After sleeping for a day and a night, Zheng Chen finally woke up. Feeling the fullness of his skills in his body and the smooth movement of the Red Flame Technique in his veins, he suddenly felt as if he had been reborn.
More than eight months have passed since the last time he failed to enter the Spirit Gathering Tower to attack the Spirit Gathering Stage, and Zheng Chen once again returned to the late stage of acupuncture in a short period of time. This speed even he himself felt was too fast.
It's fast. Of course, the reason why he can be so fast is not only because of the spiritual power provided by the spirit stone, but also because he is very familiar with the practice of the essence receiving stage and the acupoint charging stage, and although the previous three attacks on the spirit gathering stage failed
, but it also laid a solid foundation.
Using his mind to control the operation of the Red Flame Technique, his muscles and veins are rushing like a big river. Under the gushing momentum, his green shirt makes a hunting sound. After standing up, he moves for a few times, and there is a crisp sound of bones in his body.
.
After exhaling a breath of foul air, Zheng Chen found that there was a stench coming from his body, and he couldn't help but be shocked.
When he was sleeping, he didn't know that the Red Flame Jue had also tempered his body while refining his spiritual power. In particular, his muscles and veins had more than doubled in size, and a lot of impurities in his body had been excreted.
.
This discovery made Zheng Chen very happy, because the removal of impurities from the body only occurs during the spirit gathering period, but it appears during the acupoint flushing period, which is really unexpected. Of course, this is not too surprising, after all, he
He has long been in the spirit-gathering stage, but his skills have not yet reached it. This time, with the spiritual power from the spirit stone infused into his body, it is normal to achieve such an effect.
When he took out the spiritual stone again, he found that the fluorescence of the spiritual stone had dimmed too much, and there was probably not much spiritual power left in it. The old man guarding the tomb said that this spiritual stone could restore Zheng Chen to his normal state.
Zheng Chen has now recovered his skills in the late stage of acupuncture, which is expected.
However, even though it took a day and a night to refine the Red Flame Jue, Zheng Chen still had a lot of spiritual power in his body that had not yet been refined, so he just ate some food at will, filled his stomach and then entered the cultivation state again. Only cultivation
Monks who have reached the Spirit Gathering Stage can only go without food for a few days and use their spiritual power to support the body's consumption. However, after reaching the Golden Core Stage, they can go without food for a long time.
Now that the smooth veins are completely unblocked, Zheng Chen's refining of spiritual power has more than doubled. It took him only eight days to refine the spiritual power that originally took a month.
With all his spiritual power refined, Zheng Chen's skill cultivation has once again reached the peak of the late stage of acupuncture. Under normal circumstances, he can hit the spiritual gathering stage, but he knows that he still has to open up the reverse channel, otherwise, the follower channel will never be around again.
If you want to advance to the Soul Gathering Stage, your cultivation level in the Red Flame Jue will always stop here, and maybe your cultivation level will drop again.
However, according to the method of reverse pulse cultivation, Zheng Chen accumulated his power in his Dantian to form a cyclone, and then used fiery fire energy to stab the reverse pulse that had already opened two acupoints, trying to open the third reverse pulse.
Acupuncture points.
Unfortunately, Zheng Chen only persisted for less than two hours before giving up decisively. The reverse vein had not been tempered in any way and was not as strong as the shun vein. It used fire energy to forcibly bombard the wood-type reverse vein.
The pain at the acupuncture points was really unbearable for a determined person like Zheng Chen for too long. During the third impact of the Soul Gathering Stage, Zheng Chen could only hold on for a while before fainting.
The fragile reverse meridians are only a little stronger than the tendons of ordinary monks in the early stages of accepting essence. After all, he has taken many pills to temper the body. Although most of those pills are concentrated in the shun meridians, they can also
There is also a small part that spreads to all parts of the body, and naturally a little bit of it acts on the reverse channels.
But if one practices the Wood Refining Divine Seal step by step, and then slowly opens up the reverse channel, it will take at least more than two years to advance to the later stage of acupuncture, and then sprint towards the spirit-gathering stage together with the along channel.
Two years later, Zheng Chen will be almost nineteen years old. He has already passed the age limit within the sect. He will be exiled to the secular property of Luoxia Sect. This makes him unwilling at all. Not to mention that he wants to restore his former self.
