"Tian Yuan Peiran travels to the Purple Mansion, and the light of knowledge washes the divine court..."
In the cave, Makino closed his eyes and concentrated, practicing the innate qigong he got from the game.
I wonder if it was because he had practiced the Red Flame Fist or the Diamond Kick. As soon as Makino practiced this technique, he felt that there was chaos in his mind.
It's like constantly suffering severe mental shock.
In Xiantian Yi Qigong, it is said that people are born after birth, and their souls will become more and more fragile after being constantly washed by this colorful world.
If you want to reverse nature from nurture, it will be difficult to reach heaven when you return to the mother's womb.
It's okay to have a damaged body, but it can be replenished by nourishing food the day after tomorrow and exercising and cultivating.
But if it is a person whose soul is frightened and tortured, such as ten years of hard study, his reputation will be lost; his wealth will be confiscated in one day; his spring night will be short and he is weak; he will be born crippled and can only walk with difficulty; his face will be ugly and he will be looked down upon...
Countless sufferings can destroy the soul of the world.
A person without a soul is like a walking zombie, and it is impossible to reach the innate state.
In Xiantian Qigong, why do you practice the head first? It is because the head is related to the spiritual will.
We must first fundamentally strengthen a person's spirit and soul.
But with the will to move forward, if you continue to practice Shenqiao martial arts, you will surely reach the top.
While reciting the mantra, Makino felt as if his soul was undergoing a strange impact.
The inner energy of the divine orifice in the body began to pour into the head from the limbs, bones, internal organs, like a bone scraper, shaving away the spirit.
That kind of torture and pain is indeed very unbearable.
In fact, the inner force of the divine orifice impacts the human brain. Through the special stimulation method in Xiantian Yi Qigong, it can bring great pain to the martial artist.
This kind of pain is close to destroying the human soul.
After only persisting for a while, Makino stopped because he was sweating profusely.
"No wonder you have to practice Red Flame Fist and Diamond Kick before you can practice. To practice these two divine orifice martial arts, you have to endure physical pain...With this foundation, you can further try to experience this soul-like pain."
"But my Red Flame Fist and Vajra Legs came from practicing in the environment of the immortal world. In fact... I didn't suffer any pain. They were just shortcuts."
Now practicing this Xiantian Yi Qigong is naturally a bit painful.
Not everyone has the experience of a disabled old man.
Even his predecessor, a handyman disciple of the Jinshi Sect, only had a slightly harder time.
As for Makino's previous life, he lived a more relaxed life.
How could I ever have the experience of losing my arms and legs, being all alone, and without any relatives?
But if you continue to practice like this, once the spiritual orifice of your head is opened, even if you have not reached the foundation, Makino estimates that his spiritual perception is definitely stronger than that of a monk at the tenth level of Qi training. Maybe he can condense his spiritual consciousness in advance, and the condensed spiritual consciousness
His consciousness is also stronger than that of ordinary monks in the early stages of foundation building.
Of course, this is inference.
"If you keep practicing like this, your progress will be a little slow, but you can hold on even if you grit your teeth. Just get through the first few levels and you'll be fine."
Once the spiritual apertures of the big and small brains are opened, the spiritual wisdom is greatly increased, and it will be much easier to open the subsequent spiritual apertures of other organs.
It's just that the practice is slow, it may take a long time, and it will take a year or two to achieve some results.
The most terrifying thing is that the thought of sustaining this pain for such a long time will make people feel a kind of instinctive despair and resistance.
Once you relax, you may not make any progress at all.
This magical skill in the world of swords is indeed quite grueling.
Is it a magical skill? If it were so easy to practice, it wouldn't be called a magical skill if anyone could practice it.
Makino stood up and weighed the storage bag.
In the past few days, the demon dragon king's muscles and bones have been dismembered.
This storage bag can barely fit it in.
"You can buy a defensive weapon to keep with you..."
As usual, Makino put on a disguise, walked out of the cave, and flew towards Tianshuifang City.
On the way, Makino encountered the sound of evil cultivators attacking the monks again.
Recently, those evil cultivators of ghosts and zombies have become quite rampant, attacking casual cultivators everywhere in Tianshuifang City.
But as long as you leave early and run fast, and there are so many casual cultivators, you will definitely not be attacked.
"The evil cultivator is probably about to build a foundation and wants to save some financial resources." Makino said, "The only option is to rob the casual cultivator."
