The next day, Chen Li went to the Palace of Merit to receive the spiritual stone for this mission.
The person in charge of the foundation building of the Shigong Palace is named Luo Mingshen. He is one of the six major foundation building stages of the Zhenzong. He looks quite old, with wrinkles on his face, droopy eyebrows and droopy eyes, and a stooped back. He is always drunk every time we meet.
.
At his age, he is basically retiring within the sect and is only responsible for some simple general affairs.
It was this person who accompanied Chen Li in the initiation ceremony.
"It's only been two years since Daoyou Chen established the foundation. I heard that he killed his first second-level monster alone this time. It's true that a hero emerges from a young age, so good!"
Chen Li couldn't help but feel embarrassed when he heard this.
He is forty-eight years old, almost fifty years old, but in the eyes of the other party, he is only a teenager.
"It's just a fight between life and death!" Chen Li cupped his hands and said: "If the monster doesn't die, I will die..."
"This makes sense. Alas, fighting is like this in many cases. The life and death situation can often bring out a person's potential and bring out their huge fighting power. Back then, they were old and decrepit..." The old cultivator rambled on about ancient times.
Chen Li had no choice but to listen patiently and respond with a few words.
The old cultivator kept talking for a long time, and then he suddenly remembered that he had to do something serious, and said apologetically: "Look at me, I am old and I just like to nag. You young people probably don't like to hear it, so I will handle it for you right now."
"No, I have benefited a lot from the experience of the seniors."
"Haha, you're hypocritical!" The old cultivator had a kid-like character and spoke freely, laughing.
What else could Chen Li do when faced with such an old cultivator who had no taboos? He could only laugh along with him.
The old cultivator took out the booklet and brush from the storage bag, walked to the table, spread out the booklet, picked up the pen and put it in his mouth to moisten it, tremblingly made a tick after Chen Li's name, and handed over three high-grade spirits.
stone:
"Take it, but you have to pay it in person. Don't come back to fool me, an old man. Last time, I gave it to so-and-so, and he was stunned and said he didn't give it to him. I'm so old and confused. And that so-and-so, this person
No, it’s no good. On the surface, it’s sanctimonious, but behind the scenes, there are male thieves and female prostitutes. The sect’s face will be completely disgraced.”
Seeing that he started chattering and cursing again, Chen Li couldn't listen anymore and quickly stood up to leave.
…
After going out, he rushed to a butcher shop inside the door without stopping.
Monster meat has been sold here for a long time, but Chen Li had never bought it. After asking about the prices of various meats, he realized that Feng Qi had not given him any of the second-level monster meat sold to him over the years.
Cheap.
The second-level monster meat sold to him was sold to him at the same price as the butcher shop.
It's really not very kind.
Chen Li called the shopkeeper of the butcher shop, and after a while of negotiation, he finally sold about 20,000 kilograms of pure meat in two storage bags at a 20% discount, and sold a total of more than three high-grade spiritual stones.
This second-level monster alone brought him five high-grade spiritual stones, not counting the more than a ton of second-level monster meat left in the storage bag.
Compared to the original snake demon.
Income has more than doubled.
His originally dry pockets became slightly full again. He left the butcher shop and turned into a magic weapon shop. He wanted to buy a large-capacity storage bag, but found that there was no one here. Wufang was already the largest.
"It seems that I can only find time to go to the Artifact Gate again. In addition, I have to buy a better second-level magic weapon... Alas, I am still short of money!" He thought secretly in his heart.
He only has fourteen high-grade spiritual stones on hand now.
I wonder how much is left after buying a large-capacity storage bag?
After the second-level magic weapon reaches the second level, the price difference between each grade is very different. Generally, a low-level second-level magic weapon only needs one or two high-grade spiritual stones, a middle-grade magic weapon requires at least ten or more, and a top-grade magic weapon requires forty or more.
.
When he had the most money, he didn't have more than forty.
Low-grade magic weapons are of no use to him, so he can only buy mid-grade ones.
"Fortunately, we don't have to rush into this. We'll wait until this year." Chen Li thought to himself. He never used magic weapons very much. If he bought a magic weapon, it was just a backup attack method. He was still used to being close to him.
Fight alone.
…
Sutra Pavilion.
Wow!
Chen Li flipped through the catalog in his hand and drank the tea provided.
The Huanzhen Sect has four physical training methods.
Immortal Muscle Jade Bone Body: A superior body-refining method that does not damage the body. After it is completed, the bones will be as strong as crystal jade, the flesh body will be as tough as an immortal body, and a layer of cotton-soft strength will be generated within it, which can resist attacks by defensive spells and secret techniques.
It has miraculous effects, but the practice is slow, so it can be combined with medicinal bath practice.
Pure Yang Immaculate Body: The body is dust-free and dirt-free, which prolongs life. The body is light and agile, and the movement is like a breeze passing by. During practice, you need to avoid female sex.
Demon Elephant Kung Fu: Infinite strength and abundant qi and blood. Practicing this technique will make your body shape different from that of ordinary people. There are records of people who can reach a height of more than one foot and eat an astonishing amount. You need to practice with medicinal baths regularly, so be careful.
Great Sun Body Training Technique: It absorbs the power of the true fire of the sun to temper the body. It is easy and quick to achieve. After reaching perfection, the body will be like gold and iron, like a diamond. It is invulnerable to water and fire, and is difficult to be damaged by magic weapons. However, this method is extremely dangerous and needs to be done with caution.
Be careful.
These four methods of body training.
First of all, exclude the Great Sun Body Exercise and the Pure Yang Untainted Body.
The former is too dangerous and is not within his scope of consideration, while the latter requires abstinence... This is simply too difficult for someone to do!
