Chapter One Hundred and Sixtieth Cultivation Technique
The authority tokens in their hands were eventually taken back by Sai Fang, but given their status, it would not be difficult to get a better one through the sect in the future.
In addition, they also have an unexpected surprise, that is, the top ten monks on the list have the right to skip the next round of competition and directly participate in the final round.
This is good news for Jiang Li. Now he needs some quiet time to practice hard in seclusion and digest the benefits gained from the spiritual root body.
There is a name on the jade list here, but Jiang Li's mind is no longer here.
After bidding farewell to Shenshan Qiuhua and rejecting the invitations of many fellow apprentices, Jiang Li went straight back to his hut.
Jiang Li's current cultivation progress is close to foundation building. If he doesn't change his technique, it will be too late.
In the hut, he smashed the floor tiles with one punch, and then threw the coffin out. After walking into the coffin, he sank into the ground together.
Since he wants to practice, for Jiang Li, there is no better environment than the coffin space.
He took two deep breaths in the coffin space. The spiritual energy and yin energy were so rich that they almost formed a thin layer of mist on the ground, making Jiang Li feel relaxed and happy for a while.
After adjusting for a moment, Jiang Li immediately sat cross-legged.
Since his spirit and understanding were no longer what they used to be, in just a few breaths, his spirit had reached a state of trance.
This is the reason why it is widely spread in the world of cultivating immortals that practicing divine exercises can assist spiritual practice.
Because it really can.
Although the two attributes of spirit and understanding are extremely difficult to improve, the effects these two attributes can play can be called a panacea, and they can enhance all aspects of a monk.
Even as a physical training monk, Jiang Li suffered from mental constraints several times. It was not until the Guanyin Heart Sutra showed certain results that the situation changed.
After calming down, he entered the spiritual world again.
Jiang Li was conscious of the environment in the sea. It was a night sky at this time. Under the light of a bright moon, the lush and strong locust trees were swaying their leaves slightly.
This is the locust tree that Jiang Li visualized from the place where he practiced Qi for more than half a year.
At the beginning, what he visualized was just a seed. As he continued to practice and invest, the seed sprouted and grew, and finally formed such an outstanding tree with a height of five meters.
"But now, it's time for you to play your final role."
The Guimu Jue that was slowly running in Jiang Li's body suddenly stopped, and then the pure and rich spiritual energy began to move in a strange and unfamiliar route.
The rules of this spiritual energy movement route are very different from the current cultivation methods in the world of immortality, and reveal an ancient and mysterious flavor.
"Jiuyou Dao Jing" is indeed a method named after the Tao Jing. It is mysterious and mysterious and closely matches the wonderful methods of heaven and earth.
Before Jiang Li officially started, the Yin Qi and spiritual energy in the surrounding coffins began to gather spontaneously, as if he had the feeling of worshiping the emperor.
What principle does the spiritual energy and yin energy surrounding the center come from? Even Jiang Li, a practitioner of this technique, currently knows this but doesn't know why.
However, he didn't need to think so much for the time being. After another complete cycle of heaven and earth, the effect of the upper and lower techniques had completely defeated the Guimu Jue in Jiang Li's body.
However, the ghost wood aura did not directly disintegrate and disappear. Instead, it was firmly locked in the body by the newly formed skill circuit.
In Jiang Li's sea of consciousness, the locust tree was already in turmoil. The Ghost Wood Technique, which had been operating smoothly under many beneficial conditions, suddenly suffered a dimensionality reduction blow.
Here, Jiang Li once again connected with the Jiuyou clone, and continuously transmitted the memories and fragments of the predecessor of the spiritual root branch.
For Jiang Li, who was imagining the Nine Netherwood Trees with Spiritual Roots at this time, these fragments that preserved precious memories and insights undoubtedly put the answers and steps in front of him, so he could just copy them.
.
It was even much easier than when I first started the Ghost Wood Jue.
Soon, a dark oval seed appeared in Jiang Li's sea of consciousness.
Immediately, the visualization body of the locust tree became more and more swaying, as if it was deeply afraid of something. A large number of leaves fell down, accumulating a thick layer on the ground!
Jiang Li's consciousness appeared at some point. He grabbed the seed and shot it into the trunk of the locust tree with a snap of his fingers.