To achieve the status of a genius, he must at least get rid of his current reputation as a waste. This is the most direct thought of Zheng Chen, a man of ambition and perseverance.
If you want to quickly open the acupuncture points of Ni Mei, it is not that simple, but Zheng Chen is not without a chance. If he has enough Peiyuan Dan to protect Ni Mei, even if it is impossible to do it in a few months like Shun Mei,
It is completely unobstructed within the time limit, but it may be completed before he is eighteen years old. After all, there is still more than one year and three months before he turns eighteen.
As for the two remaining Maimai Pills, if they are used to open acupuncture points and protect the tendons, it would be too wasteful. After all, they are third-grade elixirs. If you are injured in the future, you may be able to use the Huimai Pills to save your life.
Woolen cloth.
Zheng Chen doesn't know how to refine pills, not even the first-grade Peiyuan Pill, so he can only buy it or exchange it. As for robbing it, he doesn't think he has the strength.
Among the elixirs left by master Ge Shan, they are all first-grade. They have different effects from Peiyuan Dan, but they can be exchanged for Peiyuan Dan.
It is basically impossible to exchange with fellow sects. There are too many disciples in the outer sect of Luoxia Sect. They basically rely on absorbing the spirit energy between heaven and earth to practice. Due to their weak cultivation, it is impossible to refine elixirs.
Our masters rarely give elixirs to their disciples. After all, not every master is as generous as Geshan, and not as few as Geshan's disciples.
Moreover, Peiyuan Dan is also the most commonly used variety among the first-grade elixirs, and no one can have too many of them in his collection.
After much thought, Zheng Chen decided to go down the mountain. About a hundred miles northeast of Luoxiamen, there is a Xiuxianfang City, where you can find a lot of Peiyuan Pills.
It is very easy to go down the mountain. There are no strict restrictions or restrictions. Zheng Chen has gone out several times before, and he has also been to the Monster Forest. He didn't even say hello to his master Ge Shan. It can be seen that the outer gate of Luoxia Gate is facing the disciples going down the mountain.
The restrictions are not strict, and each young disciple is disciplined by his own master.
After stabilizing his realm, Zheng Chen left the mountain gate one early morning, facing the rising sun, and headed northeast to Xiuxianfang City.
Even if the monks who have not yet reached the spirit gathering stage have flying swords, they cannot activate them, let alone use flying swords to travel.
Zheng Chen also heard from his master that there was such a market before his death, and he only knew its approximate location. He made a preliminary estimate that it would take him two or three days to travel more than a hundred miles, but Zheng Chen also knew that Luoxia
There is Wangxia Town near the gate, and there are carriages available for riding in Wangxia Town, which only cost a little money.
Zheng Chen doesn't have many cultivation resources, but he still has a lot of money.
Wangxia Town is quite prosperous. After all, Luoxia Sect's daily supplies come from there, and there are also a lot of small casual cultivators stationed here. Those casual cultivators naturally come to the Monster Forest. They
Enter the monster forest to slay monsters and search for heavenly materials and earthly treasures. When you return to rest, you will stop at Wangxia Town. Because of the protection of Luoxia Gate, Luoxia Town has always been very quiet, and few monks dare to cause trouble here.
Who can guarantee that a certain mortal in the town has no relatives or clansmen in Luoxiamen?
You must know that for countless years, due to Wangxia Town's proximity to water and towers, there have been many mortal children in the town who have been admitted to the Luoxia Sect, and there are also some who have achieved important status and strong strength in the Luoxia Sect.
There was once a Nascent Soul Stage casual cultivator who relied on his profound strength to injure a mortal in Wangxia Town. Before he could get out of a hundred miles, he was killed by an uncle of that mortal's clan who was practicing in Luoxia Sect.
Since then, the casual cultivators who came to Wangxia Town have been more careful. At most, they will yell at the mortal cultivators. Some townspeople who have relatives in Luoxia Sect will even treat them as mortals.
He yelled at monks who were not strong in cultivation.
Half an hour after going down the mountain, Zheng Chen arrived at Wangxia Town by a familiar route and quickly found the horse-drawn carriage shop.
Zheng Chen has been to Wangxia Town several times before, and has also passed by the entrance of the carriage house, but has never gone in. The smell of fodder and livestock emanates from it, which makes most monks, including Zheng Chen, dislike it.
