The ancient matters were put aside for the time being. Just relying on speculation was meaningless. Jiang Li continued to look at the other two classics.
"The Coffin Burial Technique" was once a classic passed down by a certain cultivator family that was engaged in exorcizing corpses. Later, when the family declined, the descendants brought the secret book to the Sutra Collection Valley, and his techniques became a collection here.
one.
It is said that during the most glorious period of their family, there was a Nascent Soul Stage monk, which was also the limit of this technique.
"Ghost Wood Jue" is a bit special. It was not originally created by humans, but came from an old locust tree that has been cultivated into a spirit after thousands of years!
Looking at this record, the Sophora japonica tree spirit was so powerful back then that it once turned hundreds of miles of rivers and mountains into graveyards of death, and its horrifying cultivation once reached the realm of earthly immortals that surpassed the Nascent Soul.
In the end, God was angry, and the thousand-year-old locust tree died under the thunder. Later generations found this "Ghost Wood Jue" on the remaining trunk.
Jiang Li's face looked a little bitter. For these two classics, one had to lie in a coffin and be buried underground to practice, and the other had to sleep in a cemetery every day to practice.
After practicing, he was afraid that if he went out in the future, he would be easily exterminated and defended by others.
Moreover, he had always thought that to practice immortality skills, he should be able to practice all the way to the level of a god with just one set of skills. Unexpectedly, these skills actually have an upper limit.
After sighing for a while, Jiang Li chose "Ghost Wood Jue" as his initial technique.
First of all, the level limit of "Ghost Wood Jue" is obviously higher than that of "Burial Coffin Jue". In addition, he can't bear to lie in a coffin and be buried underground every day.
After choosing the exercises, Jiang Li walked towards the exit of the Sutra Pavilion. Because he had few options, only three books, he naturally chose the fastest.
At this time, most of the disciples, including Yan Hong, were still gathered in front of the bookshelf, struggling.
Right in front of the metal gate, the old man who opened the door for them and Elder Weng Sanqi were sitting behind one of the counters, talking about which spiritual wine was more delicious.
"Elder, I have made my choice."
Jiang Li respectfully placed "Ghost Wood Jue" on the counter and stood there waiting obediently.
After a while, the two elders behind the counter finished drinking the spiritual wine from their glasses, and then turned to look at Jiang Li and the books on the table.
""Ghost Wood Jue" is a pretty good book. Boy, bow your head and come here!"
I saw the elder of the Tibetan Scripture Pavilion playing several spells in his hand, and the pages at the back of "Ghost Wood Art" immediately spread out and became readable.
"For the sake of your courtesy, I will help you a little more."
The elder took out a long and narrow jade stick from somewhere under the counter and pressed it on the exercise book.
Countless black ink characters crawled out of the book like insects and ants, and disappeared into the small jade piece that was only one finger wide.
After a moment, the words "Ghost Wood Jue" appeared on the jade piece. The elder raised his hand and pressed the cold jade piece against Jiang Li's forehead.
"Don't resist, stay calm!"
When he first arrived, the other party had no reason to harm him, and he didn't feel the slightest malice, so he didn't avoid it and allowed the jade piece to be pressed against his forehead.
The next moment, a feeling of coolness rushed into his mind, followed by passages of mysterious and complex ink-colored text, which were deeply ingrained in his memory.
"Sophora japonica! The ghost in the tree!"
"Their roots drink from the Yellow Spring of Nine Netherworlds! Its leaves cover the eyes of the moon in the sky!"
"When the locust tree is on the ground to cover the tomb, it is necessary for all things to change, touch the mysterious things, and the gods will make them clear, easy to understand, and the ground will be connected. The trees should be dense and green, the moon should be beautiful and round, the wind should be ghostly, and there will be no traces in the surrounding areas." There is the sound of people fighting, and there is an air of misfortune in all directions, so naturally there is no honor or longevity."
"The trees in the domain are withered, the tombs are tilted, and the crows are trampled by beasts. The surroundings are desolate, and the front and rear are defective. They raise lonely, cold, and dirty ghosts..."
In a few breaths, thousands of difficult and obscure ink words, and ten complex images all poured into his mind.
For a moment, Jiang Li leaned on the counter with both hands, his head feeling dizzy and unable to regain consciousness for a long time.
"Haha, kid! Just faint, that's it. You're lucky to have used the jade slips before you even started practicing."
This voice belongs to Elder Weng Sanqi.
At this time, he felt a gentle force, dragging his shaky body up and placing it on a futon next to him.
"When you stand firm, thank Elder Li again."
Jiang Li covered his temples and kept rubbing them. The feeling of dizziness was quickly fading away.
Jade slips, is that a jade slip? The shape of the bamboo strips on the ancient bamboo slips is indeed very similar.
And just like that, thousands of words of text and images were stuffed into the memory. This method is really magical and powerful.
After a few minutes, the discomfort disappeared.
He suddenly remembered something and opened his personal panel directly with his mind. Sure enough, in the skill column above, there was already the words [Ghost Wood Jue Qi Training Chapter lv0].
Sure enough, there is only the Qi training chapter?
