Chapter Seven: The Four Levels of Qi Refining
The time of cultivation is always boring, and over time, it will inevitably lead to impetuousness.
However, Yu Xiao was a person who awakened the memories of his previous life. His mind and nature were much calmer than those of his peers. In this world, the only thing he could pursue was the Great Way of Eternity. His mind was unchanged in this way.
Since he obtained the "Seventy-Two Chapters of Taiyin", Yu Xiao began to study it. There is only one requirement for his cultivation, and his spiritual roots contain water attributes, which can be said to be very consistent with him.
Compared with the basic Qi Refining Strategy, this technique is naturally much more profound and obscure. The entire technique is divided into twelve levels. It took him four months to comprehend the content of the first level.
Fortunately, hard work pays off. Through continuous exploration, he can finally practice this skill formally.
In fact, this is not because of his poor understanding. Generally, only disciples who enter the house can access this level of martial arts.
When you reach the level of the disciples who enter the house, the things you come into contact with will be different, and naturally you will have a higher understanding and understanding than the registered disciples.
What's more, you can get the guidance of Jiedan Zhenren. In this way, it is not difficult to comprehend such martial arts.
Unfortunately, Yu Xiao only met his master Zixu Zhenren on the day he entered the school. He had never met again since then, so how could he get the other party’s guidance?
Maybe Zixu Zhenren himself doesn’t know how many registered disciples there are, Yu Xiao is just one of them, and maybe he has been forgotten a long time ago.
As the saying goes, the master leads his way to practice, and he depends on his own. Yu Xiao cannot rely on the guidance of Jiedan Zhenren, so he can only explore everything by himself.
On that day and night, he sat cross-legged on the stone steps in front of the hut door, with a wooden barrel in front, back, left and right directions each, filled with clear water, and he hugged Yuan Shuyi and entered a state of cultivation.
As he breathed, the clear water in the wooden barrel sublimated into wisps of white mist under the guidance of invisible force, covering the surrounding space.
As time passed by bit by bit, the white mist began to slowly condense into faint frost on the surface of its skin.
I don’t know how long it took, when the sky gradually turned white and the moon disappeared, the frost condensed around it dissipated like a dandelion and disappeared without a trace in the blink of an eye.
At this time, the four wooden barrels filled with clear water had already seen the bottom, and the full water disappeared without a trace.
After a while, Yu Xiao slowly opened his eyes, exhaled a breath of turbid air, and a hint of joy appeared on his face: "The process of ingesting the flower of water is smoother than I imagined. It must be related to my spiritual roots that only have water and fire attributes, which has become my advantage."
However, it is simple to absorb the water flowers, but it is not easy to keep them. After a whole night of cultivation, Yu Xiao's body only had a faint wisp of water flowers.
It is still far from practicing to reach the first level of "The Seventy-Two Chapters of Taiyin" and reaching the level of understanding the shape of water.
As the saying goes, everything is difficult at the beginning, and you just need to follow the steps in the future. It is only a matter of time before you can refine the first level.
In this way, Yu Xiao refined elixirs during the day to improve his cultivation, and practiced "The Seventy-Two Chapters of Taiyin" at night. More than four months passed in a blink of an eye.
One hundred Qi-drawing pills and fifteen Qi-drawing pills have been consumed. In recent days, he has relied on breathing spiritual energy to practice.
Now his magic power is becoming saturated, only one step away from breaking through the fourth level of Qi refining. As the surrounding spiritual energy is absorbed in like a whale, the small barrier has finally opened.
The growth of the torrent of mana in his body made Yu Xiao feel an unprecedented sense of fulfillment and satisfaction, which is the feeling of increased power.
"I finally stepped into the fourth level of Qi Refining." Yu Xiao breathed a sigh of relief, and the next year's brief test for registered disciples was more confident.
Now, it is the sixth year that he has been in the Fuguang Sect. Such cultivation speed seems to be impressive, but in fact only he himself knows that he has hardly stopped the elixirs this year, and most of the registered disciples may not be able to bear the consumption.
This is thanks to Yunshang Immortal Palace.
Thinking of this, he couldn't help but think of something: "I don't know how the Ji Lingcao, which was planted in the Immortal Palace earlier, grew."
