Although Senior Sister Liu was defeated, the opponent did not strike hard, and she was not seriously injured. She just came back looking disgraced and a little depressed.
Several senior fellow apprentices came forward to comfort her, but the foundation-building senior fellow apprentices did not say anything about wanting to defeat Shen Ruoshi "for her" in the end.
Obviously, no one has that confidence. After all, the Earthly Dust Sutra specifically restrains physical cultivation. I don’t know if their master, Elder He, has any more useful suggestions about this.
Senior Sister Liu went back to clean herself, while Jiang Li and other senior brothers continued to watch the martial arts competition.
There were many disciples of Fumo Hall participating in the martial arts competition. Jiang Li and his fellow disciples watched the sunset together, and baskets of eggs were plated cleanly by him. The first day of martial arts competition came to an end.
It has to be said that the disciples of the Demon-Subduing Hall often carry out the task of subduing demons, and their level of magic fighting is quite passable.
After the first day of martial arts competition, in general, you lose less and win more. Only when you meet the disciples of Tiandi Hall, you are more likely to be overwhelmed.
Because the disciples of Tiandi Hall are not bad in qualifications, they recruit basically the most talented disciples among the new disciples every year.
Of course, other halls also have top spiritual disciples, but not as many as the Heaven and Earth Hall of the Valley Master's lineage.
This can be seen from the fact that Qi Tianya, the top spiritual root disciple, did not worship the Valley Master, but was just a disciple of an ordinary Tiandi Hall elder.
Even if not everyone among them knows the Earthly Dust Sutra, despite the age limit, the faster cultivation speed brought by high-grade spiritual roots also allows them to form a considerable suppression on other disciples.
However, genius is always scarce. While Tiandi Hall adheres to high requirements for its disciples, this naturally means that the number of disciples is limited.
In terms of the number of disciples, Fumo Hall has an absolute advantage. If Fumo Hall and Tiandi Hall fight in groups, the chances of winning are still very high.
In addition, if you practice quickly, it may suppress others, but for me, Jiang Li, it is hard to say.
Jiang Li hummed, returned to the courtyard of his mansion and sat down.
The spiritual energy in his body was already ready to break through at any moment.
This kind of cultivation speed is basically accelerated by turning on nitrogen gas.
Originally, when Jiang Li started practicing Qi, he relied on the power of Yin Qi from the outer gate cemetery. His spiritual Qi intensity was already 20 to 30% higher than that of monks of the same level, and the power of his spells was also greater.
Moreover, since the beginning of his cultivation, Jiang Li has never experienced the experience of working hard to absorb spiritual energy bit by bit from the world.
The state of having [Mu Yin Entering the Body] and [Accelerating Qi Nourishing] all year round means that the most suitable spiritual energy for him is directly inserted into his body for refining.
After that, he obtained the state of [Spiritual Qi Infusion], which made his practice even faster.
In addition, I have to say that the top-grade spiritual stone is the top-grade spiritual stone, and the purity of the spiritual energy in it is higher than the Muyin spiritual energy that Jiang Li has worked so hard to cultivate.
For several consecutive months, Jiang Li only practiced Qi regularly every day, refining the spiritual energy that continuously poured out of his body. While his cultivation improved by leaps and bounds, the strength of his spiritual energy also increased little by little under this nourishment.
He had roughly calculated before that the strength of his spiritual energy was already roughly twice that of a monk of the same level. If two spells collided with each other, his spells would definitely crush the other party.
And with such a gain, breaking through the realm, which is a difficult problem for ordinary monks, seems to have become irrelevant in front of him.
Soon, we will break through to the later stage of Qi training, and there will be some new changes in Guimu Jue.
Sinking into his mind, Guimu Jue, with the blessing of several states, started running like crazy on a highway without other vehicles.
In the sea of his consciousness, a small locust tree with lush branches and dark green leaves was gently swaying in the space of consciousness where it was clear that there was no wind.