Slightly disappointed, he opened his eyes and found that there were already many young men copying books around him.
It seems that other people do not receive such treatment as him.
That's not right. Those disciples with high-grade spiritual roots are all the same as before. They are sitting on the futon in a crooked manner with their brows raised and their foreheads raised. They must have been instilled with the techniques by the jade slips.
"Thank you, Elder Li! Thank you, Elder Weng!"
Jiang Li stepped forward again and bowed his hands. This jade slip taught him the exercises, and it also included a detailed explanation of the exercises, which at least saved him several days of hard study.
Compared with some teenagers who are still copying books and don't even know the words and are anxious, they are really at a big advantage.
"Well, this is your first month's outer sect monthly gift. From now on, you can go to the outer sect's internal affairs hall to get it in the middle of each month."
"Don't miss the weekly training lectures at the Outer University School. Go back and practice hard."
The two elders nodded and didn't care much about his thanks. After Weng Sanqi threw a cloth bag, they sent him back with a final reminder.
Jiang Li waited outside the door for a few minutes, and soon Yan Hong also walked out of the Sutra Pavilion, and the two of them walked back to the outer door area in a low-key manner.
When they returned to their small building, they both opened their cloth bags and placed everything inside on the table.
On Jiang Li's side are three spiritual stones and two bottles of spiritual elixir.
The bottle was not full, so I looked at the label, then poured out the pills inside and counted them. They were ten Qi-nourishing pills and ten Qi-returning channels.
[Name: Qi Nourishing Pill]
[Type: elixir]
[Grade: Yellow grade lower grade]
[Note: It can help with cultivation.]
[Name: Rejuvenation Pill]
[Type: elixir]
[Grade: Yellow grade lower grade]
[Note: It can replenish spiritual energy.]
Unsurprisingly, they are all low-grade elixirs from the Huang class.
Looking at Yan Hong opposite, his Yue Feng contains five spiritual stones, twenty Qi-nourishing pills and twenty Qi-reviving pills, which is nearly twice as much as Jiang Li's.
This treatment is indeed far different.
"Jiang Li, these are for you!"
Yan Hong took out a spiritual stone, five Qi-nourishing pills and five Qi-returning pills from his moon gift, and pushed them in front of Jiang Li.
This means sharing resources equally with Jiang Li.
In the early days of cultivation, everyone was poor and every resource was very valuable. Jiang Li was really touched that Yan Hong could do this.
But for him, the quantity of elixirs doesn't actually mean much.
"No, no need."
"My technique is quite special, and my resource requirements are different from those of ordinary disciples."
"And we didn't agree that the group will get half the profit in the future. I won't be polite then."
Yan Hong wanted to say something else, but Jiang Li didn't refuse directly, but said that the resources needed were different, so he had to give up.
"Okay, if you are thrown away by me too much, don't come crying to me to regret it."
"Get lost! You're the one who's going to cry then!"
The two bragged and spanked for a while before parting ways. They couldn't wait to try their first practice.
Sitting cross-legged with his five hearts pointing toward the sky, Jiang Li assumed the posture he used to practice martial arts.
Then I slowly visualized it in my mind according to the descriptions and patterns in the exercise.
In his mind, a seed slowly emerged, a locust tree seed with a gray-brown surface and a slight crack on the edge.
A quarter of an hour...half an hour...an hour later, Jiang Li took a long breath and felt that his whole body was about to freeze.
Without success, there is still a long way to go before I can get started with "Guimu Jue".
He has experience in manipulating energy such as internal force as an internal martial artist, so it should be much easier for him to feel the spiritual energy than others.
But after sitting cross-legged for a long time, I only felt a vague feeling. No matter how elusive I was, I couldn't capture that feeling.
As expected, everything is difficult at the beginning.
Now he really wants to eat all ten Qi-nourishing pills and then practice again.
However, it is recorded in the practice that the first ray of ghost wood spiritual energy is best cultivated by oneself. If the first breath of spiritual energy is not pure with the help of external force, there may be many hidden dangers in the future.
I looked outside and saw that it was still early in the morning. Cultivation of immortality pays attention to the laws and regulations of the wealthy couple. The time, place and people are favorable.
The current time and environment are obviously not suitable for the practice of "Ghost Wood Jue" with the Yin Wood attribute, so it seems that we will have to discuss it at night.
...
Putting aside his practice for the time being, he ran to the window and casually looked around. It was the first day. Everyone was trying to practice and no one was running around at all.
Jiang Li was very satisfied with this, closed all the doors and windows, and then took out a handkerchief from his arms.
This was a token of love given to him by a young girl traveling with him when he was in the motorcade, but he still didn't know the other person's name.
After untying the handkerchief, a flat stone about the size of a palm rolled out, hitting the wooden table and spinning around.
[Name: Stone hiding something]
[Type: sundries]
[Contents: Unknown]
[Note: See if curiosity will kill you this time.]
This was the stone he picked up during his journey.
Those scale monsters had been hiding it, especially the albino scale monster, which seemed to be interested in this thing. He guessed that it must be a more important thing.
He had remained calm for so long, and now he finally found a safe environment to open the stone.
