When the lotus seeds take root and sprout, Hong Ming naturally doesn’t need to take care of them.
After just a few days, the lotus seeds sprouted, and the five elements of spiritual energy contained in the pond water became more and more intense, and the entire pond water became wider as a result.
In the sun and moon gourd, more fifth-line spiritual power gathers here.
The five elements lotus seeds grow, and the area of spiritual soil in the gourd expands again.
Now the Sun Moon Gourd covers an area of thousands of feet, and Hong Ming can plant more spiritual materials at a time.
…
More than a month later, the Yang Zhiniao was cultivated, and the Xuan Shui Turtle finally had a companion. However, it was obvious that the Xuan Shui Turtle did not like the sudden appearance of its companion. It sprayed Xuan Shui every time, killing the Yang Zhi Bird.
Fight until you retreat.
Hongming was still practicing hard during this period.
The power of the soul has reached its peak, but the spiritual power of the Dantian and the essence of the physical body are still slowly increasing. During this period, it still needs to be polished carefully and continue to make slow progress.
The path of spiritual practice is like this most of the time, and there are very few moments when one truly makes rapid progress.
This period will last for half a year.
But at this time, Hong Ming felt in a dilemma.
Because what should be the next step in cultivation?
Hong Ming has reached the peak of the eleventh level of Qi training, and is already one of the best during the Qi training period. Even in the Hundred Thousand Mountains, there are not many people who can be better than Hong Ming during the Qi training period.
Next, it is time to advance to the foundation building stage or the twelfth level of Qi training.
This is a matter of course.
Only then did Hong Ming think about what to do.
Directly advance to the foundation building stage?
Hong Ming no longer has any problems, but in order to increase his foundation, he still needs to refine spiritual materials, then break through the Dantian Qi sea, and advance to the foundation building stage. But what happens after this step?
Hong Ming can refine elixirs and accumulate spiritual stones to purchase the spiritual objects needed for advancement.
Even if it is a rare one and the price is astonishing, Hong Ming can use it for several years without any problem.
However, there was no one to guide me regarding the cultivation techniques and the foundation-building period.
Moreover, Hong Ming also wants to try the twelfth level of Qi training. The perfect Qi training will create a profound foundation, which will be of great benefit to future cultivation.
Therefore, the best way is to enter a sect.
It would be much better if there were large sects.
"Forget it about small sects. It has become more difficult to enter the four major sects."
Hong Ming was a little helpless.
During the trip to Leiyun Valley some time ago, the conspiracy of the Slaughter Immortal Sect spread instantly throughout the Shiwan Mountains, and even spread beyond the Shiwan Mountains. Among the inner disciples of various major sects, and even the true disciples, there were people from the Slaughter Immortal Sect.
This shocked many sects.
In the past, although the sect was strict in accepting disciples, it was not so fussy.
Even if the origin is a little strange, it doesn't matter.
To be honest, many monks are unwilling to confess their identity and background, and who doesn’t have some adultery?
But that won't work now.
For more than a month, Shiwandashan has been turbulent. Headed by the four major sects, a demon-slaying list has been established. As long as the demons of the Tuxian Sect are killed, secret techniques, magic weapons, spiritual materials, etc. can be obtained from the four major sects.
This time the rewards given by the four major sects were very high, which also caused a sensation.
In the past month or so, almost all major sects had disciples who were discovered to be members of the Immortal Slaughter Sect, which attracted everyone to hunt them down. Some sects even suffered heavy losses when they were cleaning up their sects.
The news was spread in a mess, and no one knew the details.
But after that, the major sects became more strict about accepting disciples.
If the origins are not so innocent and there are signs of the demon of the Immortal Slaughter Sect, they are likely to be arrested and investigated. Although most of them have nothing to do with the Immortal Slaughter Sect, it is inevitable to make some noise.
Moreover, Tianjian Mountain actually caught a disciple of the Slaughter Immortal Sect who was about to become an inner disciple some time ago, which made this sentiment even more aggravating.
It was very difficult for Hong Ming to enter the four major sects.
If it were in the past, it wouldn't be too difficult, but if we go now, how can Hong Ming win people's trust as he comes from overseas?