.
Along the way, most people would show envy when they saw the Caixia emblem on Zheng Chen's clothes. After all, being able to enter a force like Luoxia Sect was the dream of many monks when they were young.
, but the conditions for recruiting disciples of the Luoxia Sect are a bit harsh, and not everyone can enter.
When he was recruited by the Luoxia Sect when he was young, it can be said that there are only one or two among hundreds of people. However, Zheng Chen's parents were originally masters of the Luoxia Sect, so naturally they did not need to go through the troublesome selection process. Of course, with his
Even if you go through that process, you will not lose your qualifications.
Regarding the envious expressions of everyone, Zheng Chen would naturally not have any sense of superiority. Instead, he would inadvertently reveal a self-deprecating smile. Thinking that he would have to leave the Luoxia Sect if he could not advance to the Soul Gathering Stage before the age of eighteen, he could not bear it.
I can't help but frown and say that I don't care, which is absolutely impossible.
Standing at the door of the carriage house, Zheng Chen could hear the neighing of horses coming from the carriage house. Occasionally, people were shouting, whether they were shouting at people or animals.
Standing at the door was a smart-looking Zhike. He was not very old, he could be around seventeen or eight years old. After seeing Zheng Chen, he greeted him with a smile. After Zheng Chen explained his purpose, he greeted him politely.
Introduce Zheng Chen to the carriage shop.
"Sir, there happened to be a carriage in the carriage, and it was about to go to the market you mentioned, but it was already full of people." The Zhike boy bowed and said to Zheng Chen.
"Then I'll rent a carriage myself. Money is not an issue." Zheng Chen said calmly. Indeed, although his money is not a lot, it is definitely enough for a mortal to eat and drink for several lifetimes.
"Well... the carriages in the business have been very nervous recently. Now I'm afraid there won't be any spare carriages. Many carriages have been booked a long time ago." The Zhike boy paused for a moment, then said.
.
"Tell your boss, I can double the commission." Zheng Chen was not too surprised, but said generously.
"Then you come with me. The boss is greeting some guests who are about to leave. I will take you to see him." The Zhike boy said interestingly, and then his pace quickened.
When they arrived at the place, Zheng Chen saw a middle-aged man who looked a little bloated, explaining something to an old man in simple clothes in front of a carriage.
The old man was obviously a groom, and behind the old man stood several extraordinary-looking people. These people were not very good-looking, but they had an aura of being out of this world, and there was even more sparkle in their eyes.
They appear and disappear, and each of them has a long aura. I guess they are all monks with strong cultivation.
When he saw the fat middle-aged man, the Zhike boy raised his hands to Zheng Chen and said, "That rich man is my boss." After saying that, he quickly walked to the fat middle-aged man and whispered a few words.
sentence.
After hearing this, the fat middle-aged man turned his head and glanced at Zheng Chen, but he didn't show any excitement. Even after seeing the Luoxiamen badge on Zheng Chen's chest, he didn't feel the slightest bit envious.
What surprised Zheng Chen even more was that the boss didn't come over to greet him. Instead, he was still yelling at the groom.
The old groom seemed extremely reluctant at this time, but also seemed helpless. He just bowed humbly, as if begging the boss for something, and there were tears in his old eyes.
"You old guy, if I hadn't been short of manpower, would I have invited you here? It's not like I wouldn't give you a commission! I'm leaving it here today. You have to do it this year, and you have to do it even if you don't. Otherwise,
...Hey, your Linger is fourteen years old, right?"
Zheng Chen got closer and heard that the boss seemed to be threatening the old man.
"Uncle Qian, the old man just recovered from illness some time ago. How can this old bone withstand the long journey now? Besides, my wife is also bedridden..."
Snapped!!!
The old man had just begged, but the fat boss seemed to have worn away his patience. He raised his fat palm and slapped the old man, causing blood to bleed from his mouth and he fell to the ground, whimpering and begging for mercy.
“If you don’t eat the toast, you’ll be fined with alcohol!”
The fat boss seemed to be still angry, he actually raised his leg and kicked the old man again.
The few monks on the side did not express any reaction to this situation. They just urged the fat boss: "Boss Qian, the time is almost up. How long do you plan to keep us dry?"