At this time, the benefits of having a sect identity will be reflected.
If you are a disciple of a sect, the evil cultivators will generally not attack you if they are wary of it.
But if you are a casual cultivator, then you don't have to worry about it.
Yujian landed outside Fangshi, handed over a few spiritual coins, walked into Fangshi, and went directly to the treasure shop that specializes in selling magic weapons.
There are a little more people here than at the Alchemy Tower.
The main reason is that the recent Yuntai Fighting Competition held by Tianshui Sect is about to start. Many casual cultivators will naturally spend a lot of money to purchase one or two magic weapons for that foundation-building pill in the hope of getting a good ranking.
From this perspective, some sects hold such fighting competitions in the region to promote economic growth within their sphere of influence.
So in comparison, during this period, there are more people buying magical instruments than elixirs.
The more people buy, the price will naturally increase a lot.
Makino looked around and fell in love with a spiritual armor shield, but when he asked for more than four hundred spiritual stones, he immediately gave up the idea.
It's not that I can't afford it, it's that it's too expensive.
"It's just a first-level medium-grade defensive magic weapon, selling it for four hundred spirit stones... it's simply robbery."
"My Thousand-Blade Knife probably only sold so much in Qinghefang City back then... The Thousand-Blade Knife is a top-grade offensive weapon..."
But now Qinghefang City is gone, and the Jinshi Sect has been destroyed.
Naturally, Tianshui Sect is in charge of this area.
People allow this Treasure Pavilion to be sold at such an expensive price. If you don’t want to buy it, you have no choice but to leave.
Destroy the sect, gain power, and have the right to speak.
Casual cultivators naturally need to squeeze more.
After walking around for a while, I feel like this treasure building is really treating casual cultivators like pigs.
It’s even more outrageous than the previous Dan Tower.
This can't help but make Makino miss the life in Qinghefang City.
"Fellow Taoist, do you want to buy a magic weapon?"
At this time, a weapon refiner came over and asked, "Do you think this is too expensive?"
Makino nodded, it’s not just me.
The casual cultivators who come to buy magical instruments hold their noses while buying.
After all, there is only one Foundation Establishment Pill, and monks at the ninth level of Qi training, especially the tenth level, will definitely want to try it.
A casual cultivator of this level has some spiritual stones saved up.
"I just saw fellow Taoist lingering on a spiritual light shield for a long time." The weapon refiner said, "You must want to buy a defensive magic weapon, right? I have a first-class high-grade defensive magic weapon, Yun Lai Bottle."
After speaking, the weapon refiner turned his hand, and a blue and white porcelain bottle with cloud patterns suddenly appeared, "This magic weapon contains water from the quiet spring, which can activate the magic weapon to form a powerful water shield that is no less powerful than the second-level water prison talisman."
Defense. The water from the hidden spring can also be used to cast waterfall spells to attack enemies. The power is equivalent to the spell cast by a ninth-level Qi practitioner."
"in addition…"
The weapon refiner lowered his voice and said, "In the Yunlai bottle, there is a soul-absorbing stone embedded in the bottom of the bottle, which allows it to contain the souls of evil spirits and serve as a soul-nurturing treasure. In times of crisis, the evil ghosts can be released to attack the monks' souls, causing them to suffer."
Destruction. Most of the Qi-training monks have no spiritual consciousness and their souls are not strong enough. Once a monk can absorb the powerful ghost soul, he will definitely become a big killer!"
"..." Makino.
Don't tell me, this magic weapon is quite powerful.
A first-level high-grade magic weapon can have three functions. It not only has outstanding defensive power, but also has certain offensive properties, and can also nourish the soul.
It can be said to be comparable to some second-level magic weapons.
The key is that this is the first level, which means that Qi Practitioners can use it.
Second-level magic weapons are often very powerful, and can only be activated by mana in the foundation-building stage.
Logically speaking, there should be no shortage of buyers for this kind of magic weapon. Even if it is a little more expensive, there may not be a shortage of buyers for five to six hundred spirit stones, or even seven to eight hundred spirit stones.
There is no free bargain in the world.
There is nothing wrong with such a good thing, Makino doesn't believe it.
So, Makino stared at the vase, trying to see if there was anything wrong with the magical weapon.
Just listen to this weapon refiner say:
"Do you, my fellow Taoist, suspect that I have done something wrong? I swear in my Taoist heart, there is absolutely nothing wrong with this magical weapon!"