The trunk of the locust tree is probably only as thick as an ordinary person's arm. Although it is no longer a sapling, it has not yet matured.
And if you look carefully, you can find that there is a small earth bag raised on the soil next to the locust tree.
Under this earth bag was nothing but the ghost that accidentally broke into Jiang Li's sea of consciousness and was captured by Jiang Li with the roots of a locust tree.
With the operation of Guimu Jue, Jiang Li could feel that the locust tree in the sea of his consciousness was about to move.
It's like reaching a certain limit, and all it takes is one last shudder to make it happen.
He took a gentle breath, and with a thought, an iron ring on the prison dragon's lock that originally emitted a faint light was extinguished immediately.
One of the spiritual energy flows towards the Prisoner Dragon Lock was temporarily cut off by him.
The next second, the spiritual energy surging in the body was even stronger, and the barrier between the small realms was immediately broken down.
Jiang Li felt like a patient who had been bedridden for thirty years. He stretched out vigorously, and his whole body felt comfortable.
In the space of consciousness, the locust tree grew rapidly as if time had been accelerated.
As the height rises rapidly, the trunk becomes stronger and stronger, the branches and leaves expand outward to cover a wider and wider area, and the root system below the soil surface is also constantly climbing and spreading deeper into the soil.
About two-quarters of an hour later, Jiang Li slowly opened his eyes and exhaled in one breath, which was enough to spray out a distance of three to four feet, even hitting the wall and scraping off a layer of wall dust.
Is this the late stage of Qi training?
The amount and intensity of spiritual energy have increased by nearly 50%.
In addition, this aura seems...very different from before.
Jiang Li closed his eyes and felt for a moment, and had a little understanding of the changes in Guimu Jue.
After thinking about it, he took out the burial coffin from his arms, threw it out and enlarged it before falling to the ground. The automatic sliding lid burial coffin opened, and inside was a darkness that seemed to be able to swallow everything.
Jiang Li opened his palms, and a ball of spiritual energy slowly emerged from his palm. However, this spiritual energy was not as scattered as usual, but condensed into a ball and slowly changed its shape.
After a moment, the dark green aura formed a translucent root in the palm of Jiang Li's hand.
At the later stage of Qi training, there is no need to use magic skills. Just using spiritual energy can already show some characteristics of the skills.
Just like this!
Jiang Li stretched out his palm forward, and the dark green spiritual energy roots shot forward and suddenly penetrated into the burial coffin.
Then the roots rolled and pulled, and a faint black shadow was pulled out of the burial coffin by Jiang Li.
This is a ghost transformed from the ghosts of the past, and it can now be seen with the naked eye.
The ghosts of more than 300,000 people in this coffin have completely changed.
The vast majority of the ghosts have been re-paired and combined, and nourished by the increasingly rich spiritual energy in the burial coffin, they have been transformed into primary ghosts with certain combat capabilities.
As for where this spiritual energy comes from?
That is naturally the large amount of high-grade spiritual energy that Jiang Li has continuously invested in over the past few months.
The fifty points of high-grade spiritual energy per second may be fine for a while, but over time, the sword cultivator clone and prisoner dragon lock will still suffer from indigestion.
Only the inner space of the Yin Burial Coffin can be directly transferred into the coffin space for storage even if it cannot be absorbed and used. Therefore, most of the spiritual energy during this period has actually fallen on the Yin Burial Coffin.
Then transformed by the magic weapon's special ability "Yin Burial", those high-grade auras become the Yin Burial aura that fills its internal space.
These more than 300,000 ghost souls were nourished by the Yin Burial Spiritual Energy for several months, and then they collectively advanced and transformed into higher-level ghosts.
What is the level of this higher level ghost?
It's probably the kind of level where a single one can easily kill and eat humans, and can fight back and forth with mortal Taoist priests without spiritual energy, but can be easily wiped out by a piece of talisman from a real monk.
It is very similar to the evil ghosts in folklore.