The consciousness entered the Yunshang Immortal Palace. On the originally empty spiritual fields, there were dark green spiritual herbs. It had not been taken care of for several months. No weeds grew in the spiritual fields, and the spiritual herbs grew very vigorously.
Although he still cannot meet the requirements of alchemy, the idle spiritual fields in the immortal palace are also a waste, so he simply planted the spirit grass.
This is the main spiritual plant for refining the Ji Qi Pill. In the "Six Arts Miscellaneous Books" he obtained, he recorded the pill recipe and refining method of the Ji Qi Pill. As long as he reaches the fifth level of Qi Refining and gets a elixir furnace, he can start his alchemy career.
He freed up a piece of spiritual field to cultivate seeds specifically for cultivating spiritual grass. Generally, this kind of spiritual plant matures only takes about one year, grows to two to three years, and can be used to refine Qi Ji Pills, and seeds will only be produced ten years later.
Just a little spiritual spring can ripen the Ji Lingcai for more than ten years and obtain a large number of Ji Lingcai seeds.
Yu Xiao planted hundreds of spiritual herbs on the eight spiritual fields in one breath, and did not need the spiritual spring to accelerate their growth, allowing them to grow naturally. At that time, there is no need to waste spiritual spring water, and you can get a batch of materials for refining Qi Ji Pills.
Now that the spiritual spring has been replenished for more than eight months, the spring water has increased a lot compared to before, and it has no more than a quarter of the scale. Yu Xiao is very pleased, and he doesn't know what changes will happen when this spiritual spring is full.
Now that the registered disciple's trial is about to be tested, he does not waste time. He comes to the pavilion and returns to his original body.
After his cultivation level reaches the fourth level of Qi Refining, he can also control some powerful magic weapons.
There are thirty-six restrictions inside the bronze sword, and it is still very difficult for him to activate it, and the power it exerts is only at the level of a low-grade magic weapon.
However, after several months of research, he finally gained some gains.
Strictly speaking, it does not actually belong to the category of magic weapons, but is a standard array treasure. In order to completely control it, Yu Xiao also spent a lot of time studying the method of formation.
Just place the five array flags in five directions and control the array disk to form a closed area blocked by the restriction barrier.
It is a good way to use it to trap enemies or block invasion and protect yourself.
After sacrificing the formation flag and the formation plate, Yu Xiao had nothing to prepare. He sat cross-legged and adjusted his state, just waiting for the registered disciple to come.
Three days later, Yu Xiao settled the pine forest ban barrier and summoned Yan Yuan and headed straight for Luoxia Peak.
After a while, Luoxia Peak was approaching. At this moment, there were already a crowd of people in the martial arts square, and hundreds of Luoxia Peak’s registered disciples gathered here.
Such a grand occasion is rare in this peaceful Chiyun Mountain Range. There are so many registered disciples in Luoxia Peak alone, which is enough to see what a behemoth of the entire Fuguang Sect is.
As soon as Yu Xiao fell, he was submerged in the sea of people. He felt the powerful aura around him. He was inevitably a little unsure and did not know what the specific content of this small trial was.
After a stick of incense, a melodious bell sound came from above Luoxia Peak, echoing among the mountains, and a group of famous disciples were attracted to their attention.
At this time, Yu Xiao also noticed that in the area where Luoxia Peak was hidden into the clouds, rays of glow were cast, and the clouds dispersed, and three huge dragon-headed warships slowly sailed down.
The three warships have experienced many years and wars. The hulls on both sides have different degrees of damage and stains. The dragon head on the head is lifelike, and a hint of hideousness is revealed in their domineering aura, giving people a sense of solemnity and a heart that can't help but feel terrified.
The warship was parked in mid-air, and only then did everyone see clearly that there were already many disciples of the Fuguang Sect lined up on the deck, and they were all the foundation-building cultivators.
Yu Xiao's eyes stopped on the warship in the middle because he saw a familiar figure on it.
It was a middle-aged man with long hair in plain clothes, expressionless face, slightly cold eyes, and domineering eyes glanced at the crowd below, as if a high god.
