the table and said: "Go and book a private room on the second floor, and exchange the rest for spiritual stones. You won't have to use them for these seven days."
Come here, just come and pick me up when the auction starts;"
Soldiers!
Looking at the three combat weapons in front of him, Liu San felt excited all over. After living for more than thirty years, this was the first time he had personally obtained a combat weapon, and it was a second-level combat weapon...
Is this old guy really a blacksmith? How else to explain that he treats soldiers as money?
"Sir, this...isn't this good? Aren't you afraid that I will just run away with these soldiers? Do you know how much these soldiers are worth?"
"If you really take this soldier and leave, I've made a mistake about you;" Leng Yi didn't even look at Liu San, but took a sip of tea by himself, turned around and walked towards the training room, "I want to
Continue to meditate and leave; with the remaining money, you can buy some elixirs for your family. After all, the efficacy of ordinary people's decoctions is limited and cannot be compared to elixirs."
How did he know someone in my family wanted to drink medicine?
Hearing Leng Yi's words, Liu San suddenly broke into a cold sweat. He went back home last night, handed the spirit stone to his wife who was cooking medicine, and then hurried out to inquire about the news. He didn't go home until midnight to sleep;
He didn't buy any medicine or boil it, so how could he have the smell of medicine on his body? But this old guy just knew...
Fortunately, I didn't fool him just now!
Liu San stayed for a long time, and then cast a look of gratitude in the direction of the training room; of course he knew that monks' elixirs were far more effective than mortals' decoctions, but the key question was how high the price of elixirs was
, he simply cannot take out that much money at one time;
Afterwards, Liu San glanced around cautiously, then hid the soldiers, then quickly walked out of the courtyard and disappeared into the crowd;
"The treasure pavilion auction, there is an auction and a market. At such a scale, it may be possible to collect the materials for refining the corpse. However, the Yinsha grass and crystal wood are rare things. I am afraid they really exist, and the price is extremely shocking."
Leng Yi sat in the training room, touching his chin and thinking deeply;
"If I use spiritual stones in exchange, I can afford it with my current financial resources; I'm afraid they will exchange things for things; it seems that I have made good preparations for my needs;"
After that, Leng Yi once again took out the storage bag left by Cheng Guiyuan, dug out the contents again, and read books all night, especially books on replenishing vitality, which greatly improved Leng Yi's knowledge.
In addition, Leng Yi only knew that these miscellaneous things in Cheng Guiyuan's storage bag were valuable before, but he didn't know how valuable they were. Now that he looks at them, he breaks out in a cold sweat; (To be continued.