Seeing this, Makino couldn't say anything.
The Taoist vows made by cultivators of immortality, once sworn, will lead to a high probability of going crazy during cultivation if they are violated.
When you are promoted, you will definitely have inner demons and a narrow escape from death.
"How much do you bid?" Makino asked.
"As long as fellow Taoist can help me accomplish one thing," the weapon refiner whispered, "I will sell you a hundred spiritual stones at once."
"Please tell me and listen..."
So, the weapon refiner slowly spoke out the request.
"Have you ever heard of the evil cultivators, ghosts and corpses recently?"
Makino nodded.
"This ghost and corpse demon is a monk at the ninth level of qi training, but a monk at the 10th level of qi training has already been buried in his hands." The weapon refiner said, "The key reason is that this person has practiced corpse refining from the Corpse God Sect.
Technique. He used the corpse of a seventh-level qi-training monk to refine it into a demon corpse, which he used as an external incarnation. He controlled it with a magic bell, so it was called a double demon."
"What does this have to do with the deal between you and me?" Makino paused and said warily, "Do you want me to kill this person? Then forget it, I am just practicing Qi at the eighth level, but this is not the case.
The opponent of the evil cultivator, I still want to live for a few more days."
"..." Weapon Refiner.
"Not exactly..." The weapon refiner sighed lightly, with hatred in his eyes, "To be honest, one of my Taoist companions went out before. He was accidentally attacked by this person..."
"You can definitely go to the Tianshui Sect about this matter." Mu Ye suddenly thought, "I heard that the evil cultivator killed a relative of an outer disciple of the Tianhe Sect. If you go to the Tianshui Sect, they will definitely be able to help you."
"It's not that simple." The weapon refiner shook his head and said, "I have inquired about the origins of these ghosts and zombies. Do you know where this evil cultivator came from?"
"Could it be...that he came from the Tianhe Sect?"
"That's right!" The weapon refiner looked around, his voice became lower, and he pulled Makino aside, "This evil cultivator is from the Tianhe Sect! He was originally an inner disciple of the Tianhe Sect, but due to the failure of foundation building
, was planted with inner demons, and his realm plummeted! That’s why he fell to this point!”
"Even if it needs to be handled, it must be handled by people from the Tianhe Sect."
"The Tianshui Sect doesn't dare to move at all. Otherwise, do you think this evil cultivator dares to be so wanton here in Tianshuifang City? The Tianshui Sect also has strong golden elixirs. If it doesn't work, send a few foundation-building disciples and it will be solved in a few times.
How dare an evil cultivator jump up and down like this here in Tianshuifang City?"
Makino was thoughtful.
I didn't expect there was a hidden secret in it.
"So, the Tianshui Sect won't take care of it, and they don't have the courage to do so." The weapon refiner said solemnly, "This is a matter of the Tianhe Sect. The Tianhe Sect will not send anyone to take action. The Tianshui Sect can only watch..."
"That day, the water sects didn't even dare..." Makino said with a smile, "How dare we, the casual cultivators, dare to mess around? I guess if we saw him, we would have to surrender our property obediently and save our lives. How can we dare to deal with others?"
"I don't want to defeat these two demons of ghost and corpse." The weapon refiner shook his head and said, "Even if you take my water bottle, you are still not the enemy of the evil cultivator. How could I let you, fellow Taoist, die in vain?
"
"and you…"
"If you fight, you will definitely not be able to defeat him..." the weapon refiner said, "But as I said before, one of my Taoist companions was attacked by him. My Taoist companion has a very good spiritual root and a slightly different physique. That evil cultivator
I will refine it into a demonic corpse! I don’t want my Taoist companion to be refined into a demonic corpse..."
Speaking of this, the weapon refiner's eyes were full of affection, "So, I just want to ask you to find the body of my Taoist companion and come back. At the same time, my Yunlai bottle has the power to absorb souls. When you get close, you can activate it."
Yun Lai Bottle temporarily absorbs a wisp of the remaining soul of the demon corpse, thus causing the opponent's other demon corpse to temporarily lose consciousness."
"In this way, you will have a chance to escape and not be besieged to death by him."
Don't tell me, this guy has plenty of plans.
"Why...are you looking for me?" Makino asked strangely.
"Because the monks at the eighth or ninth level of Qi training..." the weapon refiner said helplessly, "most of them have to participate in the battle and will not take risks. For them, the Foundation Establishment Pill is more attractive."