However, although it is still a weak primary ghost, the ants will bite the elephant to death. If all these more than 300,000 fierce ghosts are released, even if there are ten or eight foundation-building monks, they probably won't be able to withstand it.
This ghost was bound by dark green spiritual energy roots, and its unclear ghostly face flashed an expression of pain from time to time, but it did not resist at all.
Jiang Li was not worried at all that he would be attacked by these more than 300,000 ghosts.
Because in addition to being a storage magic weapon, the Yin Burial Coffin's most important job should be a logistics magic weapon used to refine various evil spirits.
Such as zombies, skeletons, ghosts, etc.
The more these ghosts absorb the Yin Burial Spiritual Energy, the stronger they will be controlled by the Yin Burial Coffin.
Moreover, the original foundation of this group of ghosts was too weak. More than 95% of their power came from Jiang Li. Let alone now, even if all of them became ghost kings, they would not be able to resist Jiang Li's will.
The spiritual energy roots slowly retracted, pulling the ghost into his palm.
Jiang Li only felt a coldness in his palms, and then this coldness went up his arms and soon disappeared between his eyebrows.
After closing his eyes and sinking into the space of consciousness again, there was once again a small bulge on the ground next to the tall locust tree.
Sophora japonica is the ghost in the tree.
It raises lonely, cold and dirty ghosts.
At the later stage of Qi training, the magical power of Guimu Jue finally began to gradually emerge.
Now Jiang Li is no longer in a state where ghosts need to crash into the sea of consciousness on their own to capture them.
Now Guimu Jue can already form spiritual energy roots and actively capture ghosts.
Moreover, catching ghosts and binding them under the roots can also bring several other wonderful uses to Jiang Li.
The simplest one is... Jiang Li stretched out his palm, and a layer of green light bloomed in his palm. The thin wooden armor suddenly began to grow, and soon covered his entire right hand.
Although it's not very obvious, the strength of his spiritual energy has indeed increased again.
And if it takes some more time, the ghosts captured by the roots will turn into tumor balls and attach to the roots. If there are more, Jiang Li's spiritual energy reserves will be greatly increased, which can be regarded as a plug-in blue bar.
.
Although this effect is of little use to him, he has never lacked spiritual energy since he started practicing.
Jiang Li didn't care about anything else. He just grabbed thirty ghosts and dragged them into his body. He didn't stop until he reached the upper limit of his current skill.
These thirty-two ghosts need to be transformed into root nodules before he can continue to kidnap more ghosts.
Jiang Li was quite satisfied with breaking through the late stage of Qi training, so he practiced all night while the iron was hot.
In the early morning of the next day, Jiang Li opened his eyes, got up and was about to go out, but his expression changed.
Click!
A familiar voice came, and Jiang Li looked down with a changeable expression. Sure enough, the bluestone floor under his feet had broken into hundreds of pieces along spider web-like lines.
He squeezed his palms, and the feeling of strength in his body increased sharply again.
Jiang Li pulled out his dashboard in confusion and took a look. The "mid-term training" in the professional physical training column had been changed to "late-stage training" at some point.
...No wonder why I felt such a big reaction all over my body when I broke through before. It turns out that not only my Qi cultivation level has broken through, but my physical training level has also broken through to the later stage.
Well, the four animal blood tattoos and the combined effects of various physical training elixirs allowed his physical training to progress at a rate that was no worse than his qi training.
It is a good thing that both physical and qi training have broken through to the later stage.
But...this breakthrough came at the wrong time.
It was still during the sect's martial arts competition. With this sudden breakthrough, Jiang Li was really afraid that he would accidentally beat someone to death.
Looking at the creaking ground beneath my feet, it's really not impossible.
It seems that the basketful of eggs I plated yesterday was in vain.
But it's too late to go to Chuishan now.
Jiang Li scratched his head, feeling quite distressed.
After thinking for a long time, he suddenly looked at the prison dragon lock wrapped around his waist.
This thing may be able to help.
Wow!
Under Jiang Li's will, the dark chain came to life in an instant, swimming around his body like a flexible snake.