As the locust tree withered and declined, the seed representing the Nine Nether Tree finally began to sprout.
Jiang Li wanted to use Guimu Jue as nourishment to quickly promote the advancement of Jiuyou Dao Jing.
This is also the correct way to convert exercises.
Soon, under the nourishment of Guimu Jue, the Nine Nether Taoist Scriptures were completely introduced.
It was as if a bottomless hole had appeared in Jiang Li's stomach, greedily absorbing all the spiritual energy.
You must know that Guimu Jue and Jiuyou Dao Jing are both Yinmu attribute exercises, and there is almost no loss in the spiritual energy conversion between them.
But after all, it is a top-level ancient Taoist scripture. The amount of spiritual energy required to practice this thing is far from comparable to the Ghost Wood Art.
The first level, the second level, the third level of the Jiuyou Dao Sutra...
The Ghost Wood Jue cultivation in the body was quickly swallowed up by the bottomless pit-like Nine Nether Taoist Scriptures. At the same time, Jiang Li also absorbed and refined it. There was a continuous flow of high-grade spiritual energy in the body, and the burial materials everywhere in the coffin space.
Yin spirit.
Regarding cultivation and spiritual energy, Jiuyou Dao Jing will not refuse anyone who comes, and the speed of its exercises is also far higher than that of Guimu Jue.
The practice went very smoothly. Through this operation of one part cultivation, one part private goods, one part spiritual energy and one part Yin energy, when the transformation of cultivation is completed, Jiang Li's total amount of spiritual energy should not decrease but increase.
But this is not the case.
Jiang Li made a rough calculation and found that he often had to invest three or more Guimu Jue cultivations to generate a Jiuyou Taoist cultivation base.
This is because the level of the Jiuyou Dao Jing's technique is too high. The strength of Jiang Li's spiritual energy is already amazing, but it is far behind compared to the Jiuyou Spirit's energy.
If this continues, although Jiang Li will still become stronger, or even much stronger, his Qi training and cultivation will probably return to before liberation because of this.
According to this ratio, returning to the middle stage of Qi training is inevitable, and returning to the early stage of Qi training is not impossible.
After all, the "Jiuyou Dao Jing" was placed in the ancient times when immortals and Buddhas coexisted. It was also the first-class top skill. It is only normal that there is such a gap between it and the Ghost Wood Technique.
When encountering this kind of situation, most people might just accept their fate, but Jiang Li couldn't bear it!
He had worked so hard to reach the late stage of Qi training, and he was determined not to accept it if he were asked to go back all at once.
Fortunately, Jiang Li has a lot of good things in his hands, and his usual accumulation and preparation give him a little bit of willful power when it comes to key issues.
As early as when he embarked on the road to seek immortality, Jiang Li obtained the first spiritual root seed from the scale demon.
The second time was in Yunxi City, when the largest spiritual root seed, which was suspected to be the spiritual root of Elder Duan Shuang, a rebellious Jindan cultivator, was forced out of the body of a red coated mouse.
The third time was when he controlled the sword cultivator clone to attack the scale demon's lair, and obtained two cherry-sized spiritual root fruits and four spiritual root seeds. Among the four spiritual root seeds, there was another
This seed comes from a foundation-building scale demon.
And in the end, it was the nineteen spiritual root seeds that were harvested in the misty mountains a few hours ago.
(Originally there were thirty-one, eleven were returned to the monks of the sect, and one was given to Huangfutai.)
If all these spiritual root seeds are transformed into Jiuyou Earth Fruit.
Jiang Li can currently transform a total of twenty-seven spiritual root fruits in his hands!
Among them, there are twenty-five spiritual fruits in the Qi refining stage, one spiritual fruit in the foundation building stage, and one spiritual fruit in the golden elixir stage.
Of course, the spiritual root seed that absorbed the essence of the Golden Core Stage monks was extremely precious. Jiang Li did not intend to directly consume it here, so he did not touch the spiritual root seed for the time being.
Among the other twenty-seven spirit fruits that can be taken directly by Jiang Li, there are four wood-attribute spirit fruits and two yin-attribute spirit fruits, all of which come from monks in the Qi refining period.
Jiang Li controlled the spiritual root clone and used the energy in the clone's own body to continue to infuse nutrients into these six Jiuyou Earth Fruits, which were both good and bad.