You can't let your lovely wife and concubine remain a widow, it's too cruel.
Then, he eliminated the demon elephant skill without hesitation.
One foot tall...
Whether he can accept it is another matter.
Zhou Hong and Shuniang probably couldn't bear it...
In the end, the only technique that suited him was the Immortal Muscle and Jade Bone Kung Fu.
"Alas, the Huanzhen Sect has too few physical training methods to choose from." Chen Li sighed in his heart.
He got up and went to the old gatekeeper of the Sutra Pavilion to register, and swore another oath. The price was as high as a high-grade spiritual stone, which made Chen Li heartbroken, and he only hoped to get value for money.
After acquiring the technique.
He rushed home immediately and told Zhou Hong and Zhang Shuniang not to disturb Hou.
Then he walked to the quiet room and closed the stone door.
Take out the jade slip and read it.
A piece of exercise appeared in my mind.
This is a kind of static exercise that strengthens the physical body by tempering the body with one's own spiritual power. It is divided into three layers: immortal muscle, gangang viscera, and jade bone. Each layer is relatively independent and can be performed at the same time or separately. Finally, practice
Until it is perfectly round and integrated, its strength will be generated by itself.
Chen Li found that this technique was more magical than the succinct description in the catalog.
When you practice to the level of Immortal Muscle, you will be immune to cold and heat, hard to be damaged by low-grade magic weapons, your strength will be greatly increased, your five senses will be strengthened, and your ears and eyes will be clear.
When it reaches the Gangzang stage, the organs are pliable, the functions of the internal organs are greatly enhanced, and the physical strength is unlimited. Even if you don't sleep for half a month, you won't feel tired. At the end of the Jade Bone stage, there are not so many miracles, just tempering the bones.
There is also a medicinal bath recipe at the end of the exercise.
"It can complement the basic swordsmanship!"
He withdrew from his spiritual consciousness and threw aside the broken jade slip in his hand.
Strictly speaking, his swordsmanship is not a physical training method, but a fighting technique. Physical training is only incidental, just like practicing fighting will strengthen the body itself.
"But this medicinal bath... ugh!"
Thinking of the dozens of elixirs on the prescription, some of which were second-level elixirs, he couldn't help but sigh deeply, and finally realized Feng Qi's pain, when the money was never enough.
He is also planning to save money to buy large-capacity storage bags and magic weapons!
"But this medicinal bath is not necessary, it's just a little slower. Practice first and see if it doesn't work."
After Chen Li slowly understood the exercises thoroughly.
He took out a body-tempering pill and drank it. Feeling the heat growing in his abdomen, he sat cross-legged and began his first real body training.
…
Time is like running water, passing quickly.
Winter turns to spring, and soon it’s summer again.
More than half a year has passed in the blink of an eye.
"I didn't expect that the second floor of the foundation building would be broken through so smoothly..."
In the quiet room.
Chen Li let out a long breath.
A happy face.
He originally thought he would encounter a bottleneck, but in the end he encountered nothing. Everything happened naturally and fell into place.
Fortunately, he is used to it.
"A few days ago, I went to visit Guo Xingquan, and it turned out that he was still in retreat. It seems that I entered the second floor of the foundation first, and finally I am not at the bottom."
In the entire Huanzhen Domain, there are not many people on the second floor of the foundation building.
There are more than 30 people building the foundation of the True Realm.
Among them, there is one person in the late stage of foundation building and six in the middle stage of foundation building.
The rest are in the early stages of foundation building, and most of these people are lingering on the second and third floors. The second floor of foundation building is already the mainstream level, forming the huge base of the pyramid.
"It should be the effect of the max-level longevity skill. I have rarely encountered bottlenecks in the past. Only when I encountered some big levels, I was stuck for a while. The longest time was not more than three months." Chen Li thought.
Pleasure.
The effect of the max-level Immortality Kung Fu is not limited to this. The effect of the max-level Qi Training Chapter was that the spiritual power can automatically return to Qi, while the Foundation Establishment Chapter directly brought him a magical power, which is also his only magical power:
"Invulnerable to all diseases"
Although this magical power seems inconspicuous, it directly increased his life span by more than 20 years.
However, perhaps he looked like a young man to begin with, but he was not much younger.
Chen Li opened the game panel.
"Life span: 49/290 years"
Life expectancy has increased by two years.
He glanced past and then looked at others.
For more than half a year, he has reached the full level of his clairvoyance and ice spells. At a glance, the entire spell catalog, except for the four spells of cleaning, distance vision, insect repellent, and earth hearing, has not yet been completed.
Except for the full level, all others are at full level.
"It looks a little awkward. Let's master these few spells within this year!" Chen Li thought to himself.
Fortunately, these are all low-level spells, so they are quite easy to master.
In addition, the Immortal Muscle and Jade Bone Skill has reached the proficiency level.
The progress of this body-training method is extremely slow, because it is a static exercise, and it consumes a lot of spiritual energy. Often, the spiritual energy is exhausted within less than three hours of each practice, and the daily progress is only two or three points.
It is a little faster than basic swordsmanship progress.
However, Chen Li is not in a hurry. He practices step by step every day. At this stage, he is mainly training his bones, and less on his muscles and internal organs. His attack power is sufficient, but his bones are not strong enough and are too brittle. Once he explodes with all his strength, it will easily break.
fracture.
As he was tempered day after day, his bones began to crystallize vaguely, and the surface enamel became denser and thicker. When viewed from the inside, his bones shone brightly, giving off a hazy glow.
Haven't tested it though.
But it can also be clearly felt that bone strength has improved significantly compared to before.