Thinking of this, Hong Ming felt a little headache:
"The four major sects, Tianjian Mountain, Guangling Sect, Earth Demon Sect and Yuling Sect, except Yuling Sect, are already strict in accepting disciples. Coupled with the current situation, it is more difficult to enter. The best choice is
Enter the Yuling Sect."
The Yuling Sect was originally a sect located outside Shiwanda Mountain. However, due to some accidents, the sect was moved to Shiwandashan, so it was considered an outsider.
In addition, the Yuling Sect has very few disciples and is very strict in accepting disciples. Therefore, there are no people from the Immortal Slaughter Sect in the sect, and instead, it accepts disciples as usual.
However, how to join the Yuling Sect is also a troublesome problem.
One month later.
Hong Ming was practicing, polishing his spiritual power and rubbing his kidney essence, when a transmission note floated down from the formation outside.
After Hong Ming picked up the transmission talisman and checked it, he had a strange look on his face.
After a while, Hong Ming opened the formation and welcomed Bai Fei in.
"Some time ago, I heard that during the trip to Leiyun Valley, the Slaughter Immortal Sect appeared and caused uproar in the city. All four major sects were dispatched. It'll be good to see that Brother Hong is fine." Bai Fei said very politely.
Hong Ming laughed.
After the guests and hosts were seated, Hong Ming brought out some spirit wine to entertain them.
After drinking two glasses of wine and the atmosphere became much more lively, Hong Mingcai asked: "How is Brother Bai's Tiangang Body cultivation going? Has it made some progress?"
Bai Fei is a true disciple of the Tiangang Sect.
Living in Tiangang's body, this Tiangang's body is a general term. It is not a specific physical constitution, but the body's muscles, bones, flesh and blood, which are different from ordinary people and are born with infinite strength.
Therefore, this kind of constitution can be divided into upper, middle and lower levels.
Bai Fei's Tiangang body was originally a low-grade one, but later got a chance and became a middle-grade one. After this trip to the secret realm of Thunder Cloud Valley, it was said that it had improved again, so Hong Ming asked this question.
"There has been some progress, but it is still far from the top level, and the cultivation of the soul is still troublesome."
Bai Fei's tone was long and disappointed.
Hong Ming didn't care and poured another glass of spiritual wine.
The two of them were drinking, and Bai Fei said:
"Come here this time and make a deal with Brother Hong. Bai has a water-attribute secret technique here that can enhance the soul. He wants to exchange it for Brother Hong's ice-attribute secret technique. I don't know what Brother Hong wants.
?”
"this……?"
Hong Ming showed hesitation.
Bai Fei struck while the iron was hot and introduced this secret technique.
Hong Ming showed excitement in a friendly manner.
After some discussion, Hong Ming showed a look of regret on his face and said: "Brother Bai's kindness is appreciated. It's just that I consumed part of the elixir myself last time and gave another part to Brother Ge. Now it's gone. Really."
I can’t trade with Brother Bai anymore.”
"I see."
Bai Fei's face showed a depressed look.
The two chatted for a while, and then Bai Fei left.
A few days later, Bai Fei invited Hong Ming to explore an ancient cave to search for treasures, but Hong Ming refused again.
In this way, half a year later, one day, after Hong Ming quietly handed over the cave, he boarded the Feiyun Boat in Fuyun Fairy City.
There are more than 100,000 mountains among the 100,000 mountains. There are countless mountains like the Fulong Mountains that stretch for 5,000 to 6,000 kilometers. Therefore, the distances between various sects and immortal cities are very far.
Even a real person in the Golden Core stage is unwilling to use escape techniques to move forward.
This Feiyun Boat is the property of the Tianjian Mountain Affiliated Chamber of Commerce. It is used to carry monks to and from various places.
Two days after Hong Ming left, in a certain cave in Fuyun Immortal City.
The token on Bai Fei's body suddenly appeared. In the token, a ray of light rose, and a deep and distant voice emerged from the light:
"Hong Ming has already boarded the Feiyun Boat and is heading to the southwest. This time, you must get the small gray sword, otherwise you will know the consequences."
Bai Fei's expression changed drastically and he saluted respectfully.
After the light dissipated, Bai Fei's face became ugly, full of annoyance, regret, and determination.