Try to instill them all to the limit of one star spirit fruit, that is, one spirit fruit is equivalent to the entire cultivation level of a ninth-level monk in the Qi refining period.
However, the spiritual root clone, which was already somewhat malnourished, could not even provide this energy, so it could only start extracting other Jiuyou Earth Fruits to provide nutrients.
This kind of cross-attribute conversion is a very costly act, after sacrificing nine one-star ground fruits and most of the nutrients in the branch.
On the treetop of the spiritual root clone, six more round bead-like Jiuyou Earth Fruits appeared. Four of them were vibrant green, and two were as deep black as obsidian.
The attractive aroma emitted by these fruits almost filled the entire coffin space.
Hundreds of thousands of ghosts were all excited and restless under the temptation of that spiritual fruit.
Even Qin Shuman drooled when looking at those fruits from a distance.
But they were all firmly controlled by Jiang Li and Yin Yin Coffin, and they couldn't make any waves at all.
This can be understood by thinking about flat peach and ginseng fruit. Although the lowest level Jiuyou Earth Fruit is still far away from them, in essence, they are both heaven and earth spiritual fruits.
Its powerful effect means that even a rookie monk who has just started practicing qi can directly break through to the ninth level of qi training and be ready to build a foundation at any time after eating such a Jiuyou Earth Fruit.
But Jiang Li, who had transferred to Jiuyou Dao Jing, was still thinking about whether these spiritual fruits could prevent his Qi training level from declining.
Because the consumption of this Nine Nether Dao Sutra is really too huge.
After reaching the third level of the Qi Refining Stage, Jiang Li also clearly felt the existence of a bottleneck, and his consumption of cultivation suddenly increased.
Relying on his enhanced state, Jiang Li has hardly felt the existence of a bottleneck since he started practicing Qi.
Now that I have switched to practicing Kung Fu, I finally got this not-so-wonderful experience.
The spiritual energy of Guimu Jue is losing rapidly, while the spiritual energy of Jiuyou Dao Sutra is rising.
Jiang Li practiced the practice non-stop, and this practice lasted two full days.
If it were anyone else who had been undergoing this kind of non-stop high-intensity refining for two days, their body and meridians would have suffered some injuries anyway, and it would take quite a while to slowly recover afterwards.
But fortunately, Jiang Li doesn't need to consider this issue. His body's recovery speed is much faster than the speed of injury.
The last bit of Guimu Jue cultivation was exhausted, and Jiang Li's level of Jiuyou Dao Jing barely reached the fifth level, which was neither above nor below in the middle stage of Qi training.
"Fifth floor? It's expected."
Jiang Li raised his hand and waved upward, and a Jiuyou Earth Fruit automatically fell from the tree and landed in his hand.
The extremely sweet and rich smell, which made people unable to control themselves, once again filled Jiang Li's nasal cavity, making his whole body tremble.
He has long wanted to have a taste of this kind of heaven and earth spiritual fruit that only immortals and Buddhas could enjoy in ancient times.
He nibbled the spirit fruit in three mouthfuls. The pulp was soft, greasy and juicy. The delicious and satisfying feeling after entering his mouth almost made Jiang Li feel that his own mouth was melting.
It is truly a delicacy that you will never forget once you eat it once.
And this Jiuyou Earth Fruit is not only delicious. As the flesh of the fruit is swallowed into the belly, a pure spiritual energy pours into the body instantly, which directly makes the stagnant Jiuyou Dao Sutra cultivation begin to advance by leaps and bounds again.
However, it is a pity that this effect of directly increasing cultivation level, similar to the experience fruit in the game that directly increases experience value, has not been able to form a state. Jiang Li can only practice honestly on his own.
One day later, two days later, the sixth level of Qi training.
Three days later, four days later, the seventh level of Qi training.
Five days later, six days later...
In the outside world, the Dazhong Mountain monk competition is still in full swing.
The jade lists on both sides of the field are constantly being filled.
As more and more monks cross the misty mountains, this first round of competition is gradually coming to an end.
After all, there are still only a few Qi-training monks who can reach the end.
It is good that some monks can recognize reality and themselves in time and return to the entrance to give up their qualifications.
At least their lives are safe and they can watch the fun outside.
Some monks did not know how to act according to their ability. They went too deep into it and were unable to even return. They could only stay in place and struggle to support themselves, waiting for rescue after the competition.