From being wrapped around his waist, it was slowly wrapped around his upper body and arms.
Finally, there are two clicks.
The shackles at both ends of the prison dragon lock were fastened on Jiang Li's wrists.
An invisible pressure enveloped him, causing his swelling strength to gradually decline.
Under Jiang Li's own control, the prison dragon lock naturally did not directly exert its strongest power.
Instead, he suppressed his power bit by bit until Jiang Li felt that this level was barely acceptable to him.
After taking two steps again, at least the bluestone floor on the ground was not cracked, so we could get by for the time being.
There is really no one who can shackle himself.
Jiang Li shook his head depressedly and did not go directly to the venue to watch the game after going out.
Instead, he went directly to the Tibetan Scripture Pavilion with all the chains on him.
He needs to find an article that can help him control his own strength.
Previously, it was because Jiang Li already had a lot of training projects. From physical training to qi training and listening to sutras, each one required too little and not too much time. At the end of the day, there was not enough time.
This was after he left the matters of carving runes, learning to refine weapons, and practicing body skills to his parallel consciousness.
Therefore, he previously thought that it would take a few days to get familiar with things like power control, and there was no need to learn another time-consuming magic.
However, the continuous loss of control of his power told him that there should be more such situations in the future. If he had to get familiar with it again every time he lost control, it might take more time than learning one more method.
All the way through the inner sect, Jiang Li never encountered the same embarrassment he had when he was an outer sect disciple. From time to time, he encountered a group of registered disciples on patrol, and they had to bow to Jiang Li.
Soon, he knocked on the metal door embedded in the mountain wall.
Elder Li of the Sutra Pavilion was still drinking alone behind the counter.
Speaking of which, Jiang Li still has one token that he received when he joined the inner sect, but he has not used it yet.
I have to find time to use it later.
After bowing in the direction of Elder Li, Jiang Li entered the bookshelf in the physical training area and started rummaging through it.
Obviously, fewer people come to this bodybuilding area, and the dust on the bookshelves is much thicker than other bookshelves.
Then as he turned over and over again, Jiang Li's expression became even more depressed.
It seems that there are not many situations in history where it is difficult to control one's power due to too rapid progress.
Therefore, he searched for a long time but could not find his favorite method in the physical cultivation area.
This is more embarrassing.
In fact, logically speaking, improving mental attributes is the best way to deal with poor power control.
Practicing spiritual exercises such as the Guanyin Heart Sutra is very suitable for Jiang Li's needs.
As long as he takes back his sword cultivating clone now and undergoes another spiritual transformation, this overflowing power will soon be fully controlled.
Or instead of releasing the parallel consciousness, an extra consciousness can be used in the body to help Jiang Li control. Not only can he control the body very well, he can even use two minds to play tricks in the battle.
But the problem is that his level of Guanyin Heart Sutra is simply not enough to distinguish the second parallel consciousness.
As for the Sword Cultivating Clone, he couldn't give up easily for the time being, so he couldn't count on the Guanyin Heart Sutra for the time being, so he wanted to find a way to practice body control to get through it.
But Jiang Li didn't believe in evil and searched for a long time, but still didn't gain much.
"Elder Li, Elder Li!"
In desperation, Jiang Li could only return to the counter and wake up Elder Li, who was drunk and taking a nap.
The other party was not angry at all.
After Jiang Li told him about his needs, he thought for a moment and looked Jiang Li up and down before getting up and walking towards the depths of the Sutra Pavilion.
Jiang Li's eyes lit up, this posture looked promising!
Following Elder Li closely, he walked between the bookshelves and soon returned to the physical training area.
Jiang Li was a little confused, hadn't he already searched all over here before, could there be any fish that slipped through the net?
Elder Li stopped in front of a bookshelf, his body swaying as if he was about to fall to the ground drunk at any moment.
After shaking for a long time, Elder Li finally stood firm while holding on to the bookshelf, and then groped around on the bookshelf in a drunken manner.
