Xu Chunniang shook her head. The big exam was still far away, so she had better follow her own study plan.
Moreover, the main purpose of the exam was to select retinues for the inner disciples. She didn't want to be a retinue at all, so she could just take the exam and cope with it when the time came.
I have almost mastered the technique, and now I have to focus on practicing to improve my cultivation level.
Now that you have mastered the practice of the Hidden Spirit Art, you can try practicing the Manifest Spirit Art next.
The Manifestation Art can make one's own cultivation appear to be higher than the actual cultivation level.
In the future, if you encounter a high-level Qi practitioner and you can't beat him, you can still bluff.
Xu Chunniang smiled slightly, sat down cross-legged and began to practice.
Cultivation is timeless. After entering the state of cultivation, Xu Chunniang has been meditating and practicing except for two hours of sleep every day.
The benefits brought by spiritual soil in cultivation are extremely huge. With the dual assistance of spiritual dew and spiritual soil, Xu Chunniang's cultivation improved rapidly. She soon passed the early stage of the third level of Qi training and reached the middle stage.
After her cultivation improved, Xu Chunniang did not take any breaks. She still meditated and absorbed boringly and repeatedly every day.
Except for going to the dining hall to replenish the Bigu Pills every time he ran out of Bigu Pills, he almost never left the cave.
As winter passes and autumn comes, there are no changes in the four seasons in Fairy Mountain, but time passes by as usual, unhurriedly.
In the blink of an eye, another year has passed.
After her cultivation reached the peak of the third level of Qi training, no matter how much Xu Chunniang practiced, her spiritual energy would no longer increase.
Xu Chunniang finally stopped practicing. She knew that this was the first bottleneck on the road to cultivation.
It is not difficult to embark on the road of cultivation. As long as you have spiritual roots, you can practice. But it is not easy to go far on the road of cultivation.
In the Qi training period alone, there are three small levels.
The first is the fourth level of Qi training, the second is the seventh level of Qi training, and as for the third level, it is also the most difficult one, it is the step from the ninth level of Qi training to foundation building.
I don't know how many amazing and talented qi-training monks are stuck on the ninth level of qi-training, unable to build a foundation for the rest of their lives.
What Xu Chunniang encountered now was the easiest of the three levels to pass.
If there are no accidents, most monks can successfully pass this level. But the time it takes varies from person to person.
Xu Chunniang breathed a sigh of relief. Since practicing can't increase your cultivation level, let's stop for now.
Over the past year, although she had two hours of rest every day, she always felt a sense of urgency mentally, which made her dare not slack off.
Xu Chunniang has been coming to Xiaoyao Sect for more than two years. She was only eight and a half years old when she entered the school, and is now eleven years old.
Under the nourishment of spiritual energy, she has grown much taller, and her originally yellow and thin skin has become fairer and moister. Only the red birthmark on the right side of her face, under her eye, is still as eye-catching as ever, making her delicate face stained with flaws.
.
When her cultivation reached its bottleneck, Xu Chunniang simply stopped meditating and planned to go shopping outside.
After coming to Xiaoyao Sect for so long, Xu Chunniang has been busy practicing and has never been to many places in the sect, especially the Duobao Pavilion at the main peak of the outer sect.
I heard that in Duobao Pavilion, there are many spiritual weapons and elixirs that can only be taken in the middle and late stages of Qi training. Even if she doesn't buy anything, it would be great to go and broaden her horizons.
Xu Chunniang thought lightly in her heart and walked towards the main peak, heading straight to Duobao Pavilion.
Duobao Pavilion is a shop opened by the sect. In addition to selling goods, it also collects various raw materials from disciples.
Regardless of whether it is herbs, elixirs, talismans, or anything else, as long as the quality is acceptable, Duobao Pavilion will accept it.
This Duobao Pavilion was built very large, but it was still crowded with people. It was very lively, and from time to time it was filled with the sounds of disciples bargaining, which was a bit like the scene in the secular world when going to a fair.
Duobao Pavilion has three floors. The first floor mostly sells some low-grade medicinal herbs, low-grade talismans and relatively poor formation materials.
Most of the people hovering on this floor are disciples in the early and middle stages of Qi training.
Xu Chunniang looked at them one by one. Most of the products sold in the store were unfamiliar to her. Only a few of them had been read in general knowledge classes or the "Encyclopedia of Cultivation World" and she could barely recognize them.
After walking around, Xu Chunniang went to the second floor of Duobao Pavilion.
There are fewer people on the second floor of Duobao Pavilion than on the first floor, because the items sold on the second floor are much more valuable than those on the first floor.
Here, most of the people who come and go are monks who are in the middle and late stages of Qi training, and not many are in the early stages of Qi training.
Xu Chunniang was almost dazzled when she saw some rare medicinal herbs and special talismans, as well as some unrecognizable weapon refining and formation materials.
When she reached the last counter, she even saw low-grade spiritual weapons being sold.
Xu Chunniang walked to the cabinet where the spiritual weapons were sold and looked at them carefully.
"Golden light shield, a low-grade spiritual weapon. After activation, a golden light shield will appear, which can withstand a blow from a monk in the middle stage of Qi training."
Xu Chunniang took a deep breath and stared at this low-grade spiritual weapon called the Golden Light Shield with bright eyes. It could withstand a blow from a monk in the middle stage of Qi training, and its defensive power was already quite good.
However, after seeing the price of the golden light mask, Xu Chunniang's excited heart suddenly calmed down. It actually cost 80 spiritual stones!
At the beginning of the year, she received the spiritual stones stipulated by the sect for the last year. Totaling the remaining seven spiritual stones from last year, she had a total of nineteen spiritual stones. She simply could not afford this golden light shield.
Xu Chunniang shook her head and her eyes fell on the flying sword on the other side, which was also a low-grade spiritual weapon.
But I saw that the price of the flying sword was half as much as that of the golden light shield, priced at one hundred and twenty spiritual stones...
"No wonder during the year-end assessment, when Qi Haozhi and others took out the spiritual weapons, the other disciples were so shocked and envious. The spiritual weapons are really expensive."
Xu Chunniang was a little unmotivated. With the few spiritual stones in her hand, she could only buy low-grade medicinal herbs or talismans and other cheap items.
In the end, Xu Chunniang didn't buy anything and left Duobao Pavilion empty-handed. However, this trip was not without gain, at least she gained a lot of knowledge.
Originally, she thought that as long as she focused on improving her cultivation and mastering her techniques, she would be able to gain a foothold in the outer sect. But now it seemed that there was still a lot to learn.
Not to mention other majors, but just in Lingzhifu, there is a lot of herbal knowledge that needs to be mastered.
Xu Chunniang simply walked to Chuangong Pavilion.
In addition to a large number of spells, Chuan Gong Pavilion also has introductory books on various professions, and the price is also a copy of Five Spirit Stones.
She planned to buy a professional book on spiritual cultivation and look for suitable attack spells.
Most of the spells Xu Chunniang masters now are auxiliary. The only offensive spell is the Spirit Explosion Technique, which is evolved from the Spring Rebirth Technique. If it is used in actual combat, it may not be enough.
Xu Chunniang first went to get a copy of "Encyclopedia of First-Class Spiritual Plants" and then started to choose.
Because her water spiritual roots were the purest, she finally decided to choose water spells.
The "Water Arrow Technique" is actually very similar to the Fireball Technique. She has the Spirit Explosion Technique, but she doesn't need this type of technique. She can choose a control-type technique to coordinate with the Spirit Explosion Technique.
Xu Chunniang thought for a while and took down a copy of "Water Binding Technique" from the bookshelf.