"Fellow Taoists must buy defensive magic weapons to save their lives. Nowadays, those who fight in martial arts usually buy offensive magic weapons, because when practicing Qi fighting skills, offense is the best defense. As long as you can win in martial arts fighting, there is no need for defense at all."
"So, I conclude that fellow Taoist will definitely not participate in this trip to fight."
"..." Makino.
"The most important thing is..." The weapon refiner looked Makino up and down, "I think Taoist friend has an upright face. He must be a person of integrity. Once he agrees, he will go all out."
"..."
Well, it turns out it’s because of talent in the end.
To be honest, the magic weapon is very good and he wants it very much.
But Makino doesn't seem to want to engage in evil cultivation.
"What do you call fellow Taoist?" Makino asked.
"Qi Ming." The weapon refiner said, "If fellow Taoist help me complete this matter, if you need magical weapons in the future, I can sell them to you at an extra discount. Or help you customize the magical weapons you need. Currently, the magic weapons are second level and below.
, I can refine it all.”
"I'll think about it for a few days," Makino said.
"OK."
"By the way, I have some weapon-refining materials here, do you think they are worth it?"
Makoto suddenly moved and took out a piece of the demon dragon king's spine.
"Huh…"
Qi Ming glanced at it for a while, touched it with his hand, and said with a strange expression, "This dragon beast bone... It's just that dragon beasts often have dragon blood, are extremely powerful, and most of them are foundation-building pills... and they almost never appear in our area.
The breath of this dragon beast bone seems to be only about the amount of Qi training..."
"But how can a young dragon have such a huge spine? It's strange, the bones are at least hundreds of years old."
Not just hundreds, hundreds of them.
"The backbone of the Qi-training dragon beast..." Qi Ming nodded slightly, "There are very few materials for this beast here. It is relatively rare. The normal price is about fifty spirit stones per foot. The most expensive thing about the dragon beast is the spine.
, long and straight, it can be turned into many magical instruments, poles, poles, sticks, flags, umbrellas and so on."
The Demonic Dragon King is ten feet long, and his spine is almost that long.
"However, the most precious ones are the dragon tendons." Qi Ming said, "The dragon tendons are flexible and can be used as ropes or whips. This type of magical weapon has both control and offense. It is the favorite of many Qi-training and foundation-building monks."
"Compared to the spine, one foot is more expensive than ten spirit stones."
"If it is five or six feet long, after refining it, it can be at least one foot long, and the effect will be very strong."
"But a dragon beast that is usually that long is almost ready to establish its foundation."
After hearing Qi Ming's remarks, Makino decided not to sell the material.
Find an opportunity to refine it in the future and use it for yourself. Or keep it as a backup.
The spiritual stones themselves are not in short supply now.
"Yunlaiping, the magic weapon is really good..."
After leaving Fangshi, Mu Ye murmured inwardly, "With this bottle, if I can collect a ray of remnant soul, can I use it to destroy myself and speed up the practice of Xiantian Yi Qigong?"
In the world of swords and martial arts, Makino can find corresponding ways to speed up his training.
In fact, it's not cheating, it's just speeding up.
Cultivation is still a matter of cultivating yourself.
Even if the innate qigong is a magical skill, it should be fine, right?
"Two demons, ghosts and corpses, are not easy to deal with..."
"Still a disciple of the Tianhe Sect... If we just recapture a body... and it's not a head-on conflict... wouldn't it be that difficult?"
"Tianhe Sect, Tianhe Sect..."
There was something in Makoto's mind, "Why don't we find foreign aid? By the way, that letter..."
Chen Li is hard to find...that inner disciple of the Tianhe Sect is Guanshi Xu's daughter, Xu Chang.
With Xu Guanshi's relationship, it shouldn't be difficult to do a favor, right?
Anyway, Makino didn’t want to join the Tianhe Sect.
"Xianyun City under Tianhe Sect is not far from here, only a day or two away..."
Whatever he wanted to do, Makino returned to the cave to tidy up, opened the map of the Eastern Wilderness Cultivation World, and flew directly towards Xianyun City.
Flying at full speed, in a day and a half, we could almost see the scale of Xianyun City.
Calling it a city is naturally far better than calling it a city.
"My dear..."
In the outer city of Xianyun, Makino had a hard experience of what it meant that Qi-training monks were inferior to dogs, and the foundation-building monks were everywhere.
