(Thank you ‘Roaring Octopus’ for the big reward)

On this day, after Ding Qi sent Ding Shan away, he shook his head: "It seems that the only way to solve the military service issue is with ferns."

Today, he learned from Dingshan that his second uncle was really involved in the battle for the position of the leader. Since he was promoted by Deputy Head Sha at the beginning, this fight was affected and he lost his

He resigned from his original position as helmsman and became an outsider again. He returned to Liangcheng and took care of the few shops.

The matter of military service under the government also fell back on the Ding family.

After hearing about the military service from Dingshan and learning that Dingshan wanted to inform the Ding family, Ding Qi spent a day bringing back five ferns from the mountains.

Thinking of the surprised expression on Dingshan's face, Ding Qi smiled.

Regarding the twists and turns of the military service, Ding Qi had no intention of letting the Ding family know about it. Some time ago, he learned that the Ding family was busy with Ding Yong's marriage. At this time, it was obviously not suitable to pass on this twists and turns to let the Ding family know.

The Ding family only has more troubles.

However, Ding Qi frowned slightly when he thought about his future search for ferns.

Today he was able to search for five ferns in less than a day, which was due to great luck.

He does not find five ferns every day. At his current speed, he can only find more than three and less than four plants a day on average.

"At this speed, it is still quite difficult to offset military service with ferns." Thinking of this, Ding Qi felt helpless.

According to his estimate, if he really wanted to use the method of paying ferns to offset military service, he would have to find at least five ferns on average every day. A safer number should be six or even seven ferns per day.

Fernsaceae is a herb with strong solar terms and only has a survival period of about half a year. Even though Jingzhou has a special geography and does not have obvious seasonal changes, the coldest time of the year can be called warm, but it is not

No exception.

As soon as the solar term comes, the phoenix will die within two or three days and disappear from Qixia Mountain. It will not grow back until the second year, at the end of spring. Counting all the time when you can pick the phoenix,

Only half a year.

Ding Qi thought carefully as he recalled the information about phoenix grass that he had read in the previous article. "The article said that if you want to use phoenix grass to pay for military service, you need to pay in advance within half a year."

Hundreds of ferns, this is not a difficult thing for me."

Although there is only more than a month left before the time when the ferns die. But Ding Qi is confident that he can gather the hundred ferns required by the government before the date arrives.

He has not yet sold the ferns that he searched for in the mountains this month, but already has dozens of them. In addition, in the remaining month, he can easily collect them as long as he goes to the mountains to pick them.

together.

As long as these hundred ferns are paid in advance, the remaining quantity can be collected before the two-year deadline arrives.

There will be no problem if you pay it to the government.

"If I want to collect all the required amounts in the remaining year, my efficiency in searching for phoenix grasses needs to reach the level of five or six. Everything depends on innate skills." Ding Qi thought.

Based on his understanding of innate skills, if he wanted to be able to find five or six ferns every day, he would need to master the first three levels of innate skills.

With the current speed of Ding Qi's cultivation, he was not sure whether he could reach the third level before picking ferns next year. However, a method recorded on the brocade to increase the speed of cultivation convinced him.

I can refine it myself before next year.

This method is one of the few methods recorded on brocades and silks that can increase the speed of cultivation without taking pills.

In fact, most of these methods of increasing the speed of cultivation without using elixirs are much more demanding for Ding Qi than taking elixirs. However, only the method he thought of now does not require such harsh conditions. He is now

It can be done.

"According to the records on the brocade, this 'deep water' cultivation method is two or three times faster than usual practice. Even though the practice may be a little painful, I can only give it a try." Thinking back to the brocade.

Ding Qi secretly thought about the recorded content.

The method he was thinking of to increase the speed of cultivation is called the method of "water deep and hot". According to the records on the brocade and silk, you need to practice the innate skills to the second level. Only by using this method can you increase the speed of cultivation.

Effect.

Not long ago, Ding Qi reached the second level of cultivation and was able to use this method.

This kind of cultivation method is actually not uncommon in the martial arts world. It is a method of increasing the speed of cultivation by constantly exerting pressure on the cultivator from the outside world.

The specific method is to place the practitioner in a continuous hot bath or under a waterfall to practice. Although this method is quite laborious to practice, it is indeed very effective.

Many high-end sects in the martial arts have used this method when training their disciples.

This is a similar method recorded on the brocade and silk. The only difference is that the brocade and silk require that when performing this kind of practice, you need to assume several rather special postures.

besides,

In Ding Qi's opinion, there is nothing special about it.

"The 'fiery' method of continuous hot bathing is very troublesome given my conditions. But the 'water deep' method..."

Ding Qi couldn't help but smile as he recalled the impressive forest waterfall he saw in Qixia Mountain some time ago.

Although 'Water Depth' and 'Fire Heat' are two different cultivation methods, they all use the same principle. In fact, no matter which method is chosen, the effect is the same, there is no difference, and the effects cannot be superimposed.

The 'fiery' method requires some special equipment and is not easy to perform. Fortunately, when he went up the mountain to collect herbs, he accidentally discovered a waterfall in the forest, which allowed him to easily use the 'deep water' method.

Practice according to the law.

"With that waterfall to help with cultivation, military service is no longer a problem. The only pity is that in the past two years, we can't sell ferns to refine elixirs." Ding Qi thought to himself.

.

In the past year or two, he had to stop refining elixirs, but he didn't really think about it. He just felt it was a pity.

Without the hassle of military service, he could indeed sell ferns and refine elixirs, and the elixirs were very effective.

However, it would take several months to gather enough elixirs. It would take too long and the efficiency would be too low. In this way, it would not have much effect at all.

If he wants the elixir to play a significant role in his cultivation, he can only go deep into the mountains and forests and pick those precious herbs. This cannot be done in a short time, and he needs to practice his innate skills to the

A profound degree.

This time I went to practice at the waterfall in the forest, which was just right to speed up my practice, so it was just right.