A larger number of Qi-training monks were directly buried in the bones. Their fate will be that their flesh and blood will be eaten by monsters, and their souls will turn into wandering ghosts and wander in the mountains.
However, this tragic number of casualties was not noticed by most people in the world of immortality.
Losers never remember that everyone's eyes will only look at the few people who stand at the top and are the most dazzling.
In the competition, heroic monks from all walks of life and dark horses of casual cultivators emerge in endlessly, and all kinds of hidden tricks and tricks are also competing for the most amazing.
In this great competition, even if you are the most knowledgeable elder, you may not be able to tell everyone's tricks and skills.
Some unexpected heresies even caused many monks from the sect who were originally optimistic to fall into disrepute.
In these exciting and fierce battles, many geniuses have made their own names and are talked about by people.
There were also many bets placed on the handicap, and the monks spent a lot of money on these young monks and bet their own spiritual stones.
As the second round of fighting progressed, the names on the two jade lists began to jump. Some rankings changed dramatically, and some simply disappeared from the jade lists.
As the top player in the Qi Refining Stage, Jiang Li's name has now gone beyond the scope of the Sutra Library Valley and is known to more people.
Many monks are curious about whether Jiang Li of Sutra Valley has three heads and six arms.
But the top spot on the jade list disappeared from everyone's eyes after the first round of competition.
And this disappearance lasted for twelve full days.
In the coffin, with the sixth earth fruit in his belly, Jiang Li sat silently on the glowing moss. Due to the long-term pressure covering, the layer of lichen on the ground had withered and died.
Jiang Li's aura at this time has far surpassed his former self. If he didn't say it himself, no one would think that he was still a monk in the Qi refining stage.
After eating the sixth earth fruit, he was making a last-ditch effort.
After a long time, the rich spiritual energy surrounding Jiang Li suddenly shrank and disappeared into his body, and then turned into a breeze blowing in all directions, which also announced the successful conclusion of his long retreat.
"Phew~ It's finally over!"
Taking a long breath, Jiang Li relaxed and lay down on the soft moss layer.
He was very satisfied with the results of this practice.
Of course, he was more satisfied with the effect of Jiuyou Earth Fruit.
[Name: Jiang Li]
[Age: 13 years old]
[Shouyuan: 282 years x500%]
[Race: Human]
[Spiritual root attributes: wood, yin]
Jiang Li opened the panel, and the first thing he saw was the newly appeared column of longevity.
Jiang Li has not yet broken through to the foundation building stage. Theoretically speaking, his basic lifespan should still be about a hundred years.
And just now, he had eaten six Jiuyou Earth Fruits offered by monks in the Qi Refining Stage.
Each of these earth fruits can bring Jiang Li almost thirty years of life.
This adds up to two hundred and eighty years.
And the "×500%" at the back is even more powerful.
An effect from the status [Dragon Turtle Blood Pattern] slows down the aging rate of cells by 80%. One year is better than five years, which directly increases his lifespan five times.
Count on your fingers, oh! Fourteen hundred years!
Jiang Li is now almost fourteen years old, which means he has only spent one percent of his long life.
Calculated, he is still a baby among ordinary mortals, one who has not yet been weaned.
Now Jiang Li's whole body is filled with vitality like a newborn baby, and overall he is very comfortable.
If he wants to be stubborn now, he can definitely find a mountain valley and train him for more than ten centuries before he comes out to play. Not to mention invincible by then, he should be almost there.
But this is just a thought. Hiding in the ravines, the disaster may come from the Tianshan Road.
And although hanging up is good, he also needs to contact the outside world and constantly obtain more and stronger states in order to continue to accelerate the speed of becoming stronger.
After scanning the panel again, which generally showed many enhancements, he looked at the skill column below.
[Exercise techniques: Jiuyou Dao Jing Qi training chapter lv9, Beast Blood Atlas lv4, Chuangshan Jing physical training chapter lv8, "Great Self-Quan Shiyin Heart Sutra" remaining lv2, Suihu Gong lv8]
The Ghost Wood Jue that had been hanging for a long time has disappeared, replaced by a "Nine Nether Taoist Scripture" that has reached the ninth level.
In other words, Jiang Li can now start preparing for a breakthrough in foundation building!