Xianyun City is more than thirty feet high, with soldiers standing in the air on top of the wall.
Those armors are not monks, but puppet armors trained by Jindan monks, all of which are based on foundation-building cultivation.
Of course, their actual combat effectiveness is definitely not as good as that of foundation-building monks.
But this type of armor, with a certain level of consciousness, is perfect as a garrison.
The flying magic weapons all over the sky are like various kinds of fish in the ocean, floating in the air.
"This Xianyun City should be one of the more famous cities for immortal cultivators in the Eastern Wasteland cultivation world..."
At least there are Jindan monks in charge.
Moreover, the entire city is engraved with a defensive formation of level three or above.
The large formation is integrated with the puppet armor, and is covered by the spiritual control of the Jindan monks. The entire city seems to have no monitoring compared to modern times, but in the large formation, every move of the monks is monitored by these puppet armors.
"Golden elixir monk, sitting in a fairy city... He has a population of over 100 million in the city under his control..."
"It can be said that the scenery is truly infinite."
With that kind of status, one can be regarded as a prominent figure in the world of immortal cultivation in the Eastern Wasteland.
Loose cultivators must pay three spiritual stones to enter the city, and they can only stay for one day, and must leave after one day.
Fangshi only needs a few spirit coins.
Almost from the moment he entered the city, Makino could feel more and more every corner of this awe-inspiring world of immortality.
It's even more obvious than in Fangshi.
Fortunately, I was just here to deliver a letter this time.
"According to what Manager Xu said, that Xu Chang works in Shuilai Pavilion in Xianyun City."
Tianhe Sect will send disciples to serve in many towns. On the one hand, they can gain experience and training, on the other hand, they can also control the forces under their command, increase the sect's income, etc.
Shuilai Pavilion is the place where Tianhe Sect sells spiritual plants in Immortal City.
Only inner disciples have the honor of serving in such an important place.
Xianyun City is very large, and flying is not yet possible within it. Only a few monks with high magical powers are qualified to fly in the air.
The remaining monks can only walk or ride the cloud horses in the city.
Makino walked for a full two hours before he found Shuilai Pavilion.
"You want to ask Xu Chang to take care of things?" The boy guarding the door was actually at the seventh level of Qi training, which was only one level lower than himself.
With your level of cultivation, you can only be a janitor in a city like this?
Makino corrected his attitude and nodded quickly:
"It was Xu Chang's father who sent me to deliver the message."
The boy smiled and said:
"Steward Xu Chang is gone. You're late."
"No more?"
Makino was startled.
"Yes, after she broke through the foundation-building stage, she practiced demonic techniques and became obsessed..." The boy said calmly, "She has died and her Tao has disappeared. She has been dead for several months. You can leave."
Hearing this, Makino was stunned on the spot.
died?
this…
After saying that, the gatekeeper stopped looking at Makino.
Makino could only turn around and leave, but there was a storm in his heart.
Manager Xu boasted that his daughter's spiritual roots were so good and that she would break through the foundation building stage in a few years. Unexpectedly, this breakthrough was achieved, but it's a pity that... the person is gone?
Makino didn't dare to ask any more questions. In a place like this, it was better to be careful.
After leaving Xianyun City, a sense of oppression lingered in my heart for a long time, and I couldn't get rid of it.
"Cultivation of immortals...the dangers of this path...who can know except yourself?"
"No matter how good your spiritual roots are, if you die at the last minute... you are still an inner disciple of a large sect..."
Makoto was filled with emotion.
The pressure that big sects and big cities bear is really extraordinary.
When he turned around, he could still see countless monks, like a long dragon, swarming towards the Immortal Cloud City.
But even so, there are still countless monks who are trying to squeeze their heads in to get in.
For a moment, Makoto felt an indescribable feeling in his heart.
It wasn't until I spent another day and returned to the cave that I felt a little relieved.
"If we can't find any foreign aid, let's forget about the ghosts and zombies..."
Makino shook his head and went to Xianyun City, which strengthened his mind and tried not to cause trouble.
Although magical instruments are good, they must be used for their purpose.
"Just practice playing games honestly..."
Thinking of this, Makino entered the game and became a prostitute in a brothel.
At that time, the brothel clients had already arrived in the capital.
It's time to enter the palace and complete Duguxia's branch plot.
After completing this branch, it's almost time to start Chapter 5.
